    Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, also known as the Mysore Zoo is one of the best zoological gardens in India. Maharaja Chamaraja Wodeyar established this Zoo in 1892. Excellent outing with kids and family. Either book a battery driven vehicle or walk around the park, in any case the experience is awesome. There are places which dispense water for the visitors at regular intervals. Also washrooms are made at regular intervals. If you visit Mysore, you just cannot afford to miss a visit to the zoo. It is very well maintained.

    Oldest and best zoo in Asia. It's biggest zoo. Battery car is available for those who can't walk. Cost of tickets vary for week days and weekend. Tuesday is holiday. White tiger and lot of snakes can be seen. Don't miss this zoo in your mysuru trip.

    Great and unforgettable experience. The zoo is really fantastic. It is just not packed with animals but presenting them in a animal friendly and as natural as possible environment. A great collection of eye catching animals in 3kms of area. It is suitable for kids and grown ups. Sign boards and total geographical maps everywhere. They provide lots of background information also for those who not just love the animals but are also interested to get to know more about their native place and living . Drinking water, child care rooms, feeding rooms , shopping and restaurants are available inside the zoo.

    Natural beautiful place with temple @ Makkoottam

  • 4/5 Navya J. 3 years ago on Google
    Must visit place A well maintained zoo, with so many birds , wild Animals, Reptiles. It would be a very interesting and educative day out to kids. Its very clean and neat. There's a concept of adopting the animals, which is a very good initiative. Description and details of the animals are displayed . Certainly we had a great time at the zoo.. But disappointed about the fact that the animals no longer stay at their home. They no longer have the freedom of walking around in wide open forests. They can no longer hunt over the prey.. Poor animals and birds have lost their natural homes. Visit the zoo and adopt Animals if possible.

    In the lap of the nature this is a beautiful place to visit to see the nature. Greenary all around. Visited this in winters. It has good views around. It's a trek like walk around up hill. A small bridge with beautiful blue colour good place for photography. This is a good place for trekkers n visitors to roam around. This is good place to visit if going to Coorg

    A wonderful and energetic experience . The staff is doing a superb job and they love to take care of these wild animals. All animals are in good health. Watching the cheetah triplets running was most fantastic shot. It's a huge zoo, if you have elderly company better to get a shuttle ride in nominal charges.

    There is no as such tourist spot set by government... But can have a glimpse of stream.... Place has been ruined by truck drivers and some travellers by littering and pooping around... Better stay on road and watch

    It's dense evergreen forest with elephant and tigers present. Make sure you enter the forest with the permission of Karnataka forest guards.

    Enjoyed riding at night under the moonlight. This Route between Kannur and mysore has few potholes Careful at night. Road is not completely abandoned, quite busier than expected

  • 4/5 Albin S. 5 years ago on Google • 32 reviews
    A nice palce to drive, full of curves, but should be careful as the road width is less. If you are stopping in the forest,watch out for monkeys.

    This place is next to road and has had an amazing refreshing time and we took a break near river side. The river flowing marks the border of Kerala and Karnataka.

  • 5/5 Subhodha H. 3 years ago on Google
    The best zoo I've seen. The tram facility makes it comfortable for oldies and young children. One can cover the entire zoo in an hour with the tram, while seeing all the animals for sufficient duration. One can also walk, which will take around 3hrs but with plenty of seats on the way it'll be fun for kids and younger families. Ample parking space, affordable price and variety of animals in good health along with a green canopy throughout the zoo makes it a wonderful experience. Must visit place for travellers coming to Mysore.

  • 5/5 Rama Narayanan N. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for a family outing! It's better to reach early before 10 AM to get a proper parking. I observed that people who had reached late after 11 AM parked right outside the zoo and the Traffic Police imposed a fine. The zoo is well maintained, free of plastic and litter. It has a beautiful lake, amazing wild animals, birds and snakes and a whole lot of greenery. We spent about 3 hours going through all of the animals, butterflies, trees and snakes. It's one of the must visit places in Mysuru.

  • 1/5 Renji S. 3 years ago on Google
    As I entered and began watching the birds and animals I didn't have a sense of amusement. I was not in a sense of wow. I was like how are they surviving in such small cages. This is the first time I visited a zoo. Really saddened to see the animals and birds kept in a cage We humans during this pandemic actually understands what being in a cage means I surely will never visit a zoo. It's saddening. But if u do like to visit there are drinking and restroom facilities. Phones are allowed. If you are carrying a camera you need pay a fee at the entrance There is a electric vehicle which takes u around the zoo. If not you can walk. It may take around one and half hour to cover the entire zoo. If you are with children and aged people it may take longer time than usual. No food items are allowed while roaming around. Also, during my visit I could see few kids immitating the animals which was a disastrous scene. I urge parents to teach kids to be well mannered

    Awesome. Do not miss. A place which defines how public places have to be maintained. Well laid routes. Clean cages. Healthy looking animals. Sanitisation. All in all . Kudos

  • 5/5 Arun Jyoti K. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic. Very very neat and clean. Excellently maintained. Completely safe and secured place. Very charming animals as well as there is a fantastic ampi theatre in side the Zoo where everything of the Zoo is being shown. I have seen so many Zoos and it's obviously one of the best because, I think it's not only a Zoo, but can be treated as a place of so many trees and trees which have changed the total inside atmosphere. There is a hospital for the wild animals with surgery unit and there is very big kitchen for the animals of the Zoo. Lovely restaurant is also there. Here, there are plenty of sitting arrangements, drinking water, mother and baby care rooms and very clean urinals and latrines for the visitors. Hope in future, it will further develop. No doubt it's marvellous.

    Worst & criminal minded security guards & officers.. They don't even know how to behave with people. They treat humans like animals.. I don't know how they treat animals🤷 Better not to go there..
