    Though kanpur zoo doesn't have very wide variety of animals but it is well maintained, clean and full of greenery. Entry ticket for adult is 70 Rs. per person. For families, it's a perfect destination to spend some quality time. Various food outlets are there just 400-500 meters far from the entry gate. You can get variety of food options with decent pricing.For those, who love cycling can rent a cycle at the entry gate itself by paying fixed cycle rental. Only digital payment is accepted there. Remember, that cycle rental is additional of entry ticket cost. Birds are decent in numbers. Crocodile, alligators, hippo, monkeys, zebra, royal Bengal tiger, lion, bear,fish aquarium, snakes, peacocks etc etc are available there.For them, who wish to have a glimpse of entire zoo with less efforts can buy toy train tickets as well. Overall a good place to spend time with your friends and family.

    Kanpur zoo is a wonderful place for a family or friends trip. It has mostly all the animals and in a fair and clean manner. The area of zoological garden is quite large with many good quality food options. There are cycles to rent as well. The parking facility at zoo os good as well. The ticket price for adults is Rs.70 per adult. The major attractions are Lion, Tiger ,and leopards undoubtedly. Rest tune in for the pictures to see glimpse of the inside area.

    It's a zoolocal park, with lots of possibilities to become better. There are many services like cycle for viewing and toy train which have been stopped. Some animals look in bad condition. Lots of cleaning is also required as plastic waste is littered in many places. Canteens inside charge you very much for normal food items. Many information boards are broken and have not been fixed.Overall facilities are not good.

    One of the largest zoo in India in respect of area but the animal count is very less. The animals are situated in very big area therefore you need lot of time to explore the place. Negative points- There is no giraffe here. Battery operated vehicles are also very less. Many big cages have only one animals and that too are very difficult to spot. Kids train is also not running. For many years I have seen only one zebra in the zoo. No elephants No chimpanzee

    It is the best zoo in India. It is also called Asia's largest zoo. It has all kinds of animals, many types of snakes are also present here. This is the first time I see many animals. I was surprised to see the white tiger. The beautiful white peacock is also here. Many people come here to visit not only from India but also from abroad. College students come here for research. I went here with my brothers very nice. Where hundreds of people come every day. it is too big. The atmosphere here is also very attractive. Dinosaur sculptures add to the beauty of the zoo. There is also a park for children.

    Excellent place for outing. Almost all animals are available except for some like giraffe, chimpanzee and white tiger. Plastic bags are not allowed inside so please dont take these with you . You can take your bags inside and no one is checking what's inside so you can take your lunch and water bottle, but please if they are trusting you by not checking your bags so its your duty to not litter here n there. If you are planning to go there then you should have atleast 3-4 hours in your pocket then only you will enjoy the whole zoo. 🙂

    (Translated by Google) Opened in 1971, the zoo is one of the best zoos in India. It is the third largest zoo in India in terms of area. It is located in Kanpur city. There are about 1250 fauna here. This zoo is a great place to spend some time as a picnite and see the fauna. Sir Allen, a member of the British Indian Civil Service, wanted to open this zoo in the natural forests spread here, but his plan could not land on the British era. When this zoo was opened by the Government of India in 1971, it was named after him. Its construction took 2 years and it was opened to the general public on 4 February 1974. The first animal here was Udbilav which came from Chambal Valley. (Original) 1971 में खुला यह चिड़ियाघर भारत के सर्वोत्तम चिड़ियाघरों में एक है। क्षेत्रफल की दृष्टि से यह भारत का तीसरा सबसे बड़ा चिड़ियाघर है। यह कानपुर शहर में स्थित है। यहाँ पर लगभग 1250 जीव-जंतु है। कुछ समय पिकनिट के तौर पर बिताने और जीव-जंतुओं को देखने के लिए यह चिड़ियाघर एक बेहतरीन जगह है। ब्रिटिश इंडियन सिविल सर्विस के सदस्य सर एलेन यहाँ पर फैले प्राकृतिक जंगलों में यह चिड़ियाघर खोलना चाहते थे पर ब्रिटिश काल में उनकी यह योजना जमीन पर नहीं उतर सकी। जब यह चिड़ियाघर भारत सरकार द्वारा 1971 में खोला गया तो इसका नाम उन्हीं के नाम पर रखा गया। इसके निर्माण कार्य में २ वर्ष लगे और यह आम लोगो के लिए 4 फ़रवरी 1974 को खोला गया। यहाँ का पहला जानवर उद्बीलाव था जो की चम्बल घाटी से आया था.

