Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, popularly known as ‘Mysuru Zoo’, is one of the oldest zoos of the country established in 1892, by His Highness, the erstwhile Ruler of Mysuru Sri Chamarajendra Wadiyar Bahadur. Mysuru Zoo holds an important place in Karnataka. In 1909 the Palace Zoo was named as Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens to commemorate the illustrious founder and since then it bears the nomenclature. Mysuru Zoo has gradually grown into tourist centre, imparting wildlife values. It has got 123 years of history exhibiting wild animals in the near natural enclosures. Despite majority of the zoos have been shifted from the original place to the new places, Mysuru Zoo could modernize the zoo, without shifting the zoo. The zoo is well compacted unit, with modern animal enclosures including heritage buildings attracting tourists all over the world.

1. We visited Mysore Zoo a couple of days back. This zoo is world class. It is neat, clean and the upkeep of the animals & surroundings is extremely good. The animals are well fed and they look healthy. 2. We visited the zoo in the afternoon and most of the animals were outside the cages and visitors could watch the animals. 3. The full circuit within the zoo is ~ 4 Kms. For those who find it difficult to walk, there are electric cars to take them around. The entire trip takes about an hour. 4. You can see all the big cats, elephants, rhinos, hippos, bears, gaur, different types of monkeys, parrots & lots of birds ....... 5. The boards give you valuable information about the anmals. 5. I have visited this zoo after ages with my grandson and it was a pleasure going to the Mysore zoo. 6. Kudos to the zoo staff for their hard work & dedication in maintaining the zoo and taking care of the animals.

Dropped at "Planet Earth" on the way to Brindavan Gardens. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting this place. Neatly maintained aquarium with variety of fishes, pet animals (Dogs, Cats, Pigeons, Rabbits, Parrots etc.) & walk through the organic farm. Loved it... My toddlers couldn't hold their excitement. Was running all over. A children's park is also getting constructed which should be ready in a week. Highly recommended!!

It is located about 10 km from the centre of the city. You can reach there either by cab or take the 94 no. bus from the city bus stand to BEML and from there it is a 1 km walk to the entrance. I visited in Nov. 2019 and the park was lush green with thick foliage on either side of the walkway. Was able to sight hornbills, peacocks, minivets, malkoha, APFC (white and brown morph), Tickells blue, brahminy kites, Ibis, ducks, coots, blue cheeked bee eaters, greater coucal. It takes about 3 hours to take a leisurely stroll around the complete circumference of the Lake. Do preserve and enjoy the silence and of the location.

We ended up going here when it was closed, so I can't speak about whether or not crowds are a factor, but the birdlife was great: herons, egrets, golden eagles, pelicans, and many others I can't name. The walk around the lake takes about an hour, and it felt extremely peaceful to get away from the traffic. The path is nicely shaded.
