Sardar Patel Zoological Park

Sardar Patel Zoological Park is a newly inaugurated zoo situated in Kevadia, a town in the Narmada district of Gujarat. Located in the vicinity of the majestic Statue of Unity, this tremendous establishment hosts about 170 different species of wildlife from all across the globe, is home to a wide range of plant life and has a breathtaking aviary inhabited by endemic as well as foreign varieties of birds. The Royal Bengal Tigers, Zebras, Leopards etc. are only a few examples of wild animals one can explore here.

 

The park was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 31st October 2020, commemorating the birth anniversary of the much revered leader of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. It is spread over a vast expanse of land about 1,300 acres in size. Unlike conventional zoos, the Sardar Patel Zoological Park is built with an “open design”, wherein the animals aren’t displayed in cages, but bred in their natural environment. Golf carts are provided for excursions through the park, which truly feel as thrilling as a jungle safari. Volunteers are present at every nook and corner of the park to assist tourists and guide them around the premises.
