It was a great place to visit since my childhood. The most advantage of Nandan kanan over other zoo are it's build and located inside of a forest, so the animals are more or less enjoying forest alike atmosphere . Extremely big with respect to the area . However mismanagement is there every where. Need to be taken care with extremely special care to preserve this gem

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.

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.

Fundera Park is a place where your complete family can enjoy your holidays with a new experience. We have more than 300 exotic non indian birds and none of them are caged and you can enter into their aviary. Also we have a petting farm, where your children can have hands on experience. We have the first 7D Cinema in Yelagiri and a recently introduced VR center and horror house as well. Attention: For all of you visiting us, do look out for our above logo with "Fundera". Kindly, don't get misled by a neighbouring park under the name Fundara with a similar logo. We are two separate entities and we cannot claim any responsibilities for any events/happenings there.

If you are going with a family with kids, this place is a must visit. Kids thoroughly enjoyed here. You can easily spend 1-2 hours in this. This park has all the farm animals - rabbits, guinea pigs, pony horse, goats, cows, different species of hens and roosters from different parts of the world, colorful chickens, and different kinds of parrots. Fees: Entrance fees per adult is 300/-. I guess if the kid's age is 6 or below, the entrance is free. We too felt the price is little on the higher side, but it was totally worth it. In this 300, you get to see the entire farm animals park + any one of the following: 7D cinema, fish spa, paint ball and few more things. We chose fish spa for ourselves, and we took our kids to 7D cinema. You can chose an activity separately by paying 100/-. Both the experiences were good. Kids below below 3 years are not allowed in 7D cinema. Farm Animals: We visited the place at morning 8.30 (opening time) itself. The animals were being moved in cages to their respective compartments. The kids were very excited to see them. The staffs over there, were very courteous and allowed us to touch the animals. Parrots: This is the main place where your kids can enjoy a lot. At the entrance of parrot cage, you will be given handful of sunflower seeds. You need to feed them (not all at a time) to the parrots there. Don't miss to feed the bird 'funky'. He is the biggest in the cage who scares other parrots. Cafeteria: Make sure you take something to eat for your kids. There is no restriction on taking the food items inside. But you are not allowed to feed them to the animals. We ordered noodles for our kids at the rate of 50/- per plate. We felt that was costly for a plate of noodles. Overall experience: This is a must place to visit once when you are in Yelagiri. Anyway, you don't have many places to visit in Yelagiri other than this, boating and couple of trekking and temple places. So, make sure this is on your list to visit first in the morning. Caution: There is another park with almost the same name 'fundora park' at the entrance of this park. Make sure you don't fall prey into that dirty trick.
