About Cubbon Park

India’s gardens are not just patches of greenery—they are reflections of history, culture, and artistry. 🌍✈️ Your passport to unlocking unmatched travel experiences awaits. Let's be mindful of our impact— trees have feelings too!

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. 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.

This public park was first named as Meade’s Park after Sir John Meade, the acting Commissioner of Mysuru in 1870 and finally renamed as Cubbon Park after the longest-serving commissioner of the time, Sir Mark Cubbon.
