Category  Natural / Scenic beauty It was established in the year 1972 and also known as Binkadakatti Zoo. Home to various types of species, Gadag Zoo also shelters rescued wild animals to be nurtured and rehabilitate. The Zoo is also a center for research studies on the habitats and other fields relating to wild animals. Overall, the Zoo summarizes a retreat to the wild animals in Nature. In a tribute to the gifts of Mother Nature, the Biodiversity, the characters of lifeforms, the multitude of life is an undiminished wonder to our beings. We all bare the same genesis called life, and here with a stand we envision for a better living with our distinct creatures. In order to conserve the realm of life and pristine Biodiversity in India, we involve people in conservation through management of effective Zoo and educational programs.

So calm and peaceful zoo. Everywhere there are trees which keep us cool on a sunny day. I enjoyed observing animals and they especially have glass windows where we can see the animals more clearly, even photos can be captured clearly. It wasn't crowded maybe because we went on weekdays. Simply saying, we enjoyed it from start to end.

The zoo is not the most attractive one but yet an interesting one. Entry fees is mere . You find variety of birds Indian and oversees, many different types of wild animals like wild deer, antilop,neelgai,bear etc. Also reptiles like monitor lizard and crocodiles. The main attraction stays the pride of lions , the great Indian tiger , the spotted leopard and the Hyena. The zoo has dustbins all around the premises, and also each and every animal category is being explained by self explanatory boards outside the cage. You also can go for the zoo ride in a cart, if you have any SENIOR CITIZENS or would like to go with a family. But I prefer to walk . You have good car and two wheeler parking facilities, with mere charges. The zoo premises could have been more greener and more number of guards outside the cage to be brought it for the safety of animals and also humans.

This place is strategically located and space is abundant. But it needs lot of improvement, animals are not clearly visible. No cafeteria, zoo map missing. Etc. The concerned governing body has to seriously look into it.

Let me start by saying this that there was not even a single litter in the zoo.It was kept clean and tidy.Only the rest rooms needs a makeover.As of the zoo it's a good place for kids and adults too to rejoice and connect with nature.The greenery is awesome. You can take your own food n drinks inside( but please refrain from littering and feeding the zoo animals).Entry fees is also minimal starting from INR 50 for adults and INR 30 for kids.Ample parking is avaliable at a cost of 50 bucks only.Take all your establishment from home only as you won't find much shops around zoo.Electrical Cart is also avaliable for elderly visitors or for anyone for that matter by paying INR 300.The car carries 8 passengers.They have a total of 3 electrical vehicles for touring purpose.I suggests you walk on foot.,as you can spend your own time in your own liking.

We visited on Sunday afternoon. Quiet and serene place, with most of zoo animals ( including lion, tiger, leopard, bear). Battery vehicle for senior citizens. Children's play area. Hunble staff. Enjoyed..

Cost: 50/adult plus 50 parking (October 2023) Food: Not Available, it's best to bring your own. There are toilets, however they are not very well maintained. Playground/park: Not up to standard. Closing time: 5:30 p.m Time required: a couple of hours should be sufficient. It's best to arrive in the later part of the day. Parking is available and sufficient of it. To be honest, the limited size of this zoo and its small number of animals and birds justify the fees charged. This is not a spot to spend the entire day, but it is perfect for a short trip of two to three hours with the family.

Best place to visit with family and kids. Lots of animals are there to see. Tiger, lion, deer are the main attraction. Place is clean and easily accessible.

Amazing zoo Amazing tourist place , Here u can see animals,trees, parks for small children ,Here u can eat there enjoy the nature in this zoo, Here u can see 🐦 🦃 🦉 🐥 🐔 🦅 🐅🐆🦁🦝🦥🐐🐊🦚🦆🦩etc The zoo is very neat and lovely for 1 day trip .

It's nice place to visit with family members and friends. When we were kid by that time entry fee was hardly ₹5-10. Now entry fees for adult is ₹40 and for kids (5-12) is ₹20. We could see development works and it's worthy. It has play ground for kids and garden to sit and spend time. You can cover whole zoo with in 1hr and you can relax and spend some time with family in under tree shades.

