Entertainment
To catch the latest releases, check out Chamundeshwari Talkies (Sayyaji Rao Road, Tel: 2520732), Gayathri Talkies (Chamaraja Road, Tel: 2443568), Lido (Chandragupta Road, Tel: 2420885) and New Opera Talkies (Curzon Park Road, Tel: 2443386). Visit the Devaraja Fruit and Vegetable Market. A typical Indian market square, it makes an ideal subject for photography, with its rainbow palate ofcolours, people, animals, smells and sounds. Stretching all the way through Sayaji Road, this market is a great place to view the local life and people. Make a trip to the Folklore Museum in the Mysore University Campus. It contains exquisite exhibits from rural areas, including wooden houses, masks, leather puppets, ceremonial dresses and more. Visit the Sri Ranga Pavilion. It houses two royal coaches that formed part of the train of Maharaja of Mysore, reflecting the era of bygone splendour. Interestingly, the beautifully carved wooden pillars, doors and balustrades from the old Srirangapatna Railway Station have been used in the construction of this pavilion.
Nightlife
Mysore is just breaking out of the traditional mould and night life is still quite young. The most popular is Planet X, an Egyptian style hookah bar at the foot of the Chamundi hills. Just Blues is another local favourite. Most watering holes around the city close by 11pm.
Kidding around
GRS Fantasy Park On the way to Brindavan Gardens, there are water games, amusement rides, kid's pool and a food court here. You can also shake a leg at the discotheque here. Wonderla Around 28 km from Mysore, it makes for a great weekend getaway with its fun-filled water rides and sports. The Lazy River and its waves will engulf you in a rhapsody you do not want to get out of. Wonderla Bamba, Techno Jump, the House of Horrors, and Y-Scream are some unforgettable rides. The laser show on Sunday is a big draw. Fun Fort Theme rides, an aqua dance floor, play pools, an African settlement, Baghdad Street, Egyptian art, and amphitheatre ensure the fort is indeed fun. Fun Fort is located in the heart of Srirangapatnam on the Bangalore-Mysore Highway. Planet X The locals vouch it is the best entertainment complex in the city. About 5 km from the zoo and close to the Lalitha Mahal Palace, it offers Go- carting, bowling, video games, and several restaurants.
