    There is a time once when people from different states and countries used to come here to see varieties of "Species of Animals, Birds and Aquatic Species" but now the workers of park didn't care about the animals health and also for their infant. "Do you know every year the Tiger of this zoo giving birth maximum 3-4 cubs" but due to maintenance workers CARELESSNESS all kids were die. Yes for one reason you can visit it and also you will like it for sure, "It's became a LOVERS MEETING POINT now Yes! you heard right" where new or who are happy with their partner😅(you know what I mean) used to come. Most of them come here generally for this purpose. Now at last I wanted to state you Honestly, Zoo Workers only care about #MONEY! (If I helped you, you can THANKS me by giving my review a 👍Thanks to u too for your precious time🙏)

    Nehru Zoological Park in Bokaro is a wonderful destination for a relaxing day out with friends, family, or your significant other. With an affordable ticket price of just ₹20 per adult and ₹10 per child (below 6 years), it's accessible for all. The park is closed on Mondays. One unique feature is the cashless payment system, with only POS and UPI accepted. This ensures convenience and safety. The park itself is beautifully maintained, providing a peaceful and enjoyable experience. Nehru Zoological Park is indeed a nice place to spend quality time with loved ones.

    A small zoo to visit with kids and family. A ticket fee is charged of Rs 20. There is a toy train as well. Can spent 2 hrs at max comfortably inside. Icecream, golgappe, bhature is sold outside.

    No maintenance from SAIL India has led this place to lose all it had. Very less animals. No lions 🦁 no tigers 🐯 no bear 🐻, no crocs, few birds, deer, monkeys, python and you are done. The aquarium also has been shut-down. The beer fences are broken. Few more also are down. An abominable lull all around. If you have been there before and will visit now, you will be heart broken. Yes, there are a lot of trees. But no maintenance has had its full toll on this old heaven.

    The condition of this zoo is getting bad to worse. Not maintained Apart from Leopard and Hippopotamus, a Tiger no major attraction. No Elephant, No giraffe, No Lion, no crocodile, no Bear Ek samay ye bokaro ki shaan thi... Par ab nhi.. Condition of this zoo is pathetic, cages are aged, not maintained properly. No basic facilities available If you really want to see animals visit Brisa Zoological Park Ormanjhi (Ranchi) Now a days children are loosing intrest in visiting zoos, Govt should do initiative in bringing back the visitor. Location 2km from heart of Bokaro (City Centre) Entry Fee Rs 20/- (Booking online) No food allowed inside

    The area was clean and well maintained. Yet you can expect a bit wide range on wild animals there, but didn't go with the expectations. Although there were enough to cherish your day with your friends with memories. Good day indeed.

    Indeed a botenical park is a great pride of Bokaro Steel City. It is located in the heart of city near Jaggernath Temple, Sector #4. Here garden is filled with a number of flowers & fauna. Many types of wild animals and birds are available here. A very nominal entry fee is charged to visit the park. Vehicle parking is also available.

    This is the only place where I can't be bore by going again and again. More then 50 times I have been gone here. I had seen all the things to be changed. Earlier there was numbers of different types of animals but now only few kinds are left. At the entrance there is a board in which some instructions are written for us and also the uses of forest. There is a beautiful and long statue of our first Prime minister of India i.e; Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. And then there is two giraffes made up of grass. The garden is very beautiful. Number of roses are there but we are not allowed to go inside the garden. There is also a big toy train which runs inside the park only. There is also one room where a lots of kind of fishes are there and also tortoise. There is also swings for kids and other playing things. I love this place.

    Nice area developed like mini forest or garden. There are fewer animals and birds as compared to other zoos. The area needs better maintenance. Even the toy train is not working. Still good for kids to visit during vacation or holidays

    It's a good break and if u need some time with your family or friends and be in the midst of greenery, cool breeze, pure and fresh air...not much of animals or birds to watch for ...the zoo is not kept properly and SAIL management should either hand it over or invest little bit more to make it more attractive..it can also be a very good educational tour for botanical and zoology students .

