THIRUVANANTHAPURAM ZOO REVIEWS

I recently visited the Thiruvananthapuram Zoo, and I must say, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Located in the heart of the city, this zoo is a refreshing oasis that provides a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. As soon as I entered the zoo, I was struck by the lush greenery and the tranquil atmosphere that pervades the entire complex. The zoo is home to a wide variety of animals, including elephants, tigers, lions, and monkeys, among others. I was impressed by the spacious enclosures that provide the animals with ample room to roam and exercise. The zoo also has a well-maintained aquarium, a reptile house, and a butterfly garden, which are all definitely worth visiting.

Clean and well maintained. The buggy service is super useful for senior citizens and those could help with easy mobility. It's been a while since my last visit and the upgrades are pleasant and welcoming. Would love to see more animals and also more natural habitat for the caged cats. Hats off to the management for maintaining it well under the limitations.

Excellent zoological park located in the state capital Trivandrum. It's very well maintained, neat and tidy. Affordable low rate for entry pass and cloak room too are available at very low rate. Refreshment areas are available inside the zone. Overall an excellent experience.
