A trip to Hyderabad's Nehru Zoological Park is about to get more expensive, with the Telangana government announcing a hike in entry fees, ride charges, parking, and other services.

Visiting Zoo Becomes Costlier In Hyderabad

Starting March 1, ticket prices for adults will rise to ₹100, while children will be charged ₹50. Previously, entry fees varied based on weekdays and weekends-₹70 and ₹45 on weekdays, ₹80 and ₹55 on weekends. The new pricing structure will now remain uniform throughout the week.

Zoo Curator J. Vasantha stated that fee revisions happen annually, and this decision was finalized during the 13th Governing Body of Zoos and Parks Authority of Telangana meeting.

Entry Fees: ₹100 for adults, ₹50 for children

"Every year, the rates are enhanced. During the Governing Body meeting held in June last year, it has been decided to increase the fee and we have received the minutes and accordingly released new rates," Nehru Zoological Park Curator J Vasantha said about the price hike.

With the price hike in place, visiting the zoo will now require a slightly deeper pocket, but the experience remains a popular attraction for families and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
