One of the oldest zoos in India, home to various species of mammals, birds, and reptiles, located within the Ram Niwas Garden complex.
Jaipur Zoo, officially known as Jaipur Zoological Garden, is one of the oldest zoos in India, established in 1877 by Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II. Located within the Ram Niwas Garden complex in central Jaipur, the zoo spans over 33 acres and houses a variety of animal species.
The zoo is home to numerous mammals, birds, and reptiles, including tigers, lions, bears, deer, crocodiles, and various bird species. It is organized into different sections, making it easy for visitors to navigate and observe the animals in environments designed to resemble their natural habitats.
In addition to its role as a tourist attraction, Jaipur Zoo is involved in conservation efforts, breeding programs for endangered species, and educational initiatives. The zoo conducts awareness programs about wildlife conservation and environmental protection for visitors, especially school children.
Over the years, the zoo has undergone several renovations and improvements to enhance the living conditions of the animals and the visitor experience. Despite its urban location, the zoo provides a green space within the city and serves as an important educational resource about wildlife and conservation.
