Best time to visit this place is in morning. as noon its become too hot. i suggest to hire small bugy in this area as its too big. you should visit aquarium,safari, bird area. rest of the area is also good. I do not suggest old aged people to visit this place in noon time.

Widest range of royal bengal tigers and lion saffari is something you should not miss. other than this you can also find repties and even during winters the flower garden is awesome.

we spent about 4 hours here seeing many of the animal exhibits and going on the 'safari' drives to see tigers (including famed white tigers), elephants, lions, and sloth bears. the exhibits are well done, with fairly spacious areas for the animals and birds. really enjoyed the hippo, lions, tigers (orange and white versions), plus many others. we paid for...
