Detail InformationEdit

During Eid or the other festivals or holidays, the zoo used to be the first amusement centre for the kids of this port town. However because of lack of attractions, numbers of holiday makers to the facility are perpetually depleting. Guests alleged that kids turned glowering if they did not see a tiger once visiting the zoo. Because of inadequate attractions and lack of maintenance, the amusement centre has lost most of its recent charm.
