    Rasikbil is a small zoo you can't see everything there like other zoos, but if you go you definitely enjoy it. There you can see tigers(If u are lucky then you can see otherwise they will be in the cage 😂), crocodiles, snakes, peacocks, and many types of birds . Entry price is also low that everyone can visit.

    The zoo is situated in rasik bill area. It is also known as Rasik Bill zoo. One has to buy tickets to enter the zoo, there are parking space for private vehicles. The zoo is spread over a large area where there are separate enclosures for different animals and birds kept in captivity. Gharial, macaw , python, deer, leopard etc are present here.

    It's a Ok place for any new tourist but for not who are zoo hoppers. Except Indian gharial no other animals or birds were found living in their natural habitat. It makes them quite sluggish or inactive. I found many animals like civets, feline families were napping throughout the day time. As there is a saying " There is a scope of upgrading things every time " there is a scope for this zoo also. Though this place is potentially best of Kids. They will simply love it.

    For the first time i visited this mini zoo on 18 th may 2023.. May be this would be my last time... Before visiting, when i heard the word Rashikbil mini zoo,, i am very much excited to visit atleast once in a life... The word zoo itself describe its possessions... But in real life, the scenario was very different it is far away from my expectations. What i see that lot of trees, around 12-13 birds, 15-20 Alligators, 1 fish cat, 2 leopards some 🦌 and 🐒... And for that you have pay 25₹ /person +vehicle parking charges.. Choice is yours.. Delhi ka laddoo, jo khata hai wo pachtata hai. Jo nahi khata wo v pachtata hai 😂😂

    The zoo is actually a part of forest area. It preserves leopards, crocodiles, alligators, deers and various species of birds and reptiles. However, we were not lucky enough to spot leopards and birds species. In addition, the zoo area lacks adequate maintenance.

    I'm shocked. The behavior of some of the guards here is very bad. I was very excited to see zoo, but I had to return with a very bad experience

    If you love to spend time in greens, you should definitely visit Bochamari. There are a lot of deer in the Zoo. Other attractions like alligator, birds are also there. There is a watch tower, a nice bridge and few good sinage of Bochamari for photography. It is good for kids and family picnic. Ticket price is also reasonable.

    Bochamari Eco Park is popularly known as Rasik Bill is a small but beautiful place to visit. It has a variety of animals and birds. It can be a good place to enjoy picnic with friends and family. 10 to 12 years back , these mini zoo had 4-5 leopards, a few ghorials ( a large fish-eating crocodile with a long, narrow snout that widens at the nostrils, native to the Indian subcontinent ), Indian rock python ( a large dark-skinned constricting snake with paler markings and a distinctive pale mark on the crown ), dear, peacock and a wide variety of birds.

  • 3/5 Subrata B. 1 year ago on Google
    A well place specially for kids, to roam around, but bit dissatisfaction in terms of animals and birds only some Gharials are seen & few birds but most of the cages are seen vacant, though the place is have much potential need to take proper initiative to make it a place of attraction for those who are animals, birds and nature lover, still anyone can be there with kids for hopping for few hours...

    Poor sanitary arrangement existed at this area. So it needs improvement to maintain natural beauty and eco-friendly environment.

    You can come to visit this zoo for time pass.Not available much more things to see but not too bad also💕

  • 2/5 Joy t. 1 year ago on Google
    It's an another perfect sign of non development of North Bengal. Lots of scope to develop but it remains same as before. Daily lots of visitors came here but everyone got disappointed. Only vacant cage, no animals. Lots of bikers from near villages moving unnecessarily causing troubles for paid visitors and authorities have no headache for this. People should avoid it otherwise got disappointed.

    Amazing place

  • 2/5 Samrat P. 1 year ago on Google
    Day by day this place deteriorates due to human activities and unscientific ways of maintenance. The Natural & Scenic beauty of Rasikbill is declining. One Suggestion from my side is that kindly ensure the safety and security of tourists/visitors because yesterday I found a branch of young boys sleazing and toning women repeatedly.

    Mini zoo is beautiful but as per ticket price is not worthy. Management should try to increase activities related to visitors fun inside the zoo. There should be a watch tower inside the zoo. Animal numbers are low. Overall cleanness was very good. Adequate staff was there and doing duty generously. It was great experience to visit this place on 1st January 2022.

  • 4/5 Kumar Miladri Shekhar N. 5 years ago on Google
    Nothing too much expect some wild animals like leopard, deer, ghoriyal, paithon, peacock some birds... The place is not decorated yet.. It's messy at all..

  • 3/5 Kamal R. 4 years ago on Google
    A place of serenity.Good place for a weekend program with children.Fooding and toilet facilities are insufficient.There is a night stay facility available beside the lake, maintained by forest department of West Bengal. Accommodation chage for a double beded room without a/c and fooding is most probably 1350/- as of 2019.Food service is available with extra charge as per your requirement.Electricity and generator backup is also available. As this spot is situated near state hige way hence day time communication is good.
