Of all the places to visit in Karachi with family, the Karachi Zoo is still one of the most popular spots for picnics and hangouts. Also known as the Karachi Zoological Gardens, this famous tourist attraction covers 33 acres and is one of the largest zoos in Pakistan.

It is also the second-oldest zoo in the country, built just six years after the famous Lahore Zoo. Whether you’re an animal lover, a history buff, or simply looking for a fun day out, Karachi Zoo offers something for everyone.

Karachi Zoo History

  • Karachi Zoo opened its doors to the public in 1878 and was named the ‘Mahatma Gandhi Garden’ in 1913. Interestingly, the site where the zoo is now located used to be a factory belonging to the East India Company back in 1833.
  • After Pakistan gained independence in 1947, the name of Gandhi Garden Karachi was changed to Karachi Zoological Gardens, more commonly referred to as Karachi Zoo. In 1952, an aquarium called ‘Machli Ghar’ was added. In 1953, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) created the positions of zoo curator and veterinary doctor to ensure the animals stayed healthy.
  • In 1991, the city government remodeled the Natural History Museum inside the zoo, which was inaugurated by a Japanese Princess in 1992. The Reptile House was also extended and renovated in the same year.

Visiting Karachi Zoo is very affordable. The entrance fee is only PKR 30/-.