    It's a good place for spending time with your friends and family or you can go solo. You can hire bicycle from the entrance at a minimum rate for one hour or you can hire a electric cart for experiencing the zoo. Also you can have snacks in the mid of zoo at zoo canteen.

    This place is best to go with family/friends. You could get to know the habitat of every animal and every bird present here. Many species of birds, snakes, butterflies and fish are kept inside the zoo. Rare animals such as black buck, rhino, white tiger are also there. Takes nearly 5 hours if you wish to see every animal/bird. Beware of the monkeys as they roam freely inside the zoo. Best time to visit is October/February. Entry fees Rs.60 on weekends. Battery Car and Small Train which roams in and around the jungle is available

    Kanpur Zoological Park or Allen Forest Zoo (Hindi: कानपुर चिड़ियाघर / कानपुर प्राणी उद्यान), also called the Kanpur Zoo is a 76.56-hectare (189.2-acre) zoo in Kanpur, a large city in Northern India. It is the largest open green space in Kanpur and the largest zoological park in North India. Originally a natural habitat for fauna, it is one of the few zoos in India created in a natural forest. The animals inhabited in the Zoological Park have been put in open and moated enclosures. The moated enclosures give the animal ample space for movement and help in expressing their biological and physiological expressions.

    It could be better place for children's and students. No proper signage board. No body from staffs who can help and show direction to different places of animals were available. Even animals are not there. They are charging high ticket rates. It is one of the oldest zoo in India. Once it was very nice zoo 20 years go. However, there are lots of fun activities are available with a price in the zoo. I have clicked some pics. Thanks I will recommend one can go once and decide on your own.

    It is a very good place to spend time with family and friends. When you visit here,then only you feel the experience. Many different types of Species animal are kept to visit and some also for care. Zoo covered very large area of capacity. If you are young then you visit all the places by walking and enjoying. But if you visited here by any older person then you have to book electric car,which is available here. Here you got Fish aquarium and Snake House to visit. In snake house you see many types of snakes. Over through,it is best place. You have to visit here. Come with you children they enjoy more and this thing increase his knowledge also, because your child see all the things by his eyes originally. So please visit.

    It's a fine place to go out for a picnic with family and friends, There is a variety of animal and birds , the place is totally relaxing , Even if you are a lover of forest then you may give it a try, because this zoological park in kanpur city is covering a large area full of trees, greenery and birds . There are enough food stalls to satisfy your hunger , A big size aquarium is also there, a big home for vultures, snakes, lion, tiger and dozens of panthers . Overall it's a wonderful package that is really in your budget.

    A Very Good place to see wild animals & nature in the city. Anyone can take the whole family with them & ride on feet if can't then take train or bicycle (available within the zoo just train is not working due to COVID restrictions) if possible as well available. Some of the cages were empty. Ticket is about 70/- for an adult currently on Sunday. If you are in a group then plan a mini picnic & grab all the stuffs for that but do not use polythene or litter within the sanctuary.

