    It’s very green and scenic but the number of animals is very few. It is more like a long walk through a jungle. Among the few options, they have the rare white tiger, which is very impressive however you might have to wait at times to catch a full view of this wild cat. Inside the zoo, there is a separate section for snakes. They have large variety of snakes and fish, some of which might give you chills! The park also has a small garden & you can enjoy with your children. There is a small canteen as well but not many options to eat. It is suggested to bring your snacks along. Carrying your own water is also recommended. The toilet facility is not so good. This place becomes highly crowded over the weekends and if you are looking for some good photography opportunity, then it will be better to be there on weekdays. Although, there aren’t many animals for a zoo, it is a nice escape from the city life. One can spend close to three hours inside the premises.

    Best place for chikdren recration and for picnic spot. You have to purchase ticket easily at gate, seperate parking for vehicle. Place is in highway take care about speed vehicle. You can visit by walking yourself or take a battery powered vehicle at very low cost for person and for 40 minutes. You can see here fishes of diffrent types, deer of atleast 7 types, snakes, lion, asiatic lion, hippo, crocodile, various types of birds, and a special place called butterfly garden you can watch many types of butterfly here. Situated 9 Km from Bilaspur city one can easily get auto taxi or self drive roads are awesome. Overall a best place in city limit for peace and happiness.

    It is very green and scenic, but there are very few animals. It's like a long walk through the jungle. Some options include the rare white tiger, which is very impressive, but sometimes you have to wait to see this wild cat in full. The zoo has a dedicated area for snakes. There is a wide variety of snakes and fish, some of which are chilling. There is also a small garden in the park, so you can enjoy it with your children. There is also a small canteen, but not many dining options. It is recommended to bring snacks. Also, it is recommended to bring water. Toilet facilities are not so good. Weekends are very crowded, so if you want to take pictures, weekdays are recommended. Not many animals for a zoo, but a nice escape from city life. You can spend about 3 hours on site.

    My YouTube channel - Nature Aadarsh Tiwari... Go and see aquarium video. This is a very famous Zoological Garden. Here you will get to see many animals. There are all kinds of deer here. I found this the best aquarium whose entry is 10 ru. You must also go here once. You can also roam here by tourist car or cycle, whose fee is 250ru. and 50 ru. White tiger also find. Musium is very beautiful..and this zoo entry fee only 20..

    Pendari Kanan is a zoological park located at the outskirts of Bilaspur city with variety of birds, animals, reptiles and fishes to explore in. The center of attraction of the park are the Big Wild Cats which includes The Royal Bengal Tiger, The White Tiger, The Lions and The Panthers. You may spend half a day around here with your friends & family and witness some of the finest big wild cats along with other wild animals to have fun with.

    Zoo is overall good in terms of greenish diversity of flora/ forests. But comparative to this numbers of fauna/animals are not flourishing at that pace. There are no well equipped warehouses for them. Authority must be concerned about it.

  • 5/5 Mayank G. 1 year ago on Google
    It a very good place to chill and experience the beauty of nature. There are so many different animals in this zoo but most importantly there are a lot of big cats like asian lion, african lion, bengal tiger, white tiger, leopard which you might be interested in watching. And there is an aquarium also.

    Fantastic and cool place for animal lovers and must for kids!!! Like any zoo-always it's great to spend time with nature and animals. Friendly place for public and can go with family and friends.

  • 4/5 Sagar S. 2 years ago on Google
    - Quite best zoo as per the categories of animals and birds. Spread over a larger area where you can enjoy picnic with family or friends. There's were several water dispensers available inside zoo. - Vehicle parking charges was on high side by zoo authorities(Two wheeler : ₹20 , Four wheeler: ₹30) - SDO needs to look upon the maintenance of the zoo as some of the dispenser were broken and fountain throwing water outside of it. - Filed an complaint regarding maintenance by visiting SDO office inside zoo. Hope they'll fix it soon.

    There is work on progress... Animals have been shifted somewhere else.... You can see only some animals like different kinda deers, peacocks and one or two more... Other animals like lion tiger panther white tiger are not there now a days.... I hope after renovation they will bring them back to the zoo. But if you want your child should explore new things... Must go there.. It is full of greenery.

    Very clean and safe environment. Watching Lion and Tiger this time was just mouthdropping. As if they were just posing for the show. Pelicans and peacocks were looking so beautiful. It was fun watch the pelicans swim. You are not allowed to throw plastics amd other wastes inside the zoo You don't get online tickets... tickets need to be purchased then and there only

    One of the major attractions in Bilaspur. Kanan Pendari Zoological garden is spread around 114 acres in the heart of Bilaspur. It is created in the intention of giving the welfare of the wildlife of the region and to monitor the endangering species of the region. It has lots of animals , birds , reptiles and fishes many other things to explore you can spend a half day. Major attractions 1. Zoo visit through Bugey ride, price is Rs.250/- for 40 minutes. 6 adults and 2 kids can easily sit. 2. One good standard acquarium , ticket price 10/- person. 3. Bilasa Garden, which has some swings . It's typical kids space. 4. I spotted Toy train as well but it was not functional. 5. Many improvement are going as I watch civil work at many places inside zoo , means in future many new attraction may be added. 6. I spotted some rare species like white deer, white peacock, white tigers. 7. Carry water bottles since i couldnt find any place where I could buy water bottle. Overall it's good place for kids. Prefer time to visit : July to Mid March Opening time : 09:30am.

  • 4/5 Tanmay D. 3 years ago on Google
    4 star for the variety of species they have. But I wanted to deduce some star here as the health of the animals is concerning. You will find a variety of species, which you may have not even imagine of seeing them, but you'll find it here. Something that really surprised me was the vulture sitting erect with mean eyes. The beauty of the peafowls and peacocks was just out of the world. The white Bengal tiger is a bliss to see and so are the tigers and lions. Although I still feel bad and concerned about their health. They should be treated well. Yeah, currently, food/snacks stalls are closed. Must visit zoo if you are in Bilaspur.

    Good place for children and to spend some family time, however the place is keep on downgrading their facilities due to poor maintenance. Entry fees is 20 for adult and 10 for the children above 3yr. Rest everything is free, if you want to get a quick e-rikshaw ride in the zoo, you have to pay 300 for 6 people.. a better maintenance will make this place a go to place in the weekend for families.

    It's a Park more than a Zoo and will be loved by nature enthusiasts. There aren't many animals. You will find monkeys, Peacocks, crocodiles, bison, Ostrich, different species of deer etc. Asiatic lion and sloth beer is the centre of attraction here. Playground area is located here and Resting area and seats are also available inside the Zoo to take some rest. An aquarium is located inside the area. You will not find any restaurant outside the zoo only a few stalls of gupchup, kulfi etc. To reach the zoo you can take auto from Nehru chowk and Fare is only 20-30/-. Overall It's a good place to roam with family and friends and It should be visited as a park not as a Zoo, otherwise you may get disappointed.

  • 5/5 Suman A. 2 years ago on Google

    Very nice place to visit in bilaspur with children and older members of the family to enjoy the time in this busy life. But I want to add in this about the condition of animals that is not very good, I personally feel that the management not feed them properly and the condition of place is also not good as much they can. We enjoy the animals but not care about them is very selfish. We can’t create jungle but when we are taking them in city then must provide some feel of that. I hope they feel like new home not like slave.
