Visited on weekends but not crowded. We waited for 30 min to ensure 12 people boarded the safari vehicle. Lions and Tigers found to be in good health and size as well.safari tickets issued at a price of 200 and zoo entry fees 100.Parking fees 25. Required 3 to 4 hrs for entire coverage. Wash room inside was clean. Good restaurant inside offer limited stuff.
Nice and clean environment around a zoo area but least Amount of animals are there and there are many of them not to be seen then in the place don't know why? But it is always a better place to have fun with family and friends, there is a parking spot to park your any type of vehicle and as a best drinking water facility and a good and cleaned rest room available. But the entry ticket for an adult is 80 rupees and for children (4<14) are 40 rupees it's a fair price for all day enjoyment. Yes! Extra money for camera. To go on safari we need to pay 200 rupees per person a little higher but fair.

Additionally, the safari contributes to the conservation initiatives of the zoo, fostering an understanding of the importance of protecting endangered species and their habitats. You can also adopt animals and pay for their well being
The safari was a good experience so three stars! One less because the other cage sections are still in the installation and renovation process! Another one less because you have to pay 80 rupees per person before entering the zoo and again 200 per person for Safari which come to a total of 280 rupees which i feel is not worth!!
A nice get away with your family and you can easily spend 2-4 hours. The Safari ride is hardly 15-30 mins based on the driver's mood. You can spot the well fed bengal tiger and lion. There are plenty of langurs, spotted deer, black buck and blue gaurs. Nice place to rewind and have some quality time amidst nature and animals. Entry ticket and safari tickets are priced nominally and it's worth it. Go for it
A Good Place to hangout with friends and family and a must visit for the lion safari with separate Jeep which costs only Rs-2,000/- for upto 6 members , which is worth to go ahead and explore the closest lion, tiger, bisons etc
A place to visit in Shimoga, easily accessible as not much far away from Shimoga city. Tiger and lion Safari was great and lots of birds and animals are there. The staffs are cooperative but they communicate in their own language. Safari price are reasonable
The safari is worth the visit Zoo has an entry fee and you have a separate charge for the vehicle Once you park, buy the safari tickets and finish the safari. Should cost around 200 per person. If you are a group of 6, you can hire a jeep for 2000. You can see a variety of Deers, Bisons, Tiger and Lions and close quarters. The zoo is okay and is a work in progress. But do visit the tiger and leopard enclosure. You can see the animals at close quarters through a glass window. It has a restaurant and a snack bar near the entrance. Children have a good play area. The place will be good once all construction work is complete.