    I recently visited Kanpur Zoological Park, also known as Allen Forest Zoo, and I have mixed feelings about the experience. While it has the potential to be a great place for children and students, there were several drawbacks that left me disappointed. Firstly, the lack of proper signage boards was a major inconvenience. It was difficult to navigate through the park and find the different areas for animals. There was no staff available to assist or provide directions, which added to the confusion. Furthermore, I was disappointed to find that many of the animals were not present. It was disheartening to see empty enclosures and limited variety. Considering the high ticket rates they charge, I expected a more fulfilling experience. On a positive note, the zoo does offer a range of fun activities, albeit at an additional cost. These activities can enhance the experience, especially for children. I managed to capture some memorable moments through my camera lens, which was a silver lining in an otherwise underwhelming visit. Despite the drawbacks, I would recommend visiting Kanpur Zoological Park at least once to form your own opinion. It is one of the oldest zoos in India, and while it may not live up to its former glory, it can still provide a decent weekend outing for families, especially those with young children. Just remember to plan your visit wisely, avoiding peak hours and being cautious with your food, as the mischievous monkeys are always on the lookout for a snack.

    Kanpur zoo is an excellent place to visit. It is quite large and one needs around 3 hrs for exploring. The zoo has a wide variety of animals and if one get tired, you can stop for a few minutes at benches placed at different places. In addition there is children's park for their entertainment, restaurants located from place to place for occasional hunger. Overall it's an excellent place for a day's entertainment. It is closed on Mondays.

    Nice place to have a picnic with friends and family. There are multiple places to sit, eat and chat. The place is big and full of attractions, yet the number of animals has decreased over the time. You can take food items with you inside just be sure not to carry any polythene with you. Carry a bagpack or cloth bag.

    Kanpur zoo is a good place to enjoy. Beautiful place in Kanpur that loves and respects wildlife and wild animals, Little is disappointed that I cannot see the giraffe when I travel because no giraffe is available at the zoo especially at that particular time . But still I see a lot of animals here, such as birds, swans of different species, rhinos, hippos, elephants, white tigers, Bengal tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, hyenas, deer, zebras and many more. An aquarium is also available in this zoo when you can see different fish species. Butterfly Park is also available but it was closed on a particular day which could be a maintenance issue, as well as a toy train from where you can travel to the entire zoo in a few minutes. Beautifully done all this, whenever one should go to Kanpur for holiday then it is simply amazing. You go to zoooo......

    Variety of animals is less due to post corona effect. Come in early hours and watch animals for long time. Take a tour to Snake and let your kids learn about poisonous and non poisonous variety. Have a walk don't take cycle or battery ricksaw. Look trees also apart from animals or birds.

    Biodiversity can't be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that.😊 It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone.😑

One of the few excellent locations to have quality time with your family is here. decent location for bird photography. Upon entering, there is a play area for children. There is a little jungle safari. Overall, a pleasant day of vacation.

    Great place. You will find the zoo really clean and well maintained, there are a few shops both inside and outside. The zoo is quite big so i recommed booking a buggy in advance - extremely worth it. The zoo has nearly all the animals - highly recommend a visit or a family picnic.

    Kanpur Zoo is a very nice and neat and clean place. Everywhere you look is nature. There are a lot of amenities and things to look at. Sad to see that the toy train is not open anymore, would have been much better with the toy train. There are some places that require maintenance so that it still holds its charm. Overall a great place to visit with family and kids.

    Amidst vibrant exhibits, I marveled at the majestic lions' regal presence, felt the gentle nudge of a zebras velvety nose during feeding, and reveled in the playful antics of mischievous monkeys swinging from branch to branch. The zoo's immersive atmosphere turned a day into a captivating adventure, etching joyful memories that lingered long after the visit.

    Kanpur zoo is a very good place to spend time with friends and family you can almost spend your company day there. There are also some new things that are open in the zoo like cycle rent, a fish spa and a body massage area. The bad thing is that the toy train is now not running but a new e car facility is given by the zoo for old people.

