Excellent maintained facility ! One has options to walk through the 3 km stretch or avail the Electric buggy at an affordable cost. The zoo has maintained very near realistic environment for the animals and also has a wide variety of animals in its premise. Kids enjoy it a lot. There are good number of resting areas and water points for people to rest and refresh. Plastic and food are completely banned except food can he had at re-established areas. There is a good food court after around 75% of the walk for people to refresh. A gift store is also present if one is looking for a souvenir. All in all a day well spent.

One of the best tourist attraction 🧲 in Mysore. I first visited at the age of 5 with my parents. After 30yrs I find time to visit again with my wife and 1 yr old daughter. It was so exciting.This place have lot of space for car parking just opposite to zoo entrance, charge is minimal 50rs. Entrance have safety temperature checks and sanitizer.entrance ticket is 100 rs per adult. Inside zoo is around 2.5kms walk, which you dont realise while walking by watching to various species.kids above 3yrs will enjoy like anything. There is also electric vehicle which is chargeable for quick tour of zoo.

Warning to car owners, there are many beggars and children in parking area who lean and scratch the car. Zoo is Well maintained and various types of animals. If you go with kids, you have two options. Go walking, requires 3-4 hrs but kids get time to spot the animals ans enjoy. Else, take the electric vehicle that costs ₹150 per head and finish in an hour. In the electric vehicle you dont get your own time and have to see from vehicle most of the times. If you walk, youll be tired but satisfied.

One of the most visited place in mysore. This is a very nice zoo with a lot of wild life. Animals and birds are very healthy. You can easily spend around 3 to 4 hrs here with your loved ones and your kids.To make it plastic free zone they have taken a good initiative, which spread awareness among visitors.Toilets too available, they are not visible in main road. Monkeys are very aggressive near food point in the zoo.

Its is one of the most visited places in mysore after chamundi hills and the royal palace so the crowd is usually on the higher side. Visited fee is 100 for adults and 50 for kids from age 5 - 12. The zoo is very well maintained and is stretched over a 3km path to witness the animals, birds and reptile. For people who have difficulty the zoo provides cart riding experience where a person diving a electric cart shows around the zoo. Has plenty of toilets and cafeteria and sitting spaces. Would recommend everyone to visit the place.

Zoo took me to a different world where I felt absolute calm and very happy to know about the animals there.

Excellent location. Zoo with all amenities with educating experience. Must visit for families with young kids.. You can spend two to three hours to cover entire zoo..if you are in hurry.. take a battery car which will cost you additional ₹150 per person (2021) but can help you to cover the entire zoo in one hour..I will recommend battery car if you visit this place with senior citizens and toddlers. Otherwise walking is best mode to check this place.The entire zoo is greenery, shady and pleasant to walk, even in hot sunny day. Overall this zoo is definitely one of the best zoo in the country.

Good management.. good maintains of an animals .. i think some more things to be added.. and change according to the outside India trend.. but all over is worth for money.. just add to management.. manage drinking water on every few steps..

Beautiful place! So well maintained! A perfect 3 to 4 hour outing for children as well as adults!

Sri Chamarajrndra zoological park is amazing. Entry fee is there. No plastic bottles allowed. Very beautifully maintained zoological park compared to other zoological parks. Most of the animals you can see from very nearby. Follow the maps inside, so that dont miss out any animals. You can took electric car inside zoological park.

Words arent enough to describe the experience and enjoyment. So, Ill try to give you a brief . You can explore vast variety of animals from all over the world. I can definitely say that youre going to have lot of fun. Try to plan your visit on morning or the evening section, because animals will be taking rest at the afternoon section. The visit might take around 3 hours around, if you go with a slow and enjoyable pace of speed. I have visited different zoos in India, but this one is clearly the winner/king of all zoos in India. Hope that you will have a good experience, Enjoy yourself :)

One of the best zoo in the country,I reduced one star because not a single employee of the zoo was using mask during corona pandemic. From ticket counter,inside guard, battery vehicle driver,inside restaurant employees not a single person was even carrying a mask.Apart from that lots of animals and in well maintained atmosphere will surely entertain specially the kids. need almost 2 hours to cover by walking. battery vehicle available also in chargeable basis.

