Couple parks in Bangalore: where to go for a quiet date

Parks couples actually go to

• Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Old trees, a lake and the glass house. Big enough to find a quiet bench. Check their current fees and timings.
• Cubbon Park. Shaded avenues and lawns in the middle of the city, close to Cubbon Park metro. Good for a morning walk before brunch.
• Sankey Tank. A lakeside walking path in Malleswaram and Sadashivanagar. Evenings are popular.
• Hebbal Lake. Quieter, with birds on the water and views across the lake.
• Palace Grounds area. Bangalore Palace and the open grounds around it, next to J.C. Nagar and RT Nagar.

We keep a longer list of famous parks for couples and lovers' spots in Bangalore.

Tips for a park date

• Go on a weekday morning or late afternoon if you want space to yourselves.
• Public parks have their own rules and closing times. Check them before you go.
• Carry water and keep the evening plan simple; parks close before restaurants do.

When it rains, or you want somewhere indoors

Bangalore weather can turn quickly. Aquarium Paradise is indoors and open every day from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Couples tend to like:

• The underwater tunnel, which is India's longest.
• The jellyfish room, with reflective walls that make good photos on a phone.
• The ocean-view seating lounge, a place to sit and talk.
• The 7:40 PM mermaid show on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, subject to availability. Confirm on the mermaid page.

Note: Mermaid show timings keep changing. Always call +91 96063 11881 or check with the staff at the ticket counter before you come for the mermaid show.

A visit takes 1 to 2 hours. Tickets are ₹499 per adult on weekdays and ₹599 on weekends; AQUA100 takes ₹100 off an online booking on the tickets page. Read our aquarium date guide for a full plan.

For a more active date

Fun World, in the same complex, has 90+ rides and Water World. Adult tickets are ₹1,199 on weekdays. Water rides need 100% nylon clothing, which you can buy at the venue.
