We went in expecting a normal zoo with animals in cages....but to our surprise the Zoo was actually a safari and the animals - even the wild ones are not kept in cages at all - they are housed in large enclosures separated from the public through deep moats. And the Zoo is very very green and pleasant with the... More

The zoo was really good but we visited in the mid of summer which a big mistake even though you can drive through the zoo u will need to get down and walk a bit to see the animals. In that incredible heat though the animals were sheltered properly they too looked exhausted !!!!

This is one of the beautiful calm & quite not too crowded zoo. it has 625 acres of space in between Kambalakonda Reserve Forest. A must visit place when you are in and around Vizag. One of the main attraction is the White Tiger. This zoo can be further maintained well. there is a shortage of water near animals. you... More

Very well maintained. You take your car inside and drive around, very convenient. Green, neat and follows a sort of open zoo concept. Has 2 entrances/exits - one from the highway and other more picturesque one is from the beach. Worth visiting for any tourists coming to Vizag

This place is just huge. It is covering 625 acres of forest land just beside the ocean drive. The tigers there are really a must see. Also there are a host of other animals. You can spend an entire day out there. Remember to have your walking shoes on when you go there. Simply loved the place.

There were not many but the ride was very good covering the whole of the Zoo. Cars were allowed inside the Zoo with % occupants at a Fee of Rs 200. It was a boon as i was... More

Wonderful place to go, especially with children. The zoo is well maintained and so are the animal. Avoid visiting on a holiday as the animals are too scared to come out. Excellent collection of birds. No food stalls inside, so take food. Battery cars available for taking you to main places in the zoo. The zoo requires entry fee for... More

Indira Gandhi Zoological Park is an amazing place to visit again and again for the kids as well as for the grown ups. A huge area with lush green surroundings yet well maintained. Different species of animals, birds and reptiles look healthy as well as happy as most of them are kept in open areas and not caged. Toy train... More

At the entrance, one might get the feeling that the zoo holds nothing much for the visitors. But what a way to be proved wrong. The zoo has a host of animals, birds and reptiles who are not placed in cramped cages, but have been given ample space to roam around freely. The premises are clean and the zoo canteen... More