The zoo is worth visiting if you want to spend an hour or two alone or with family and children. It houses a limited but some exotic number of animals. Especially different varieties of Pheasant, Eagle, Neelgai, Ostrich, Hyna and Jackle. Apart from that Lion, tiger and black buck, spotted deer. The entrance ticket for adults is 50₹, and 30₹ for the children. There is a dedicated paved path to roam around the zoo, with proper signs and boards explaining the details about the animals which are housed here. The Battery operated vehicle is available at the premises, it has the capacity of 6+ member, costs 50₹ per person. Elders and specially abled can make use of it. There is dedicated play area for the children. Toilets are available inside the zoo. No food or eatery inside the zoo, better carry food if you are planning to spend more time. The big bird cage walk needs to be opened for the public, to get the closer look at birds. Sufficient parking available for the Two wheeler and four wheelers, Parking fee is 30₹ and 50₹ respectively.

Good for family outing. Was able to find emu, ostrich, hens, wolf, cheetah, tiger, lion, crocodile, snakes, and many more animals. Children have even got a park to spend time.

Nicely maintained and undertaken by Mysore Zoo authority. Must visit in August - February month. Tuesday zoo will be closed.

Really good zoo. You have different kind of birds and animals. It's a big ambience, so the best thing is to pay for electric transport.

Osm!! Place for Those who wants to spend time with their family members i think this is the one of Best Place. About Zoo👇 They Maintained & very Clean. Roads are osm!!. All time Greenery. Animal Lovers😍 Overall Big Thumbs up 👍 for Zoo Staff.

We all know zoos are amazing places to visit, this one is not that big, of course has good no. Of animals, like lions, tigers, leopards, ostrich, eagles and is well maintained and also has a service of electric vehicles for locomotion around the area with a guide which is optional and is charged separately It also has two play areas for children, and also has many sitting areas if u r planning for a picnic.

Nice And Awesome Place to visit with Family.Must Visit Place in Gadag.

Wonderful experience especially for kids seeing live of the wild life animals and some rare unseen birds. Fabulous way to spend a holiday with nature.

I have visited this Zoo after 17 years....Its now developed & maintained very well & its exactly situated at a Place called Binkadakatti & it has garden also..The best place to take kids & family...But we see minimal animals & birds here. If you go to this place, you can explore another Garden near by called Salumarada Thimmakka Garden which has Zip line & Garden too

Gadag zoo is one of 10 zoos of Karnataka. Is cleanly maintained. But has only few animals housed in it. They are Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Sloth bear, Hyena, Wolves, Croc, Sambar, Black buck, spotted deers and Few birds and tortise. Has a kids park & Sitting area. People bring food here to have lunch here. I think this should not be allowed to maintain cleanliness and to make people understand that this place is for education about animals and only about wild animals. No good restaurant nearby zoo nor any restaurant or eateries inside zoo though. So better carry water, but avoid plastic bottles. Entry ticket was Rs.40 for adults and 20 for kids above 5. Parking chgs for 4wheeler is 20. Camera fee is Rs.10. Total time required to see complete zoo is around 2 hours.

Best experience, and best weekend plan for Gadag people. It was to cheap, but more entertaining. Best for family occasions

Small zoo, when we visited zoo was not crowded, no need to book in advance, need to maintain toilet rooms, for family lunch or group lunch they have space, kids play area also available, and drinking water is also available inside the zoo, ticket price is also average not too costly, you feel not tired small and beautiful one. We can finish the round in 2 hours.

Well all i can say is there are actually animals there, which are Lion, Tiger, Cheeta, bear the mains and others except elephants which we didn't see. It's a huge zoo where people mostly were seen coming for picnics. Alot of tamarind across the walkway. Ticket cost was Rs.50 per person The electricity vehicle was Rs. 300/-( which was required i will say because the main animals are kept at the very end). Overall experience was lovely, just that we had only half day to spend otherwise it's a really nice picnic spot.