    Amazing variety of animals. Made within part of and old forest (named Allen Forest), it is a lovely outing for the family. Probably the only place in Kanpur where one can walk in a woods. The aquarium at the end was nothing great. All in all, one of the most underrated places on Kanpur. Would be great to see more upkeep, and more private sponsorships flow in. Mr. Singh and his team are doing a good job

    This is the coolest place in kanpur to visit. In a city which is full of traffic and pollution. Here you will get the pollution free environment and wild animals which is full of worth satisfying. I recommend you must visit once when you get chance

    Kanpur zoo is a best place to spend time if you are animal lover... It's a neat and clean place ,and this zoo has ample varieties of animals.. Here you can see tigers, hippopotamus,elephant, Neelgay, different types of birds, snakes fishes, crocodiles, zebra and many many more species... It take almost 3-4 hours to see every corner of the zoo.... For old age people, there are paid electric vehicles to explore the beauty of nature....

    I visited this place twice when I was a kid. I had a lot of fun here. Going here always makes me feel good and makes me remember my childhood. Earlier the number of animals here was good and the place was also well maintained but now due to lack of care the number has decreased and the fun has also reduced. Though the zoo people have started new facilities like toy train etc to attract more children.

    This is a very beautiful lake inside the Kanpur Zoo.Most of this lake falls under the restricted area, so the audience is allowed to go to a certain area.You can also see a variety of birds in this lake.The thing to keep in mind is that the crocodiles are also found in this lake, The thing to keep in mind is that crocodiles are also found in this lake, so be careful and keep children away.In the summer, this lake is dried and there is very little water, hence the appropriate time for this lake's sight is from July to February.Winter time is more suitable to go here, because one does not look like heat; many foreign birds come here for the migration to the other side.Within the city of Kanpur, it is quite pleasant to have such a big lake. It is important that more and more such places should be protected,There is also a good place for photography enthusiasts, and you will find many such scenes here that you would like to capture in your camera

    Cleanliness is the biggest problem in UP which can be seen in their zoo also, there are variety of animals and birds but cleanliness will fade their USP. If we keep cleanliness aside then it’s a decent zoo u will see variety of snakes birds animal repatiles and with some green area in kanpur.

    Kanpur Zoological park also known as Allen Forest is an amazing place to be with your family for a picnic. In recent time the management has done an amazing work of making the zoo clean. You will not find garbage lying everywhere as it used to be few years back. For those who are planning to give it a visit, be careful to not take polythene bags to to zoo as the security will not allow you to carry it into the premise. Though you can carry the food items inside but try to pack them in paper bags. Kids train along with Caddy service are also available within the zoo to add on to the thrill. You will also finds small adventure parks within the zoo where you can enjoy, but you will have to buy additional ticket for that.. I will recommend you to give it a visit if you have never been there or you haven't visited for a long time as you will surely feel a change.....

    Kids love this place while adults re-live the memories ❤️ Green place fun of beautiful views! This is one of few great places to spend good time with your family in budget especially if you have kids. Kids would surely love to go and see different animals there. It's highly recommended to visit the park at earliest as most animals will be active. As time progresses animals tend to be inside the den/cage or rest under shelters.

    Very nice 👍👍👍 Loved it 😄😄 Good place to visit with your family and kids. Ticket *70*Rs, and for kids *35* Rs. But do remember as you have to walk through out your visit so better you hire bicycle at the entry. They normally charges *40*Rs per hour. Toy train is also inside the zoo, you can enjoy it . Fish house is also there where lots of fish aquarium has been kept. Entry in zoo start @ 9 O'clock morning so try to come early to enjoy more because it is in a very large area. Several eating outlets are also inside the premises no need to worry. But it would be better if you pack your lunch and enjoy it in park along with family. Overall it's an outstanding zoo with all facilities. Thanks to the management. Good 👍👍😊

    This zoo is a fantastic place to spend time with family. The zoo is kept very neat and clean by the zoo authorities and they deserve an accolade for their good work. One can see the animals mostly in their natural habitat in only this zoo, this is a unique zoo in the entire country. It is full of natural flora and fauna. A lot of birds and peacocks can be spotted in the zoo. The great Asiatic lion, rhinoceros,zebra and crocodiles are the treasure here. The train ride in the zoo is panaromic and takes you through variety of animals. This is must when you are in zoo. And a request to be responsible while you are there and do not litter. It spoils the fun when u visit and see the litter all around. This is our place so we must keep it clean.

