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.
