Chennai Snake Park - Animal park in Chennai - Chennai, India

Guindy national park is closed. Only snake park is open.snakes are not looking healthy. Needs to be kept in a more natural environment. Crocodiles are looking healthy.. inly few varieties of crocodiles and varieties of snakes available.. kids may enjoy more here. Description about the species is good.

Entry fee is very less and worth to bring children's if they have intrest to watch reptiles. Don't miss to watch awareness video about types of snakes and precautions to avoid snakebite. Becareful of your belongings as there are monkeys roaming around. Opening time: 10:00am to 05:00pm. No food court, restaurant available near the premises.

Children's park has been closed for the last 4 months, hence we had to visit the snake park. Nothing much to see. Just snakes and crocodiles. It will take just 20 mins inside the park. But the waiting time in the queue is 30 mins. Entrance fee for adults is Rs20, kids from ages 5 above is Rs10. They collect Rs20 for camera mobiles, which is atrocious. All of us use camera mobiles and most of the people don't give the correct numbers in the ticket office. What's the point behind this? This place is not worthy.

1) Location: Next to IIT Madras and located on main road, hardly 30-40 mins from the middle of the city or from all the tourist / important places. 2) Attractions: Great collection of snakes and reptiles. In addition to over thirty Indian snakes, this specialty zoo is home to domestic and exotic crocodiles, turtles and tortoises. A library and museum are also on site. There is one sketch artist, who makes good sketches of visitors in 5 mins, good time-pass. 3) Food: Almost none, although there is a small sarkari run counter which sells essentials like water, ice creams, cold drinks etc, but since it's in the city, you can find many options outside the park nearby. 4) Entry Fees: Minimal, 20 rupees for adults, 10 rupees for children. Extra 20 rupees for mobile phone with camera. 5) Overall: Ok types, maybe one time visit.

It's a good place to take kids and show them the snakes, tortoise, crocodile and few small animals. They see it in real life. Kids will surely enjoy it.

Best place to visit with children to show different snakes and crocodiles. Entre is just 20rs for adults and 10rs for children below 5 years no fare. Must visit places once. There you can also visit a small museum about snakes and insects.

Chennai Snake park is a part of Guindy National park. Currently National park is under renovation. So only snake park is accessible. An hour tour of snakes where we do find variety of snakes but most of them were alive but in a lifeless form. A short tour with your kids would be fine. But not recommended for people who enjoy watching wildlife. Guindy or Little mount would be the nearest accessible metro stations to snake park

It's a great experience for me. Personally I enjoyed the time I spent in the national snake park. They showcased many varieties of snake and other reptiles. But I couldn't see the chameleon as its cage was empty. If you're planning for a family outing with children, you can prefer this place. Nearby there is a children's park. But ensure it's open for visitors. Because, due to some reasons they are temporarily closed for visitors. There are alot of public transport available for this location. Have fun!!
