As per the new pricing structure, adults will now have to pay Rs 70 on weekdays and Rs 80 on holidays and weekends, while children will have to pay Rs 45 on weekdays and Rs 55 on holidays and weekends.

The earlier ticket prices were set at Rs 60 for adults on weekdays and Rs 75 on weekends and holidays, with children’s tickets priced at Rs 40 on weekdays and Rs 50 on weekends and holidays. However, in an effort to generate more revenue, the Forest department has decided to increase the entry fee across the board.

It is not yet known when the new pricing structure will come into effect, but visitors to the Hyderabad zoo should be prepared to shell out a bit more for their tickets when it does.
