About Agartala Zoo

Agartala Zoo, also known as Ujjayanta Palace Zoo, is a 5-hectare zoological garden located in Agartala, the capital city of Tripura. It houses a diverse collection of indigenous and exotic animals, including Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, and various bird species in naturalistic enclosures. The zoo serves as both a conservation center and educational institution, offering visitors an intimate wildlife experience within the city.

💡Why Visit?

The zoo provides a family-friendly introduction to Tripura's wildlife and regional fauna, with well-maintained exhibits and the historical backdrop of Ujjayanta Palace adjacent to the grounds. It is an excellent offbeat destination for those interested in regional conservation efforts and animal observation without the crowds of major metropolitan zoos.
