I recently visited Bannerghatta National Park and had a fantastic experience, especially with the Safari, which is undoubtedly the highlight of the park. Be prepared for long queues for tickets on weekends and holidays, but they also offer an online ticketing system to help avoid the rush at the counters.
The park provides both AC and non-AC buses for the Safari, as well as Jeeps, offering flexibility based on your preference. There is ample parking space available, making it convenient for visitors.
The zoo within the park is well-maintained and home to a variety of wild animals, making it an exciting and educational visit for kids. Additionally, there are a few hotels nearby for lunch and breakfast, adding to the convenience.
Overall, Bannerghatta National Park is a worthwhile place to visit, offering a blend of adventure and learning, perfect for families.

Bannerghatta Biological Park is a sprawling sanctuary near Bengaluru, offering a diverse wildlife experience. The zoo houses various animals, with white tigers being a highlight. The Grand Safari is a must-do, showcasing herbivores and predators in open reserves. Additional attractions like the butterfly and reptile parks add to the appeal. While crowds can be a challenge, especially on weekends, Bannerghatta remains a worthwhile destination for nature lovers and families.
A great place to visit on weekends and easily accessible with public transportation. It's best to buy tickets in advance to avoid the rush. The zoo and safari have a wide variety of animals. Opt for the jeep safari if you want to get up close to the animals, though it can be a bit pricey. The food stalls in and around the park are just okay. Overall, I would recommend visiting.
Nice place for a day trip. Includes Safari (AC/Non AC bus, jeep, car), zoo and butterfly park. Weekends attract lot of crowd. Enjoyable if weather is pleasant. Well maintained place. Infrastructure and facilities have improved immensely since I visited 5 years back. Preferable to book tickets online and select morning slots. Toilets, eateries and drinking water facilities are present. Ample parking space available for 2/4 wheelers.
One of the mandatory places to take your kids…. Safari was good, we got bus ride booked online…. 400 per person.. kids entry fee was free…. Got chance to see many animals (pics attached), also went for butterfly 🦋 and zoo and saw many animals… there are some snacks outlet as well inside campus…. Plenty of parking available…. Authorities have done good job and maintained the whole park and area properly…. Overall nice experience
*Bannerghatta Zoo & Safari:*
The Safari was very nice and pleasant, we could see all animals like Tigers, White Tigers, Lions, Bison, Neelgai, Deer, Elephants.
Later we visited the Butterfly Park and the Zoo. We reached around 9.30 am and started back around 2.00 pm. In between it rained very heavily while we were at the restaurant.
*My Views:*
1. The Safari Combo ticket of Rs.670 for AC Mini Bus (Rs.350 for Non AC) is actually a waste of time and money. Highly overpriced.
2. Unlike earlier days where the animals were roaming freely on the roads, now they are all caged, tied up or within enclosures. This is on account of the horrific incident that happened many years ago when a tiger attacked a bus and killed a child.
3. It is sufficient if you buy the Rs.100 ticket for the Zoo. The Zoo is well maintained and has all the above animals and many more. Viewing is also very comfortable as we can watch all the animals quite closeup (unlike the Mysore zoo). It was fairly crowded even though it was a Monday. I hate to think what it would be like on weekends and holidays.
4. Because of the Safari and Butterfly park we were quite tired and exhausted while walking through the Zoo. A good idea would have been to spend another Rs.100 for the battery operated vehicle, go around the entire zoo and spend the leisure time either boating or playing in the park.
5. There is a restaurant inside called Hill View Restaurant. Not at all hygienically maintained. We had some Nandini Ice-cream and some French fries only. They had already cooked fried rice and noodles and nothing else available. The other stalls outside did not look appetizing or hygienic.
6. Parking is free. RO purified drinking water is available. Toilets are clean and well maintained. Zoo is well maintained.
We are planning to go there some other time and visit only the zoo and spend some quality time instead of wasting money on the Safari

Loved the safari. We have opted for non ac bus safari which costs about 425 per person including zoo and butterfly park. Tickets can be booked online either beforehand or QR for website is available at entrance.
Safari was a new experience as the animals can be seen roaming around very closely. Bus driver stops at each point and gives enough time to take photographs.
Zoo was also good but variety of animals are less. EV vehicle is available inside zoo which costs 100/person.
Butterfly park was also good and have nice collection of butterflies and flowers.

We booked entire package for zoo, butterfly park and safari for Rs3900 for 6 people and the safari entirely worth it single handedly.
We say 3 tigers, 4 lions, bear, many dear and elephants and many more.
It was thrilling, specially the tiger, it was just 3-4 mitres away roaming and roaring like a wild king.
The entire safari will take around 1 hours in jeep.
Adding some good photos and videos of our safari.
And then comes the butterfly park where the entry fee is Rs50(was included in our package), here you can see many butterfly in the dome and then there is a small section where you can read about many kinds of butterflies and their picture. They’ll also show you a short documentary film on butterflies and all.
Then the Zoo, it was pretty descent, you won’t like it much if you have done the safari before that. So go for the safari at last which is the main attraction here.
A must visit place in Bangalore.
5 stars for this.

This place is a wonderful place for animal lovers. I enjoyed every meter I walked to view these animals and people too 😂😂. If you are a solo traveller no worries just hope in here and spend your full day.
Book your ticket from online from the website, book safari ticket too if you wish( I didn’t as I already visited this place before too). The restaurant serves good food in economic price. If you want to go for picnic, there is no spot here but you can carry your food and enjoy here at multiple seating areas.
Have a great time here. 🫡

We had a memorable experience at Bannerghatta National Park! The efficient management and care for visitors are definitely positives. The long queue might be a downside, but it's great to hear that everyone respected the line. The 40-minute bus ride through the park must have been quite an adventure! As for the ticket price, it's understandable to feel it's a bit high, especially considering it includes zoo tickets. Overall, it seems like a worthwhile visit for wildlife enthusiasts despite the cost.
Bus driver was really helpful. But i felt cost of ticket is little bit high as we had seen very few animals.

Safari was awesome. They offer Rs. 100 tickets for the zoo. You can also opt for battery car assistance for an additional Rs. 100. If you choose to participate in the safari, the fee is Rs. 300. For just Rs. 500, you can enjoy the complete experience in comfort. Additionally, I would recommend taking the safari ride; it's worth every penny.
Safari ride was awesome as we got glimpse of all outdoor animals including Lions, Bears, Deers, Elephants and the best part ... Head On with a tiger!
The inner side of the park was covered on foot. Besides the birds and monkeys, who were in a cage, the rest of the animals were open within boundaries and you could enjoy their views. Kid also could make the most of the fun. No food allowed inside. The whole place is pretty neat and clean with option of travelling the park in electric cars (paid).

It was a very amazing experience. I have been here multiple times. I would suggest avoiding the summer/dry season(Feb-May). If you have a big group try Jeep Safari. The cost difference would be there per head but the fun is more in the Jeep compared to the bus.
If you are visiting over the weekend, i would highly recommend to visit the earliest possible slots else be ready to find a huge crowd and even unavailable Safari rides.
