    It's a nice place to visit with family and friends.
    But not a lot to see there. It hardly taken 15-20 minutes to see everything there.
    It's not a big facility.
    There are around 10-15 crocodiles. Very big one.
    You can take pictures if you want to.
    Nice place for kids if they are not afraid of giant reptiles.
    Entry fees is around 100 rupees for Indian Citizens.

    It's a very small and compact zoo. Entry fees of Rs. 100/- is high but can visit once if you have small kids

    This place is nice for visiting but the manager charged RS 100 for each person to watch the crocodiles.

    This is mostly an alligator zoo than crocodile ones.But it is good and well maintained .People can buy souvenir eggs in the zoo.Those reptiles are really huge.A seperate compound for minor alligators is there.Besides this,3 pools are there containing adults.
    This is an interesting place.

    Crocodile zoo is a small crocodile breeding point almost 10 mins walk from Bhutan Gate.

    Alligators and crocodiles of different sizes are kept safely here but the entry fee of ₹100 is way too costly.

    If you are croc enthusiast it’s a great place to be if not, give it a miss.

    It's a crocodile breeding point under the Royal Govt of Bhutan. One can see here Alligators too. Walking through a small corridor with cages on both sides filled up with moving crocodiles is exciting.

    I managed to get a glimpse of 7-8 crocodiles in this place. Entry fees is 100 INR per person. All crocodiles were asleep. Probably it is better to visit this place when crocodiles are active, like when they have food or something like that.

    It's a small place and you can see crocodiles, and gharials extremely closely and safely.

    If you want a quick wildlife experience in Bhutan, it's an easy non-missable visit.

    Costly place to visit. Area is small and u will only find old crocodiles with few younger offsprings. Looking at those crocodile u may not believe that they are original.They seems like stone model at first for me. Later I believes ohh they are original. Entry fee cost is Rs100 per head which is costly with respect to other mega national park or zoo or water park. As it comes under Royal Govt of Bhutan the charge is more.

    Nice and well maintained. The only concern is that the ticket price. 100/- per person is way too much for 6 crocs in 3 captivity.

    It's one of the coolest attraction in Phuntsholing. The place is infested with crocodiles and alligators and their babies, and it's not something we can see anywhere on a regular day.
    It's totally safe and the entry fee is very reasonable but much can be done about the experience people can enjoy while visiting it.
    The reptiles are basically sleeping all the time and the visitors are dying to see the move or do something other than sleep The management can put in some activities to attract people during certain times: like while feeding, etc to let people see moving crocodiles
    The while setting is backward with rusted chainmesh and there is need for standard basic amenities like juice stall, toilet, waste bins etc.

    It's not a zoo, but a conservation site. There are quite a few of crocodile but still nothing special. The ticket price is 100 and if you are intelligent then you will reuse these ticket. I hope you get what I meant

    This is a place where you can see Crocodiles of all sizes - small, big and large.
    There are Alligators too.
    To see such creatures from so near is scary at times.
    Very well maintained center.
    A bit smelly but it is manageable.

    Entry point is simple and nondescript.
    You might be confused whether the entry gate is meant for Crocodile center or for a normal home.
    But once you go inside you will be stunned.

    Ticket process is simple.
    A single window operator is there.
    Takes down your name and hands over the ticket to you.
    Whether you are solo or in a group, the ticket will bear only 1 name.
    Cost is Rs.50 I think (don't remember).

    I loved visiting this place. They not not breed crocodiles but i guess it's also a conversation centre for all rescued animals. While we were looking at the crocodiles, the brought a wounded deer and a baby own that had fallen off a tree. Glad to see that they rescue wild animals, rehabilitate and care for them. I just wanted the farm to be bigger, its pretty tight .
