So Bangaloreans like me who still havent visited this park, you know what you are missing. Here we saw two mobile libraries parked outside the library. This building is surrounded by lush greenery of the park on three sides and a beautiful rose garden in the front. The park has well laid paths for people to enjoy their nature walk.

If you plan to take a safari tour or visit specialized pavilions (such as the aquarium or nocturnal house), it is better to plan a half-day visit. To see most of the enclosures and enjoy a leisurely walk along the shady alleys, we recommend setting aside at least 3–5 hours. Over time, the status of the site changed, and it became accessible to the general public. At that time, it was an exclusive collection of rare and exotic animals intended solely for the royal family and their high-ranking guests. The zoo was initiated by Maharaja Sri Chamaraja Wodeyar X, who originally envisioned it as a private menagerie on the grounds of his summer palace. For those traveling by their own or a rented car, there is a large parking area near the entrance.