    One time visit place. There is not much to see. Very unhygienic park. Cages were damaged. This park needs maintenance. There were swings for children but most of them were broken. Like all the other parks Indian adults/couples have made this another lover's point. Animals you can see here are- 2 tigers, 1 hippo , 2 ajgar , 2 bear, couple of peacocks, 2 ostrich and a lot of deers. And some monkeys. Most of the animals are not well. # after roaming here you can visit jagannath temple, which is located opposite this park. I wish there were more animals but what can you expect from this poorly maintained park. There were hundreds of snake bills, be careful with your children. There is a paid parking area. And outside of this you can have icecream stalls and puchka stalls. Cleanliness ⭐⭐ Swings ⭐⭐ Animals ⭐⭐ Maintanence⭐ Experience⭐⭐✌️ #bokaro #zoo #jharkhand.

  • 4/5 Nilesh S. 7 years ago on Google
    There was a time in our childhood when in every vacation or on every family trip we used to go there. But recently when I had been there with my brother, we saw a lot of changes. Lack of proper maintenance and no more addition in animals has deteriorated the number of visitors significantly. But, since, we have some pretty goods memories of our lives associated with this place, so we still hope that one day, this place will again have the charm and beauty it once had. Therefore, I am posting the pics that still depict the better side of this zoo.

    Clean neat..all green.tickets cost only rs 10 for adults and kids RS 5 As I m fan of green surrounding I liked it. Many animals were not there as expected. But it's good. Train in not so good conditions. Same goes with aquarium. But overall it's good to roam in good weather conditions. Can't take food items inside. But take water n cold drink. Don't forget to eat outside the zoo area. Lots of space for kids to play.

    A decade ago things have been so different. This place used to be so green and lively with full of animals in the zoo. But now it's hardly maintained. No animals to display. There is no lion anymore in the zoo. It needs to be revamped.

    A decent biological park for a small town like Bokaro. Area near entrance is well maintained but once you go deeper, you can expect a better maintenance. There are only few animals like leopards, bear, black bucks, hippopotamus, monkeys and birds. We went on a Sunday and it was not crowded. Swings in kids play area were most crowded. Few hazards like live open fuse sockets need to be fixed. Good place to spend a lazy afternoon but don’t keep your expectations high

    The 3% surface gradient of Steel Township lacks in maintenance in terms of cleanliness, water facilities, animal cages, cctv cameras, guards. Also losing its importance due to absence of animals of big cat categories like white tiger, Asiatic lions etc. 3-Stars: For what it still has including beers, leopards, monkey, snakes, birds, deers, fishes etc.

  • 1/5 shankesh s. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is horribly maintained and no reason to go there. I went there at least after a decade to only find lesser animals and more junkyard kind of feeling. The most stupid thing is that the entrance fee of 5 bucks can be paid only through cards, no cash at all. The aquarium section has another entry fee and there is nothing at all to see. Better they should close it down and shift the animals to Patna zoo.

    You need to get rs 20 ticket for the entry and if you have vehicle then you need pay for parking 🅿 too. Nice place to visit with family and friends Quite and awesome. This place is very old 🐘🐼🐯 zoo and i found there is less maintenance happening so if you think that you will see and tiger 🐯 or 🦒 giraffe than you are wrong. You cant bring the outside food 🍲. And there is no hotel available inside the park. Gardening is good but needed more maintenance and government should look into it and make this place as good as it was previously and make some food court inside the park too.

  • 3/5 Granth G. 10 months ago on Google
    I visited the zoo with my family last weekend and I was disappointed by the experience. The zoo was poorly maintained and had very few animals to see. Most of the cages were empty or had only some birds in them. There was no sign of any lions, tigers, elephants, or other exotic animals that you would expect to see in a zoo. The birds were also not very interesting, mostly pigeons and crows. The only attraction that was somewhat enjoyable was the aquarium, which had some colorful fish and turtles. However, the water was murky and the glass was dirty, so it was hard to see them clearly. The zoo also lacked any facilities for visitors, such as restrooms, cafes, or souvenir shops. There was no shade or seating area to relax and enjoy the view. The staff was rude and unhelpful, and did not seem to care about the animals or the guests. The tickets were expensive and not worth the money. I would not recommend this zoo to anyone who wants to have a fun and educational day out with their family. It is a waste of time and resources. This place could be better if the people would complain about it.

    Park was so so in term of size and diversity in bokaro steel city. With limited animals but the palce is quite fun indeed.There is a separate place for kid zone also for playing or swinging. You can visit this place in weekend for hangouts and all. All you have pay for 20 rupees for this per person. Overall nice place for weekends or public holiday.

  • 1/5 Aniket Suhas E. 3 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    Less zoo and more of a park. Leopards and bears are the only eye catcher and few birds still left. Monkeys inside and outside the cage. Dumb people throw stones and put sticks to provoke animals.Fish aquarium started again after a long time in zoo. Needs good renovation and care.

