Pets
Zone
A gentle, easy-going animal enclosure inside the Statue of Unity complex — goats, rabbits, mini cows and ducks alongside exotics like macaws, cockatoos and iguanas, with guided hands-on sessions for select animals.
A Small Stop That Kids Remember
The Pets Zone is a compact, easy-going animal enclosure that's become one of the most searched-for stops in Kevadia for families with young children. It's a deliberately smaller, gentler space you can fit into a sightseeing day without eating up hours, and it consistently ends up being the part kids ask to revisit.
- Domestic animals — goats, sheep, mini cows, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, rabbits, guinea pigs and miniature ponies.
- Exotics — iguanas, macaws, cockatoos, ferrets and raccoons.
- Guided, hands-on interaction sessions for select animals, run by the on-site keepers — which animals are available depends on their welfare needs that day.
Pets Zone Timings
The zone closes for a two-hour break in the middle of the day for animal welfare and maintenance — plan your visit around one of the two sessions below.
Last entry 12 PM. Generally the quieter of the two sessions.
Last entry 5 PM. Pairs well with an evening plan at the Statue.
The 1 PM–3 PM closure isn't a lunch break for staff — it's built in for the animals' rest and for enclosure cleaning, so it's worth planning around rather than arriving right at 1 PM expecting entry.
Domestic & Exotic Species
Domestic Animals
- Goats and sheep, generally the most approachable animals for younger kids
- Mini cows, a smaller breed kept specifically for this kind of close interaction
- Chickens and ducks, in an open run near the entrance
- Rabbits and guinea pigs, usually the most requested hands-on session
- Turkeys and geese, sharing the open run with the chickens and ducks
- Miniature ponies and Persian cats, two of the zone's smaller, calmer residents
Exotics
- Iguanas, kept in a warm, glass-fronted enclosure
- Macaws and cockatoos, colourful and usually the most photographed residents
- Ferrets, active and curious, often part of the interaction sessions
- Raccoons, a crowd favourite that draws a small queue of its own
Practical Visit Tips
Time It Right
Because it closes 1 PM–3 PM, build your visit into either the morning or afternoon block of your Kevadia itinerary rather than treating it as a spontaneous mid-day stop.
Wheelchair-Friendly
The zone is laid out as a flat, walking-only enclosure, which makes it easy for wheelchair users, elderly visitors and anyone who's already done a lot of walking that day.
Interaction Isn't Guaranteed for Every Animal
Guided hands-on sessions run for select animals only, based on keeper judgment that day. Treat it as a bonus rather than something to promise your kids in advance.
Good For Younger Kids
Short duration and low walking make this an easy add-on for toddlers who might struggle with a longer attraction like the Jungle Safari.
