![National Zoological Gardens of Sri Lanka is situated in Dehiwala which is few miles away from capital, Colombo. It was founded in 1936. Its sprawling areas are host to a variety of animals and birds. The zoo exhibits animals but also places an emphasis on animal conservation and welfare, and education. 

 The zoological garden has become the home for hundreds of endemic species of Sri Lanka. And also, due to the great commitment of the staff, this is considered as one of the better zoological gardens in South Asia.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975861457/46a508c8-0f36-44bb-8576-9f340b832a11.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

8.4/10 Very Good! (5 reviews)

Peaceful & relaxing with a beautiful beach & safe swimming. The Garden Villas were delightful & the staff genuinely friendly with good service standards. There is a lifeguard on duty who is both informative about sea conditions & the wildlife around. The birdlife is stunning. Only one small quibble in that the inner pool area could do with a bit of a clean.Other than that all good & would certainly recommend.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (27 reviews)

Fantastic paradise right on the beach. Close enough to all the tourism and excitement, but far enough away to have true peace and tranquility. The staff was absolutely phenomenal and the reason I will absolutely come back.