    Established in the 1980s, the zoological park became famous for its rare collection of big cats such as White Tigers and Asiatic Lions but due to lack of adequate infrastructure some of them had to be moved to zoos in other parts of the world. Situated around 12 km from the city centre stablished in the 1980s and it is situated 2km from the city centre. The zoo houses many amazing species of animals and plants and is a truly fascinating place to visit for adults and children alike. It also has a toy train and boating facility available in its artificial lake.

    Well I would say.. I have mixed feeling... A very strong nostalgia of yesteryears when the city was booming... And zoo was filled with animals... I would say it has shrunked significantly in terms of aquarium, lions, bears missing... However I would say it's chicken-egg.. More ppl go.. More it will become good. But certainly must go despite all reviews.. No way to skip if u visit bksc.. Major attraction is hypo,python,white tiger, leopards, toy train along with other animals n birds followed by some very humble eating joints.. . Nearby is Jagannath temple another good attraction. So just hang around for a while with children for 2/3 hrs visit n do give feed back to SAIL officials for improvement.. Enjoy!!

    An old and a nice place to spend a few hours within its boundaries. Within quite some years, it has developed a lot. Even varieties of Lions, Tigers and Rhinos within. Grass lawns here and there to relax. Just take care that you don't throw around plastic waste and food litter here and there lest some caretakers around may say something. Even the Jharkhand State Tourism lists this as one of the sites in its domains.

    Nice park where you will be able to view variety of flora and fauna ( plants and animals). Clean , well maintained and hygienic place to visit with family and friends by any means of transportation. I recommend you visit whenever you are in Bokaro City, Jharkhand.

    Well the Place is good to visit with Friends and families, Entry fee is ₹ 20 and for Children ₹ 10. There is no proper washroom for adults. Also, Tiger have been shifted to Ranchi.

    I will not say as much as I thought because there were not many animals here, it was told that there will be many animals but nothing like what I thought. Carry your card with you if you want to go to this park.

    The zoo is in a dismal state, very few birds/animals to see. The star attraction is a pair of lepords. There are no tigers/bears and the aquarium is also closed. The toy train is not functional either. Please avoid if possible.

    It's a good park for local people. You have to buy tickets using UPI. Cash option for ticket is noy available. Parking is also available but paid. The park closes at 5 P. M. Monday is weekly off. You can also enjoy train in the park but for this come on weekends or festival. Fish house is there. A local food available in the park. Good numbers of animals are there. Also different animals with lion is the main source of attraction. Take kids and show them the real animals which they see in books and sensitive them with the nature . So that the true spirit of making such parks can be fulfilled. Thank you

    The zoo was clean and moderately maintained, and they only accepted cashless payments. The entry fee to the park was Rs. 20, and there was also a fee for parking your vehicle. However, there were only a few animals in the park, mainly peacocks and deer. The park needs more animal species and better maintenance. The gardening was good, but it needs more care. It would be great if the government could add a food court to the park, but you can't bring your own food, and there are no hotels inside the park.

    This place used to be a very attractive place long time ago but now everything has changed. No maintenance, no restaurant or shops inside for even water. You will find animals roaming here and there out of the cage in the zoo.

  • 4/5 Abhiruk C. 11 months ago on Google
    Fun and interesting place to visit with your loved ones. There are lots of animals, birds and fishes to to see. Although, maintenance further inside the park is not that great, but it still a great place to spend your time! Recommended...

    Poor place very dirty. The animals are not in a good status. My partner got kicked by a Langur that escaped from the cage. The visitors should be protected. They should add more security and more cleaning staff. I have been greatly traumatized and I hope it never happens to another person.

  • 3/5 Ayush 7 months ago on Google
    Why am I rating it a 3★? So hear me out ,this place is okay okay to visit on weekends because most of the cages are empty and no idea where the animals went. Only rare animals you're going to see are bear ,hippo ,leopard , deers ,a single python and other birds and monkeys as well. There's a cage for bengal tiger but it wasn't there. No other major animals. Second ,the zoo is not maintained at all. So many damaged cages , unhygienic cages where animals are suffocated to live ,no cleanliness at all ,zero maintenance. The wall of the python cage is literally turned into a lover's point🤦🏻‍♂️. And other than that ,they don't accept cash payments too (only card or UPI). So , don't go with high expectations.
