360 ZOO, DHA Multan

We recently visited this zoo with our children after hearing a lot of hype about it being state-of-the-art. Unfortunately, it was far from what we expected—and certainly not close to deserving that label. Our trip was quite disappointing. Many animals appeared to be in poor condition. Despite the scorching temperatures rising above 50°C, the thick-skinned animals were not kept in climate-controlled enclosures. It was heartbreaking to see them confined in cages without even the basic facilities required for their well-being. The sight was distressing for the kids, who struggled to understand why the animals were left to suffer in such extreme conditions. Even animals that typically need protection from heat—like bears—were kept in open-air enclosures, visibly uncomfortable and agitated. The lion cub also seemed unwell and lethargic, which only added to our concern. As for logistics, the entry tickets were priced at Rs. 150 for children up to 15 years and Rs. 250 for adults. Families of Armed Forces personnel were granted free entry, and DHA residents were charged Rs. 125. There's a small café on site for snacks and a roadside cart (the thela) selling finger chips. However, we chose not to eat anything as our children were deeply disturbed by the miserable condition of the animals. Pakistan has faced criticism in the past for its inadequate treatment of animals in zoos, and sadly, this visit served as another painful reminder. It's high time animal welfare groups raise their voices once again to advocate for these voiceless creatures and push for real improvements. These animals deserve better—at the very least, they deserve humane living conditions.

Experience was pretty good , but it closes at 9 am almost. There were many different kind of animals to see and good to visit in the evening.

Zoo is wonderful and excellent environment. 2 star are less because of high fee entry ticket for civilians and unchecked cafeteria rates, charged 150 RS for ice cream which is 80 RS only . Entry ticket fee should be equal for everyone.

Recently I visited 360 Zoo, DHA Multan. It was quite decent with an above average management as compared to other zoos in Pakistan, but was not up to the standard. However, still better. It has a variety of animals, sort of a decent refreshment point it could be if you want to try

The Multan DHA Zoo is a wonderful place for families and nature lovers to spend quality time together. The zoo is clean, well-maintained, and offers a peaceful environment surrounded by greenery. The animals are kept in neat enclosures and appear healthy and well-cared for. It’s a great spot for children to learn about wildlife and enjoy a safe outdoor experience. There are also plenty of benches, shaded areas, and food stalls for visitors to relax. The staff is friendly and cooperative, always ready to help and guide you around.
