Need to make it a pleasant experience and fun for the kids and families. Lack of a good food court and variety of animals. The cages and animals inside look pretty sad which makes the trip quite upsetting. Through the small park inside recently built is beautiful, looks like a mini taj mahal.

Terrible place. Breaks your heart. And isn't really very safe. Overrun with pickpockets and muggers. Stay away.

This old Garden, having some beautiful old trees can be improved. Presently this place is not worth visiting. I feel sorry for poor animals, surely they need love and affection.

Not recommended due to poor housekeeping and non professional management. The animals are not in a good shape either.

not the best zoo in the world, not the worst either. the city govt has spent money to improve it in the recent past.. still a long way to go to become a truly good zoo... they have nearly all the animals that an average zoo would have though.. theyre not starving either..

Centrally located and with an inexpensive entrance ticket (Rs 10, IIRC), this is an affordable outing for most Karachi families. The collection of animals is surprisingly large and varied, from birds and reptiles to lions, tigers, kangaroos and elephants. This can be quite educational, especially considering that most visitors will probably never have the chance to see these any of... More
