The Best Zoos in Jharkhand
How this list is ordered: by how complete our listing is — how much we hold on opening hours, ticket prices, accreditation, photographs, animals and facilities. It is a measure of our own coverage, not a judgement of the venue. We hold no visitor scores or conservation assessments, so “best” here means every zoo in Jharkhand that qualifies for the list, fullest entry first.
Listed alphabetically
-
Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park
Zoo in Mesra
The park was set up in 1994 next to the Getalsud Dam, on the road between Ranchi and Hazaribag. It is divided into an animal section of 83 hectares and a botanical section of 21 hectares.
-
Tata Steel Zoological Park
Zoo in Jamshedpur
Roughly 411 animals of 50 species are held, made up of 18 mammal, 28 bird and 4 reptile species. India's Central Zoo Authority classes the zoo as 'Medium', inspecting it periodically and setting conditions for improvement. Requirements still outstanding include a veterinary hospital with a postmortem room and incinerator, the relocation of some enclosures, separate entry and exit gates and a stronger perimeter wall.

This is not a ranking. The 2 venues above are listed alphabetically by name, the same order used throughout this site. We do not collect visitor reviews, star ratings, ticket-sales figures or a conservation-impact score, so none of those exist here to rank by — “best” in this page’s title means every venue that qualifies for this list, not first-to-last by quality. If we ever add a data source robust enough to support an honest ranking, this note and the order above will change together.