    Kanpur Zoological Park, Kanpur is one of the oldest Zoological Park of india. It has been established and opened for the public on 4th february, 1974. The area of the Zoological Park is about 76.56 ha. It is established in a manmade forest. The terrain of the park is undulating and resembles a high forest. It is one of those Zoological Park which have been built on modern Zoo building principles. The animals inhabited in the Zoological Park have been put in open and moated enclosures. The moated enclosures give the animal ample space for movement and help in expressing their biological and physiological expressions. The enclosures are screened by terrain in such a way that one enclosure is not visible from the other. Thus the animals inhabiting the enclosures do not feel undue psychological pressure of the animals of adjoining enclosures. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Also known as the Allen Forest Zoo, this 76.56-hectare zoo in Kanpur is the largest in all Northern India. Created in a natural forest, this zoo keeps its animals in open or moated enclosures, giving them enough space for expressing their innate biological and physical expressions.

  • 5/5 Nidhi T. 5 years ago on Google
    Wonderful zoo, well maintained. Neat and clean space for each and every animal. Winter is the best season to go bcoj it’s in huge area and you have to walk around a lot. Very good train ride service with good stops to enjoy things. You can also enjoy some music while enjoying ur train ride.

    If you examine closely you will find that it is indeed a zoological park not a zoo. It's quite big. Trolley car/toy train service available. Canteen available. Lot of monkeys roaming around. Parking available. Less crowdy.

    Kanpur zoological park is full-day place of interest and best place for family outing. The area of zoo is too big so if you are planning to visit with toddlers and child or old age family members please get electric cart inside the zoo which is in budget and save your time. It will take approximately min 1.30 hrs to visit the zoo. The facility are available every inside the so no worry about drinking water and toilets. Most important be aware or monkey if you are eating inside the zoo. You really enjoy the zoo.

    (Translated by Google) There is a very beautiful zoo. All kinds of animals will be found here. Birds and snakes are made of concrete of dinosaurs. Fish house is the center of attraction here. In which all kinds of fish will be found The ticket was 40-50 rupees, it may have gone up earlier. There are also bike car parking facilities outside. There is also facility of foot, battery vehicle or toy train. Must come once, including family. There is also a minus point, some lovers come and make this park uncomfortable. Management should put cameras in such places so that the family can enjoy with the children. 4 (Original) बहुत ही खूबसूरत चिड़ियाघर है। सभी तरह के जानवर मिलजाएगे यहा पर। पक्षी और सांप , डायनासोर के कंक्रीट के पुतले बने है । यहाँ का सबसे ज्यादा आकर्षण का केंद्र है फिश हाउस जिसमे सभी तरह की मछलियां मिल जाएगी देखने को 40-50 रुपये था टिकेट पहले अब बढ़ गया होगा शायद। बाहर बाइक कार पार्किंग की सुविधाएं भी है। अन्दर पैदल, बैटरी वाले वाहन या टॉय ट्रेन की सुविधा भी है । एक बार जरूर परिवार सहित आये। एक माइनस पॉइंट भी है कुछ प्रेमी जोड़े आकर इस पार्क को असहज बना देते है मैनेजमेंट को कैमरे लगा देने चाहिए ऐसी जगहों पर ताकी फैमिली एन्जॉय कर सके बच्चों के साथ। 🙏🙏🙏

    Just a park for which we pay to get tired. Very less animals. Even it's good, animals could not be kept in cage. Machli Ghar closed, No Lights in Snake House. Nothing there to enjoy there for family. Entry fees also increased to more than double - Rs. 70 for Adult & Rs. 35 for Kids. Better to watch Zoo virtually.

