Located 17 km from Chandigarh, Chattbir Zoo is one of the largest of its kind in India. This is among the most-visited tourist places in Chandigarh. The large zoo houses around 103 species of animals that include leopards, lions, tigers and elephants, among others. The animals are kept in open enclosures and are free to roam within their confines.
This has become one of the must-visit places in Chandigarh for its exciting Lion Safari. The other attraction here is the Royal Bengal Tiger which, unlike the lions, is a solitary beast. The zoo is fun for visitors of all ages, but children will especially enjoy their close encounters with wild animals. It is open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and children under three years are admitted for free.
