Fish museum in Bangalore: where to see fish up close

Where to see fish in Bangalore

• Aquarium Paradise, Palace Grounds: freshwater and marine fish, an underwater tunnel and a jellyfish room.
• The government aquarium in Cubbon Park: an older, smaller aquarium in the city centre. Check their current fees and timings. We compare the two on our Aquarium Paradise vs Namma Bengaluru aquarium page.
• Science museums: the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum covers science more broadly, if your group wants a museum day.

The museum side of Aquarium Paradise

We're an aquarium, not a museum, but a lot of the visit works like one:

• Educational displays next to the tanks explain the fish and where they live.
• Interactive zones let kids learn by doing.
• Named species to look for: the moray eel, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish.
• Jellyfish room with reflective walls.
• Daily feeding at 6:30 PM by an expert diver, a good time to watch fish behaviour.

The fish page lists what's on show now.

Ticket prices

Book on the tickets page. Schools and larger groups can ask for a quote on the group bookings page.

Getting there

We're on Jayamahal Main Road, opposite TV Tower, J.C. Nagar, in the same complex as Fun World and Snow City. The nearest metro is Cubbon Park on the Purple Line, about 3.4 km away; take an auto or cab from there.

Good for school visits

A walk-through with displays suits a class trip. Allow 1 to 2 hours. Bags aren't allowed and there is no bag storage, so ask students to leave backpacks on the bus. Outside food isn't allowed, though water bottles are. See school trips to the aquarium for planning help.