One of the best zoos in India. Children will love it. Many exotic animals not found in any other zoo can be seen here.

Well maintained and clean environment...... child care area ...mothers feeding room .......clean restrooms....well organised took 5 hours for complete tour including lake view ....#1 to do in Mysore

All the animals look weak and the conditions don’t look conducive for them. The Jaguar was in a small cage getting super restless.The place is clean and well maintained. Though the cages are too small be it snake, big animals or small.I just felt sorry for the animals , that they are caged for human entertainment in small set up.Banarghatta Bangalore in comparison has more space and freedom for these animals to move.Hope this can be fixed.

This is the best zoo I have visited in Karnataka. Its huge, approximately 3 to 4 kms walk. You can easily spend around 3 to 4 hrs here with your loved ones and your kids. There are plenty of animals, some unique ones which are not found in all the zoo. They have the white tiger, albumen black buck, white peafowl and baboons.

We went eary in the morning during weekday and not many people were there. Place was clean and well maintained. Battery operated vehicle can be taken but they will give you whole round in just 1 hour and will stop only on main attractions not on all the places, one can pay for 6 people and book it privately. It is good if you dont want to walk around. Parking for vehicles is opposite side of road.

It is one of the must-visit places in Mysore. I loved the overall experience. It is a 2.8km walk for the whole tour. There are shelters and places to drink water in between so that you can take rest and continue. There is a restaurant as well.

This zoo is great. The animals and birds here are adopted by different people so they arent really captured. Its spread over a wast area of about 3.5km and has lots of great species. Dont miss the giraffes on you way out!.It would be a very interesting and educative day out to kids.Its very clean and neat.Theres 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.

This is a very nice zoo with a lot of wild life. Animals and birds are very healthy. I liked the fact that no food is allowed inside the zoo. So one recommendation will be to eat and then go inside. If you are carrying anything they might take it out. It will take a 2-3 hours on foot, but there is also an electric vehicle available. There is RO water available in the zoo.

Good facilities of drinking water and toilets in zoo well maintained and animals r very attractive

Really nice zoopark.. maintenance is too good

Excellent thats the right word for it in short. Extremely well maintained, clean and with a variety of animals, birds and reptiles.. one should make a days trip to cover it all.

It has so many variety of birds and animals just loved it a lottt

One of the most visited place in mysore. A must Visit. The place is very tidy and well maintained. The animals of course its wonderful and they have spacious places now. Plastic free zone, better not to take food covered in plastic, otherwise you can take a ticket for each plastic item (10rp) and reimburse the same at the end of the tour. Overall very good.

Nice and clean zoo. We took the electric car which was costly and we went through entire zoo in around 1 hour. But someone can spend more than 4-5 hours hear easily

Nice experience.. Very good for kids. Got to see almost all the animals.

Its very neat and clean with family we went we enjoyed alot by seeing rare birds and animals especially my children enjoyed alot.

No shortage of wild life. Amazed to see such well organised zoo. Kids thoroughly enjoyed it! Must go place.. please pick a week day. Weekends are busy.

Well maintained and decently sized zoo. You can see wide varities of animals, reptiles etc. Youll probably spend around 2-3hrs walking around the zoo and if you arent up for walking theres battery powered vehicle that takes you on a ride around the zoo.

Its Small in mid City and very Nice.

Beautifully maintained. Very large place. Excellent time for kids and adults

Best place to entertain for children..but number of animals are decreased from past years... Hope its improving...

The Mysore Zoo is one of the best zoos not just in our country, but throughout the world! It has thousands of animals across hundreds of species for public view. It is a super fun place to visit, but is also educational!The zoo celebrate various animal days and educational programs. They also organise the Youth Club, a year long education and conservation program and summer camps for a couple of weeks during summer. These camps are a wonderful and hands-on experience for teenagers! The public can adopt animals to contribute to animal awareness and conservation.

