Manas Petting Zoo is a wonderful place for kids and families! The zoo is clean, well maintained, and full of cute animals like rabbits, birds, goats, and more. Children can safely touch, feed, and interact with the animals which makes it very educational and fun. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they take good care of the animals. It’s a perfect weekend spot for families, school visits, and animal lovers. Highly recommended petting zoo for a joyful and memorable experience!

I really enjoyed the food and the ambience. I met the hostess Picy who was excellent at her service and very quick to respond. Harsh too was very welcoming and helpful. The zoo was entertaining has a variety of animals and birds.
Surely calls for a revist here.

I recently spent 3 days at Manas Resort and Petting Zoo for a work getaway and it was exactly what I needed!!!
Being an architectural designer working here felt like a breath of fresh air.
The highlight, of course, is the “Petting Zoo”Interacting with the animals was a wonderful way to decompress between meetings and design sessions. The staff was V attentive and the overall vibe is very welcoming & V peaceful. I was so impressed with their pet-friendly approach 🫶🏻 I loved it so much that I’m coming back soon with my two cats 😍🥰 Highly recommended for pet lovers.
Also the cleanliness is 10/10 & foood is 100!!
If you’re looking for a place where you can be productive while staying connected to nature, this is it

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, largely thanks to the phenomenal staff and culinary team! The service, food, and overall cleanliness were absolutely top-notch. Every meal we had was delicious, and the staff consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The entire property is kept impeccably clean, which is a huge plus.
A special shoutout of Veer, Domenic and Suraj from the restaurant for their sevice.
The only small area for improvement would be the rooms themselves. While they are perfectly clean, the facilities feel a bit dated and could definitely use a modern refresh to match the high standard of the rest of the hotel.
Despite the older rooms, the incredible hospitality and exceptional dining easily made this a 5-star experience. I would gladly return!