The Zoo has the potential to be on the lines of the Jayachamarajendra Zoo of Mysore. Good maintenance, requisite training for the staff and some political initiative is required. Saw the animals so close, deers the tiger and lions is a great delight. Recommended for a short trip of one day, children and elders will enjoy equally.

Great place to spend time with friends and family for a day out. Recommend to carry your own food, just like a picnic, there are some nice animals and birds to watch too, like Emilu, Ostriches, Lion, Tigers , Leapords. There is a buggy facility for anyone who struggles with walking too.

It's a lovely place to spend time with family. The zoo is comparatively small but very neat and tidy. People here are very friendly and helpful. There is proper space to park your vehicle. Entry fee is Rs 50/- and parking fee is also Rs 50/-.

There is A animal called chingar. There is clean in village There is solar system in our village Proud to be yadhallian🤘

Good... But infrastructure have to be improved

Good place...good environment

A very well maintained zoo,that is situated in the outskirts of city. The experience of visiting the zoo was amazing.we got to see prominent cats like Tiger,Lion and the likes of leopard also. It also has garden ,where families can spend sometime with their children too. Must visit attraction in Gadag city.

Gadag Binkadakatti has improved over a period of time now. I really appreciate all the sponser's and Forest department to make it a perfect one day picnic spot. Keep it up. For the very first time I saw Ostriches in my life so closely. Thanks for bringing them to Gadag Zoo Unfortunately I couldn't click their pic.

Zoo people has maintained the atmosphere very well. Clean roads connecting all the zone of different animals. Lions , leopard, tiger and blackbucks are favourite of mine here to see. Overall good time spending over here with family. People generally throw sticks and small stones to animals need to be stopped.

Visited on 25th Feb 2022. Was very Dissappointed to see the state of animals and Birds. One of the small Cage had 7 to 8 full grown Kites put up in such a cramped space, they dont have enough space to fly around, it is nothing but cruel (photos attached). Some cages are so small and dirty & smelly, you would take pity on the poor animals in there. The overall zoo landscape is good, laiden with trees.

Good place to visit for a days visit for kids. You can find Tigers, Lions, Leopards, Crocodile, Black Buck, Spotted Deer, many exotic birds. Not much options for eating in zoo, better to carry food and water. Battery operated vehicle available.

childrens will enjoy it a lot, the main attraction of the zoo is tiger leopard and lion, come and visit once with family. (Only the bear is missing, let the zoo bring it as soon as possible)

Nice place to visit for 1 day outing. Zoo is clean and kids will enjoy. The entrance ticket for adults is 50₹, and 30₹ for the children. Toilets are available inside the zoo. No food or eatery inside the zoo, better carry food if you are planning to spend more time.

Superb zoo

Amazing zoo in small village it's not far from city zoo is filled with lots of different varieties of animals birds and stuff it's huge In area very well maintained there are tickets to enter zoo as well as for parking lots of locals plus people from other city visit zoo they have garden there as well for kids to play they have all over tamarind tree compare to big city these zoo is much better clean and tidy and lots of interesting animals to see and you can sit and relax in garden bring your homemade food to zoo and have a lunch with family while kids have fun visit this place when you around the city....

Wonderful zoo in Gadag Dist. Here you can see various types of Animals and Birds. Surrounding nature is very good.

This is perfect picnic spot as they allow to have food inside the zoo and they have kept a space reserved for that.. Tha only thing they should do is to possibly bring variety of species in the zoo.. It is a great place to relax and have a day trip with family..

Nice Zoo in Entire North Karnataka, We The People of North Karnataka Should develop it by Adopting animals and Maintaining Cleanliness, Govt Should Provide More Funds To Develop It..

Good👍

Should expand and keep more animals. But still is a good and beautiful place.

Good

Good place see animals & nature... Kids can play games

Mast

I am waiting for seeing

For variety of animals and birds can give upto 3stars, but no basic amenities like dustbins, throughout the way there is only one toilet which is unhygienic unhealthy. So a long long way to go to meet basic standards

Quite good, but way too crowded on holidays. Best visited on a weekday.