Just about the best zoo in the country. Top notch facilities for the visitors as well as the animals! It’s great to see the animals taken care of at such good standards.And such a wide variety of animals and ample space for each species. Need a good part of the day to enjoy the place fully. Amazing experience for all ages. Very impressed.Along with entertaining the visitors, the zoo tries to educate and raise awareness too.

Our second visit and still a very good experience, highly recommended for kids.Zoo has ample amount of parking, though 60 rupees was not too much for the services provided.It is kept clean with clean bathrooms and drinking waters through out..Crowds can be issue on weekends, so plan on weekdays if possible.Nice canopy of trees so the hot sun was never an issue.. will recommend to avoid the electric cart if possible and explore the beauty on foot.. it tools us 5 hours including lunch and detailed walk around ..

Neatly maintained. Kids will surely live this place.

Great place to visit while in Mysore, specially for kids.

Wonderful place for family, we went at evenning there wasnt such animals to view, overall enthusiastic and Marvelous

One of the most cleanest well maintained zoo. The roads are wide and well shaded with amazing trees. The animal collection is good , that goes without mentioning but the overall ambience is very calming. Especially for kids enthusiastic about animals, this is one place not to be missed. The information boards placed everywhere are really useful .

This place was amazing, the variety of animals is amazing and by looking at them they look very happy and they are well fed and stuff. But my main issue with the place is the fact that lot of visitors come here and tease the animals and I didnt like that, it was irresponsible of the zoo officials to allow this to happen, the animals are doing their own thing and these uneducated people come and tease these poor creatures. I wanted to give the zoo 5 stars but I wanted this issue to be known to the zoo, I know you cant make it happen in a day or two but please look into this issue.Other than that I would definitely recommend Mysore zoo, a good place to spend time with family and see some amazing animals and birds.

Used to be one of my favorite places in mysore when I was a kid. It still is but sometimes the whole thing of seeing animals/birds in confined environment is hurting. But the folks in Mysore Zoo are doing tremendous job in maintaining this beautiful place and its inhabitants very well. The cleanliness is noticeable. Could see docs taking care of the birds/animals regularly. The place is huge and to see the full place in detail would take you the entire day and tonne of energy. Wish the zoo authority gives an option of boarding and deboaring the buggy at diff places across the zoo than only in beginning. Entry fee is very reasonable. The souvenir shop is def not worth as it has nothing which showcases this place but has all branded products. The canteen is pretty decent too but its in far end of the zoo. Must visit if you are first timer to mysore.

The best Zoo in India. It was started by the Maharaja of Mysore (and now it is officially named after him). It is one of the chief attractions in Mysore. This zoo was opened by the King in 1892. Now it is having an area of 157 acres ( including fir the bird sanctuary) and located near to the palace. This zoo is funded partly through adoption scheme also. Various celebrities, institutions and animal lovers had contributed in the scheme to help.There are 168 species of animals animals here including Giraffes, green anacondas, white peacocks, zebras etc.

Mysuru Zoo is a 157-acre zoo located near the palace in Mysuru, India. It is one of the oldest and most popular zoos in India, and is home to a wide range of species. Mysuru Zoo is one of the citys most popular attractions.

Management here is quite good. Animals like hippo, girafe, rhino and otter where new for me.

There definitely was a lot to take in. Some are well fed while some need better. Enclosures for most cats is a tard small and looks like they are a bit congested.

*Entry fee – 100 per person.*Parking – Paid parking outside the zoo*Accommodation – Approx 1000/- in Mysuru*Food - One cafe is inside the zoo.This had most of the birds, animals, and all types of snacks. I have seen almost all varieties of snacks there. Toilet and drinking water facilities are good inside the zoo campus. It will take 2-3 hours to visit inside the zoo. U will also take the electrical rikshaw there on extra charges. I will suggest if you are young then please enjoy through walking only. Please visit either morning or evening hours. Because it will become hot in afternoon hours.

