Indoor animal experience in Bangalore: fish, eels and jellyfish
The animals you will see
- Moray eel: a long fish that tucks itself into rock gaps. Kids love spotting its head poking out.
- Alligator gar: a big freshwater fish with a crocodile-like snout.
- Tarpon: a large, silvery fish that flashes in the light.
- Sun catfish: patterned and easy to spot near the bottom.
- Jellyfish: in their own room with reflective walls.
The full list is on our fish page. Educational displays name what is in each tank.
Ways to get closer
- The underwater tunnel: India's longest. Fish swim above and around you, which is the closest most people get to marine life without diving.
- Fish feeding at 6:30 PM: an expert diver feeds the fish every day. Shy fish come out and the tanks get busy.
- Interactive zones: for kids who want to learn while they look.
- The mermaid show: on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, 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.
An honest note
We are an aquarium, so the animals here are aquatic. There is no petting, and pets are not allowed in. If your child wants land animals, Bannerghatta Biological Park on the city's edge has a zoo and safari (check their current fees), though most of it is outdoors. For a rainy day or a hot afternoon, the aquarium is the indoor choice.
