Welcome to Sundarvan
Set in the heart of Ahmedabad city, is a lush green zoo that whisks you away from the daily dust and noise to engage your senses to the sounds and beauty of nature. Using zoo as an education platform since 1978, children who once played on these grounds grew up to be nature conscious citizens bringing their children here today. Kids as well as adults are welcome to be a part of our living classroom.