One of the best zoo in india. A must visit to this place especially if kids are with you.The zoo have almost every animals, birds, reptiles, etc like jaguar, white Bengal tiger, lions, anaconda, giraffe, different species of parrots.The zoo is very big and have pick up vans. It takes upto two hours of your time if you want to enjoy at its fullest.Worth a visit.

One of the best Zoo i have ever come across.Lot of varities of animals.Electric buggies are available for cost, but not worth hiring them.Lot to walk but worth the pain.TUESDAY IS A HOLIDAY FOR ZOO

A wonderfully well maintained zoo. All the animals seem to be well taken care of. Word of warning - there is a lot of walking to do within the zoo; an estimated 3 plus kilometres. So if you are with a kid you have to carry or simply dont want to walk that much, its better that you opt for the battery operated guided tour cars. Places to sit and RO water points are scattered all over the zoo. Wonderful experience overall.

Zoological garden with varieties of animals, birds. Very good place for young kids to enjoy.

Visited in September 2021. There is literally nothing to see right now. They charged less for ticket, but its still not worth. Literally youll be peeking at every cage to find no animals. After all you have come here yo see animals and not trees. But there is nothing except Elephants, some rarely locatable tigers, Giraffe and Zebras. Lions are poorly fed, theyve become leaner. Before Covid it used to be wonderful with so many cheering exotic birds and other lively animals, but all cages are empty now. There is no life right now, only silence. Dont visit now. Try after another year if Covid gets over, otherwise ditch next year too. Good luck.

Highly maintained, clean and tidy. Good number of animals, all facilities for visitors include clean drinking water, toilets and restaurants available inside.

A lot species of birds and animals ,good service, extremely beautiful place and heaven for wildlife lovers..

One of the best zoo I have visited with African Elephants, variety of deers, lots of snakes including Anaconda. Good green and animals in the wild.

Maintained very well. Kids will love the place. Electric vehicle is good option to cover the complete zoo with kids.

Nice place If you have more time then most Visit, BCz once you enter You need atlist 2 Hour to see all Zoo with photos 30+ point😂 Nice Zoo clain and neet, I think the ticket Fair is More. It should be Normal they took 400 Rs INR 4of us. Adult...And after that we enter.. started with beautiful Birds... An all. Animal..Dont expect all animals here.. only common Animal are available..Most of animals missing....Restroom and basic All the Service available. Including food+ beverage..if you visit Mysore and u have lots of time . Then. Must go here .Also see the some pics I took.

One of the great zoos I had ever visited. You will be able to see all the species which you wanted to. Great environment and a jungle like habitat had been created for animals . Species from Africa like African elephant and African Cheetah are also there even numerous species of birds present here just at a price of 80 Rs . All of you must visit this if you are in Mysore.

Nice palce to visit, approx need 2-3 hrs to have a look peacefully.

Best zoo in South India. If you are ready to walk for around 3 kms you can walk around and see all animals. Battery vehicle also available for 150 per head. Well maintained zoo and animals look healthy and active. Many trees around which makes it better and wont feel so humid. Takes at least 3 hours to cover the whole distance. Must visit place

Nicely maintained zoo. Kids will love the place.

4 hours it takes if one goes by walk inside with a 2 yr old .1 to 1.5 hour by battery operated vehicle. Going by walk is better for having a clear view of the animals. Out of 4 kms inside the park , first 2 kms not much animals seen. most other animals are located in final 2 kms. Parking available near the zoo as well as few hundred metres away from the zoo. Hotel near the zoo (outside)serves good food.

