Aquarium experience in Bangalore: walk under the water at Aquarium Paradise
How the visit flows
- The tunnel: fish swim over and beside you as you walk. Look for the moray eel, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish.
- The jellyfish room: low light and mirrored walls make the jellyfish appear to stretch on in every direction.
- Indoor waterfalls: man-made falls built into the space.
- Interactive zones and educational displays: for kids who want to know what they just saw.
- Ocean-view seating lounge: sit, slow down and watch the tanks.
The full route takes 1 to 2 hours.
Live moments
- 6:30 PM daily: an expert diver feeds the fish.
- Mermaid show: Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, around 10 minutes each, free with entry and subject to availability. Management can change days and times, so confirm on the mermaid page.
- Mermaid Makeover Experience: for kids, bookable on the offers 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.
