    Place is located inside Veer Jijamat Udyan. Place welcome us with moving Dinosaur which is quite interesting for childrens. It is fully Air conditioned place. Total 6 penguins are there. They are baby penguins. First time I saw penguins it was exciting. Arrangements made for them are normal not excellent construction of same is ok. Must visit place when Rani Baugh get operational after renewals as both places can be seen in one visit... Entry charges are nominal.

    A calm and pleasant please to visit in heart of the city. The zoo is currently under renovation with only a few animals and birds for display . It does have quite a lot of trees, The penguins are wonderful and active. Not much animals currently, Currently on display are : elephant, spotted deer, sambar, neel gai, hippopotamus, few birds, turtles, that's it. So don't visit with too much expectations on variety of animals . They have started a shop inside the park, that serves, popcorn, flavoured milk. They have also started a child care space.that is clean, fresh and hygenic. A must visit with kids.

    A very good experience in the penguin park. Kids really enjoy. Well maintained air conditioned place and queue based system which is a good initiative. For first time visitor finding the penguin park is like a treasure hunt because of lack of proper signages.

    This is the only park where you can see penguins in India. So get your kids to see these lovely playfull small birds whoch can swim and walk too! There is a 1 min orientation by the team before you enter the room which will inform about the 🐧 and there different varieties around the world. Zoo fees include this park entrance also. One star less as you dont get to see them for too long. If its weekend you just get 60 seconds to enjoy.

    Cute Penguins enchanting you and your family which was a rare and unique view in India. It was properly maintained with enough security having CCTV and no photography was allowed.When we visited it was feeding time and they were brought in discipline by the guide as if saluting you in perfect attention mood.. Noticed the exciting Penguins who were not able to swallow the food easily. The cool environment and the unique structure and colour of the enclave added beauty. There were facilities for drinking water and toilet. Better to visit early to avoid rush. Need more signage to this beautiful enclave location.

  • 3/5 Sameer P. 5 years ago on Google
    Staff doesn't let you stop you here for more than 5 min. Penguins are too good but the more stuff here needs to be added. The building is huge and must have an aquarium

  • 4/5 Moiz M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice and one of the place of attraction in whole zoo. A high maintenance on a daily basis. Kuddos to staffs and labours who keeps it clean and fresh for their customers.