What a Zoo! Large, clean, well-organized and beautiful. Large varieties of animals, birds, reptiles, etc. many of them exotic. Many varities of foreign animals which is rarity in India. All sheltered in large and clean open enclosures. Enclosures are clean and lay-out is in a manner providing easy visibility of the animals. Provision of viewing gallery with shades at many enclosures. Detailed information about animals and species prominently displayed. At many places, personal information like Name and date of Birth of animals also displayed.It takes easily more than 3 Hours to visit zoo on legs (about 3 kms.) and less than 1 and Half hour by battery operated vehicles. Drivers of Battery operated vehicles also inform and guide about various animals. R.O. purified water, toilets and baby care units are at regular intervals. Food joint and ice-cream parlour also situate inside. Amphi-theatre under construction. Do visit Mysore, to see this Zoo.

It is one of favourite place to visit in mysuru with family and kids to see different type of animals.Better to visit during mansoonZoo Visit Tickets is so cheap to visit in such low Rs. 75

Its one of the most famous place in Mysore.Its very nice to njoy with family and kids can see all type of animals and birds.

Lot of animals. Wide area.Big parking space against the zoo.Animals are lazy and old..

Tuesday Closed !!!!Mysore Zoo known as Shri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens .Entry ticket are at minimal rates of 60 & 30 Adult and child .Huge area of 157arcrs .timing is of 8.30 am to 5.30 pm IST.They provide Battery golf car for old and pregnant ladies .best part is they provide free water and washroom in every 600 to 700 mtrs.

Its was amazing zoo. All animals are there. It took minimum 3 hours to see all the animals. Birds are also there.

Good to see, specially for kids. Better to compare with Bannerghatta Bangalore zoo.

Well-maintained zoo. Best time to visit is as soon as it opens at 8:30 am. The animals are active and you get to see them moving. I took the electric car guided tour. Recommend taking this tour and then walk around and spend as much as you want. Good place to take the children too.

A very well maintained Zoo which has many exotic wild animals from all around the world. The animals are well kept and live in a peaceful habitat with large areas to themselves. The area is huge & it takes a lot of time to cover the entire zoo area. One has the option to explore the zoo on a golf cart too by paying some nominal charge at the counter. Overall a must visit place!

Good place. Get to see a lot of animals you will see only on National Geographic

Nobody will inform you at the ticket counter if the zoo is partially closed for any maintenance activity. Half of the zoo was entry restricted due to maintenance or animal was missing in the cage....Though the animals are inside the cage, management should look fo providing animals larger space... Zoo has all fancy wide roads, garden, fountains but few animals are kept in really tiny cages 🙁..

Wooww.. Nice place to visit with family ..kids will love it

A perfectly maintained place. The zoo authority wont let you to litter around, theyll provide you with paper bags to carry your foodstuffs. The zoo is very large with birds and animals of all sorts and also of rare species... Hundreds of soothing trees have been planted. Eateries and cafeterias available nearby.

Well kept animals but most of the cages are empty.

One of the best zoos visited so far. Space provided for the animals is much bigger so doesnt give them a caged feeling, and also care is being taken to make their environment as close to their natural habitat. Great variety of species. At the end we loved the magnificent Giraffes who were so graceful and elegant. It will take at least around 3km of walking to cover the entire Zoo, but its really worth it. Apart from the Fauna also there are magnificent trees and flowers all over the Zoo that adds to the overall experience. Definitely recommended.

Very clean and must visit.Tiger, lion, hippos and rhinos are one of the main attraction

Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Garden is known as a mysuru zoo, spread in 157 acres and show the natural beutifull animal and birds. This zoo is eco friendly environment and managed a very clean and green garden or pathways and entry fees is 60 rs. Very cheap price.

Good place to visit. Well maintained must visit place in mysuru

One of the best zoos in india. Well maintained exhibits. The premises is very clean. Home to some exotic birds such as grey macaws and other colourful birds. Its star exhibit is white tiger. Giraffes, elephants, hippos, rhinos, liye na, cheetahs and much more. I will recommend taking battery tour which takes about 1 hour or you can spend about 3 to 4 hours at your leisure as the zoo is big and and exhibits are plenty. The moderate mysuru weather also adds to the charm of the zoo.

Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens is also called as Mysuru Zoo and it has 157-acre located near the palace in near Mysuru Palace. It is one of the oldest and most popular zoos in India, and is home to a wide range of species (168). Mysuru Zoo is one of the citys most popular attractions

Nice but felt animals are bit less compared to few year back

Very well maintained. Very clean. Animals seem to be taken care of well. Buggy facility is very useful.

We get to see many undiscovered animals hereWe can see them here very poor and will which in not everywhereThanks

You can enjoy a lot and you just feel like anything. its near by Mysore palace.

Most lovely zoo i have ever seen so far

It is well maintained. You can spend half a day as it is cool comparing outside temperature. Entry ticket rate has been increased to RS.100. canteen, shops, toilets etc. are well maintained.

Zoo is good with wide variety of animals, birds and even plants and trees, from all over the world.Another thing which is really helpful is the info board displayed in front of each animal type. This board contains animal name, its biological name and also its uniqueness, which is really very informative.Zoo is very well maintained. It is difficult to find even a single piece of plastic anywhere in the zoo.But looks like animals have become very weak and I also observed that the food that was being kept for animal was very less.Some of the animals are very less in number.Minimum 3 hours is needed to just see all the animals. It would take more time, if going through the info of each animal is also intended.Entry fees is 100/head, which is costly, as the animals maintenance would be taken care by the people adapting the animal.

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. Its a huge zoo, if you have elderly company better to get a shuttle ride in nominal charges.

A weekend getaway for kids...they would love it, you need to walk thats for sure.No eatables allowed inside, but carry some chocolates if you have kid. A good collection of animals but for some animals the description was not available. Overall a good experience

Post lockdown the zoo has been changed way better.. The gardening is well done. The Animals especially Anaconda (4) is awsome

This is much much better than the Bannerghatta national park with the variety of wild animals they have here. But some animals were very old and they were not in good shape, it clearly shows that they dont feed it properly. If you have kids this place is a must visit. Enjoy!!

Good good place for kids, they will enjoy the lot

Must visit zoo..mysore zoo is the only zoo in Asia in which gorilla 🦍 is there. They bring New gorilla available to see after 25 September 2021.

It been long time I visited mysuru zoo may be after 15 years. We can find varieties of species but few of them are very less in quantity like 2 lions, 2 leopards etc.Zoo is very well maintained and they don’t allow eatables to carry on walk through. It would take 3-4 hours to see entire zoo.Birds watch is very nice compared to wild animals. Seems animals look like they are not feeding food properly and sick.Overall, I can say it’s neither good nor bad. One time watch and children will enjoy more.TICKET PRICE: ₹100/person(weekends), ₹80/person(weekdays) and children (₹50).TUESDAY IS HOLIDAY.

Mysore zoo is a 157-acre (64 ha) zoo located near the palace. It is one of the oldest and most popular zoos, and is home to a wide range of species (168). Mysore Zoo is one of the citys most popular attractions.While mainly depending on entry fees for its financing, an adoption scheme introduced in the early 2000s has been a success. Celebrities, institutions, animal lovers and volunteers of various clubs in the zoo have contributed directly to the welfare of the zoo inhabitants.

What a wonderful zoo!! They have maintained it so well. Its a big area to cover, the exit is around 3 kilometer away. However, they have added instructions everywhere, there are places to sit and relax as well.Various animals can be seen with their description. Loved it.

Paid 100 for audults and 50 for kids as entry free. 20% of animals are missing due to maintenance and rest of the a animals and birds look like they are too old and cant even move their body and are about to checkout. Most of the animals are not cleaned and their places stink like a indian railway bathrooms so we couldnt even stay near nimals for more than 10 seconds. This is the state of biggest zoo in Karnataka. If you are planning to visit then dont go with high expectation.

No doubt that this zoo has been rated as one of the best in India. The zoo is huge spread over 150+ acres. There are all sorts of animal related services available right inside the zoo. The best way to visit is in a electrical vehicle which takes you on a one hour tour. The animals are well feed and the cleanliness inside is great.
