About About the place

Thiruvananthapuram Zoo, a historically significant zoological park, is situated in the heart of the city. It boasts a diverse animal collection, including tigers, lions, anacondas, and a notable variety of bird species. While the zoo's grounds are generally well-maintained and spacious enclosures are present for some animals, visitor experiences are mixed. Concerns are frequently raised regarding the size and condition of certain enclosures, and the absence of some popular animals like elephants and giraffes. Recent renovations, such as the reptile house, have been undertaken, but the zoo is showing its age and could benefit from further investment to enhance animal welfare and the overall visitor experience. The zoo spans approximately 3km and offers battery-operated vehicle tours.
