Since its inception, it has seen number of renovations and has undergone many expansion plans. The zoo is situated on the outskirts of Mysore and is home to a myriad of wild-species.

The park also breeds numerous exotic animal species like Eland Antelope, Emus, Barberry sheep, Giraffe and Kangaroos, which are then distributed to several zoos both in India and abroad. The zoo is open on all days except Tuesday
