Last weekend we took off to Mysore for our two year old's first visit to the zoo. We had heard a lot about the zoo, and it didn't disappoint us at all. Its pretty big, with a wide variety of animals, well-maintained and very green! The weather was just right too!!
Some tips before you visit:
1. Try to visit on a week-day to avoid the rush, although off-season is not so crowded. Tuesdays is off day. Tickets can be purchased online.
2. On Sundays, the zoo opens at 12 noon, so be sure to be on time and have lots of time on hand (it took us almost 5 hours to walk around with some breaks of course)
3. Plastic bottles attract a deposit that you need to pay at the gate which is refundable - a nice way of avoiding plastic waste lying around the zoo.
4. There is only one refreshment center close to the exit so you may want to carry some re-fill.
5. Remember not to litter. Cheers to the staff for maintaining the zoo really well - its by far the cleanest zoo I have come across in India.
Here are some visual treats from our visit:
If you are an animal lover or generally an enthu parent, Mysore zoo is a must see.
For animal lovers, the zoo has an adoption program that you may be interested in. Do check it out at this link: http://mysorezoo.info/adoption/
