The underwater kind of adventure
Not every adventure needs a harness. At Aquarium Paradise you walk through what we call India's longest underwater tunnel, then step into a jellyfish room where reflective walls play with your sense of space. Look for the alligator gar and moray eel in the tanks, and stay for the diver who feeds the fish at 6:30 PM. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, the complimentary mermaid show runs at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, subject to availability.
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.

Want more adrenaline? Fun World is next door
Fun World's rides are mostly outdoors, but it's the obvious add-on. It has 90+ rides including Tsunami, Shark Ride and Techno Jump, and Water World with slides and wave pools. One ticket covers both; adults pay ₹1,199 on weekdays. Some water attractions need a minimum height of 48 inches, and 100% nylon clothing is mandatory on water rides. See Fun World's rides.
A good split: rides in the morning, then cool down at the aquarium in the late afternoon. COMBO20 gives 20% off a combined ticket. For group outings, see indoor team building and trampoline parks in Bangalore.
