In a citizen-friendly move, the Lahore Zoo administration has announced a 50% discount on several recreational facilities to provide financial relief and boost footfall at one of the city’s most visited attractions.
While entry and parking fees remain unchanged, notable discounts have been introduced for key attractions, including the Reptile House, Fish Aquarium, Holoverse, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality experiences.
Under the revised pricing, tickets for the Reptile House and Fish Aquarium—previously priced at Rs200—are now available for Rs100. Similarly, tickets for Holoverse (formerly Rs300), Virtual Reality (Rs200), and Mixed Reality (Rs100) are also being offered at half price.

Although the Holoverse, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality sections are temporarily closed due to ongoing maintenance and sanitation, the zoo administration has assured the public that these facilities will reopen following the completion of the necessary upgrades.
The decision to introduce discounted rates was made with the approval of the Captive Wildlife Management Committee (CWMC). Zoo officials stated that the initiative aims to offer economic relief to citizens and renew public interest in zoo-based recreational activities.
This development comes just a day after the private firm previously managing the zoo withdrew from its contractual role. As a result, the Lahore Zoo administration has assumed direct control over ticketing and operational matters.
Officials emphasised that the discounts reflect a broader commitment to making the zoo more accessible and enjoyable for families and nature enthusiasts throughout the city.
