Horsley Hill Zoo

The Horsley Hills Zoo is great for animal fans, especially families with young children. It is in the beautiful Horsley Hills of Andhra Pradesh. This cute zoo isn't a vast wildlife refuge, but it's a great place to see a lot of different animals and take a break from hiking in the hills.

How large is the Zoo?

It's easy for families with young children or guests with only a little to get around the Horsley Zoo because it's not too big. The well-kept paths make it easy to stroll past the animal cages. Signs with information about each species make the walk more enjoyable.

The miniature zoo is also advantageous—it has a calmer environment than more prominent zoos. Looking at the animals doesn't feel rushed so that you can take your time.

Horsley Hills has a lot to offer, and the Horsley Hills Zoo is just one of them. While exploring the zoo, watch for the impressive Kalyani Eucalyptus tree, which is more than 160 years old.
