Review
The Karachi Zoo Park is a pretty good place to bring your family, there are a lot of beautiful animals and especially the reptile house is much enjoyable. But the place is not fully maintained and the Lahore Zoo is much better than this one. Moreover MEN are not allowed on Wednesdays.

Karachi Zoo, established in year 1878, was commonly called as 'Mahatma Gandhi Garden'. In 1861, the zoo was transferred to municipality by the government. In 1878, the municipality placed the zoo under a trust to be developed out of public subscription. Later, the zoo was once again opened to public in 1881. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the name was changed to 'Karachi Zoological Gardens' or 'Karachi Zoo' for short.

Review
Karachi zoo is great place it has many kind of animals and the great thing is that the area is too big so everyone's can go and get fresh their mind. Need some sort of maintenance there government or committee should care all of these.

Review
Karachi zoo is a nice place for relaxing and enjoying with family. Animals are suffering not giving proper food to them. Also not Maintained.

Review
The place is visited more for the reason that there is no other zoological garden for the city of 20 million. The garden is in one of the oldest and most polluted area of the city. In morning times, usually schools bring their students for a study cum recreational visit. The place has an amusement section as well which is much affordable but usually over crowded and filthy. Food stalls are also not recommended for eating. People visiting must only go for packed items and bottled water and beverages.
