Kanpur Zoological Park (Allen Zoo)

KANPUR ZOOLOGICAL PARK (ALLEN ZOO)

The zoological garden has been named after the British industrialist George Burney Allen, and is a children’s favourite. This place was essentially a forest which was converted into a zoo with huge enclosures allowing near natural habitats for the wildlife. This zoo started in 1971 with one otter and now it houses everything from Asiatic tigers, lions to Gangetic Gharials, sloth bears, chimpanzee etc. Visitors can also find primates and deers bounding past them as they are permitted to roam free.
