Hyderabad: Visitors to the Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad will have to pay more for entry as ticket prices have been increased with effect from March 1, 2025. The decision to increase the entry fee was taken during the 13thGoverning Body meeting of the Zoos and Parks Authority of Telangana.
According to the zoo authorities, the new price structure is – adults will have to pay Rs 100 per entry ticket, while children will be charged Rs 50. Previously, the zoo charged Rs 70 for adults and Rs 45 for children aged 3 to 10 on weekdays. On weekends, the charges were Rs 80 for adults and Rs 55 for children.