    This zoo is now developed but animals are not much as it was 10 years back . Now you can rent out cycle, electric vehicle to see the zoo. Also toy train is there. Two new places added one for butterfly and one for snakes . Ticket is costly now , it is costing 70₹. If you want to visit , then choose any day between Tuesday to Friday as weekends are crowded .

  • 5/5 vaibhav t. 2 years ago on Google
    You can find almost every animal and information related to them. A perfect place to spent time with your family and friends. Toy train is best attraction for childrens and cycles are also there if anyone loves cycling. I will suggest to come up with full day time to reach every corner of zoo.

  • 5/5 M Z S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to visit with your family and kids. Ticket 70Rs, and for kids 35 Rs. But do remember as you have to walk through out your visit so better you hire bicycle at the entry. They normally charges 40Rs per hour. Toy train is also inside the zoo, you can enjoy it . Machli ghar is also there where lots of fish aquarium has been kept. Entry in zoo start @ 9 O'clock morning so try to come early to enjoy more because it is in a very large area. Several eating outlets are also inside the premises no need to worry. But it would be better if you pack your lunch and enjoy it in park along with family. Overall it's an outstanding zoo with all facilities. Thanks to the management.

  • 3/5 Meghna M. 11 months ago on Google
    You can go to zoo for a normal picnic and rest otherwise there isn’t much to explore. The animals are there and some aren’t. The train doesn’t run. There are washrooms but not clean and for activities they have zipline and few others. If you’re real adventurous person, it’s not for you. It is for kids. They need to maintain the zoo and spend some money for animals. Going one time is enough.

    I was very saddened by the conditions of these magnificent creatures, i went there after almost 6-7 years and the condition was not at all what I was expecting. The mini train is not working, there was so much excitement when I visited there but it instantly vanished when I saw the condition of the zoo.

    Kanpur Zoo is a fantastic place to connect with nature and wildlife. The diverse range of animals and well-maintained enclosures make it an enjoyable experience for all ages. It's not just a zoo; it's an educational and fun adventure. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and the overall cleanliness and greenery add to the charm. A must-visit attraction in Kanpur!

  • 5/5 Sameer Kumar G. 5 months ago on Google
    Probably the best place for nature enthusiasts in Kanpur city, what I like most about it is the lush greenery that surrounds the park. The zoo is part of the Allen Forest, featuring a lake that is a center of attraction for birders and nature enthusiasts. The lake has a significant fishing population, making it an ideal spot for water birds. However, it's not open to the public due to the presence of crocodiles. The lake becomes more famous during winters when migratory birds arrive. Not many of us know that only one half of the zoo is open to the public, featuring open and moated enclosures for animals. The other half is still a forest, accessible only with a guide for exploration, and it's often closed for safety reasons. The zoo currently houses Royal Bengal Tigers, Lions, Leopards, Zebras, Hippopotamuses, Rhinoceroses, Himalayan and Sloth Bears, an aviary section, an aquarium, a reptile section, and various species of antelopes. The park also boasts a Toy Train and an adventure park for children. Note: Zoo is closed on Monday

    I went with my friends ,it was worth it ,I have been there in my childhood ,it has changed a lot now .It is clean .Make sure if you are coming from college ,they won't let you enter wearing college dress or anything related to college in your bag.You can buy food and stuff inside the zoo .Reptile house is closed in winter season.But there are few new animals added there such as( ostrich and white tiger) which they haven't opened yet but I have seen them 😍😍...

    not good enough as a zoo, very few animals and other things like train and swings not working. One good things is the way it is build to see the ducks, peacocks is very good you can see them very closely. You can also see leopard from very close but I found this not good and it's dangerous
