A fine and well maintained Museum in Ooty. The entry for non-Indian adults is Rs 100, for Indian adults is Rs 15, for children is Rs 5 and is free for students. The museum itself is very small, which you can finish seeing in 30 mins. But it's absolutely entertaining to spend some time.

This is the best place of Ooty. If you are someone who wants to dive deep into the historical roots this is the place. What people don’t realise is that this building is also the first ever building (The Stone house) ever built in Ooty by John Sullivan in 1819 after his expedition and discovery of ooty. Blessed to be here.

It is a well maintained Granite built house in the heart of Ooty. And there are many antics and stuffed real animals and birds showcased in well preserved manner. We can also see and study about the old tribal culture and people of Udhagamandalam district.

The most beautiful place to see the full beauty of nature is at the top of the mountain that kisses the clouds.⛰️😘. ☹️ One important thing is that we do not see our worst time of holiday on Fridays

Ooty Stone House is one of the most important historic monuments of Ooty. Unofficially it was from the Ooty Stone House that the modernization of Ooty began. This is the first house to be constructed in Ooty. History of "modern" Ooty begins when the Collector of Coimbatore, John Sullivan, commissioned Keys and Mc Mahon, to survey and explore the place. Neither of them was ready for the visual treat lying before their eyes and not long after that Sullivan himself undertook an expedition to further explore the Ghats in the Ooty side. Finding the place quite habitable and, maybe foreseeing the potential of the place as a tourist destination, he built the first English house in Ooty which is known as the Stone House and even today is one of the most famous tourist destinations. To increase the accessibility of Ooty to the outside world, the English undertook several initial development activities like lying of the roads and clearing forests and so on. In a way it all started with the building of the Stone House. Image Gallery of Stone House Oot       The Stone house is located in a very picturesque location in Ooty and a visit there will definitely not be a waste of your time, though many of you will agree that there far better places to see in and around Ooty. Tourists visit the place in heavy numbers every year and it has grown into a wonderful tourist destination. But currently the Stone House is the official residence of the Principal of Government Arts College, Ooty, certainly a befitting resident to the house which has a rich and colorful history.

Don't miss out this palce durig your visit to Ooty. You have to pay only 5 rs to visit this palce and you can see lots of original stuffed animals and rare pieces of old things.

Apart from the luscious greenery and the abundant tea estates, Ooty also has a bit of interesting historical sites and one of them is the Stone House. Built by John Sullivan, the then collector of Coimbatore that marked the first English house to be built in Ooty. What was constructed to be his residence is now a government museum that houses different species of stuffed animals and birds. Also contains several tribal indigenous tools and artworks. Definitely worth the visit.

Very peaceful and less crowded place which is beautifully curated and a must visit if coming to ooty as it is on the way to other tourist places/attractions. Enjoyed my time here especially considering I love zoology. It's not a big museum but it is good enough to consume 20 minutes of your time if you read and check everything carefully. Ticket is 10rs for adult and 5rs for photo. Worth every penny.

Nice place for science background students.

The Government Museum in Ooty, situated on the Ooty-Mysore Road, gives a peek into the culture and ancient heritage of the tribes of Ooty. And there is no admission fee to visit this. This building is also called as stone house.

This is a surprisingly good museum. Just one small quibble: I wish more of the exhibits had explicit dates.
