Dhaka Zoo, officially the Bangladesh National Zoo, is a large family attraction in Mirpur with collections of local and foreign animals and birds. The Royal Bengal tiger is the headline species for many visitors, though the zoo is also a useful window into how Dhaka families spend a day out.
Come with realistic expectations: this is a busy public zoo rather than a polished international-standard wildlife park. It is still one of the city's main child-friendly stops and can be paired with other Mirpur-area sights.
