The main reason to visit the zoo was my daughter as we wanted her to see the animals that she sees in her books. She cud very well relate to the animals and even shouted the names.
On entering the Zoo one finds visitors going all around the place but the arrows marks on the road make for a good direction. Leopard cat, Indian Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, Black Buck, Indian Gazelle and Lion-tailed macaque are some animals you should especially see on your visit.
Winter time boosts of some migratory birds including storks, ducks and others. The caged and non caged animals have plenty of space necessary for the survival. The flora and fauna is just amazing as the trees are marked wid names both in english and hindi.
I was amazed to find that there are many varities of pepal tree and some of them even have medicinal values. You are not allowed to carry any eatables along so eating in the zoo cafeteria is a good option. While exploring the zoo one finds small shops which offer coffee, mineral water and cold drinks but no eatables. So stuff yourself before you start with your journey. Teasing and feeding animals are not allowed but there were a few people who were seen doing so. Some other details include:
Location: To the South of Purana Qila on Mathura Road.

The best way to see the zoo is by foot as some enclosures are a little far away from each other but vans are also available to explore the zoo. I my opinion winters is the best time to go to zoo as the weather allows you to explore the zoo on foot and not much is required to keep yourself hydrated during the winters unlike the summers. My daughter had a great time inside and was much excited to see the elephant poop. All in all we had a great time!
