Alipore Zoo

Alipore Zoo, officially the Zoological Garden, Alipore, is one of India’s oldest zoos and a long-standing Kolkata attraction. Set in south Kolkata, it is known for its spacious grounds, broad collection of mammals, reptiles, and birds, and its historical place in the city’s cultural life. The zoo is especially popular with families and visitors interested in colonial-era institutions and urban green spaces. While not a modern safari-style park, it offers an accessible, central stop for those seeking a traditional zoo experience.
