"Must see"
0 out of 5 blips
Bannerghatta national park and zoo is one of the tourist attractions for both locals as well as visitors. This park is on the very end of Bannerghatta road over 20 kms away from the city .On the way you will pass through some of the IT companies on this road like Oracle, Accenture , Honeywell etc and IIM, Bangalore.
The zoo is maintained well , has decent collection of wild life, especially birds.The animal collection includes Giraffe,Zebras, Hippos, Leopard, Elephants, Camels. Kids will definitely enjoy the open space. I was surprised to see peacocks and monkeys roaming openly crossing the streets and in fact visitors were having tough time keeping the monkeys away from them. Kids will definitely love the open space. Even though it is not as big as comparable to other zoos, it is well maintained. There is a small refreshment shop where kids can get ice creams and snacks. Lots of schools bring kids for a day trips. The highlight of the visit is not inside the park, but the elephant ,lion and tiger safari that has to be taken separately. One take a enclosed bus to the inner habitats of these wild animals and can see them roam openly in the wild. These buses go every half hour from the zoo and this is a definite must see.