Nice place for kids and all.

Awesome

Dippend upon Mood

Good place to spend some quality time with family. Kids might enjoy watching different animals. You have to carry your own food for convenience. They have zoo shuttle bus which takes you around the zoo. The lion and bird cages are small. They could have made a bigger n better stay area for them. That's the only drawback of this zoo. Overall makes a decent place for picnic.

Good place to visit for a days trip

The Zoo setup has improved a lot with greenery and drinking water facilities. Walking paths are surrounded by tamarind trees that provide shade to the visitors. Inclusion of lions along with tigers & leopards are prime attractions. In between the zoo there is a playing area for children. Battery vehicles are in good condition. It is an additional facility for the elderly visitors. Spacious parking facility. Overall a good experience. But the zoo authorities need to monitor the public activity in the zoo premises, especially near the carnivore area (crocodiles). The pool area needs to be covered by mesh from above. People throw all sort of things to make the crocodiles show out of water. Mischievous people need to be caught and penalized.

Good place,, but less maintenance,, animals are so hunger ,,,, please Maintain animals with time to time food

Quite good for going once or twice. but not exciting/interesting for regular going.

It was nice experience But we couldn't get to see the tiger

Amezing jungle wibe, No words for atmosphere. Just visit and enjoy your day.

Just awesome.....this zoo is very good for every age persons, best for family time ....those who want to take some off from busy days they should must visit this place .....

Gadag-Binkadakatti Zoo. A very well maintained zoo. They have lot of animals now compared to olden days. Love to visit again.

Hotspot of Gadag with all accessibility and comfort, kids friendly. Charges Adults 40₹ Kids 20₹

It's a Small zoo where people mostly were seen coming for picnics. Alot of tamarind across the walkway. We have birds and Animals in zoo but very few kids will enjoy. Ticket cost was Rs.50 per person The electricity vehicle was Rs. 50/- Overall experience was lovely, just that we had only half day to spend otherwise it's a really nice picnic spot.

🤩SO WONDERFUL ZOO 🤩WE LOVED IT❤️🌹

Not bad

No social distancing and no mentainance by authority and normal zoo.

Well maintained , clean zoo. Best place for family outing with children

Nice place and they are doing good job and still building

The visit to the zoo was great and we had an amazing time. The thing what's bothering and distrubing is that the wild animals are not fed properly and it is quite painful to see that. It's an humble request to the care takers and people in authority kindly take required measures to feed the animals.

Best zoo for spending time with family members

Gadag zoo is well maintained. With cleanliness and greenery it looks great. Congrats for the entire team who continuously work for it. Well done

🐯, 🦁, 🐻, variety of birds and snakes, deer's you can see here, kids playing area is also good.. entry price is ranges between 50-70rs and extra pay for bike/ car parking..

Ok place Need to improvement lot

After long time ⌛I am visiting gadag zoo it's a great place and I have never seen before some animals and birds 🐦it's really nice.......

Good place fr kids with nice big zoo also some animals to entertain the kids No food options better to carry n have there

I was quite taken aback when we saw this beautifully, well-maintained zoological park. Many varieties of phesants and Indian birds, spotted deers, sambar deers, blackbucks, hyenas, Indian grey wolves, leopards, tigers and lions were key highlights. Have to give it to the staff, it is beautifully maintained. Great place to take your kids and show them animals. Only problem is people were littering all over the place with their picnic items. Zoo staff should something about it. Restrooms are not clean, can be better. Park fee is very minimal and ample parking space. You would have to pay for the vehicle parking too. It's nominal.

Clean n Cool

Great place for one day vacation.

Parking facility is not proper

A Great Picnic spot. Tuesday is closed. Entry Fee is Rs 50 . Timings 9:30 Am - 5:30 Pm. Parking facility is available. A great picnic spot. Pleasent atmosphere. Greenery is awesome. Nice Place to visit with Family & Friends. Play ground for kids, toilet and water facility. Tigers,leopards,Bear,Crocodiles, Emu,Deers,Jackals etc animals and birds are there in zoo.
