Indoor birthday party venues in Bangalore: the aquarium option
Types of indoor birthday venues in Bangalore
- Soft play and play zones: found in most malls and many neighbourhoods. Best for toddlers and young kids.
- Game zones: arcades, bowling and laser tag, usually in malls. Better for older kids and teens.
- Snow City at Palace Grounds: an indoor snow park in the same complex as the aquarium. Check their party options and fees.
- Restaurants with party rooms: food-first parties with little activity.
- Aquarium Paradise: an outing-style party where the group walks the underwater tunnel, sees the jellyfish room and, on show days, watches a mermaid.
How an aquarium birthday works
The group walks through the aquarium together, which takes 1 to 2 hours. Plan the date around the extras:
- Mermaid show: Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, free with entry and subject to availability. Confirm on the mermaid page.
- Fish feeding: 6:30 PM daily, by an expert diver.
- Mermaid Makeover Experience: for kids, bookable on the offers page. No price is published online, so ask when you book.
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.
For group rates, send your date and headcount through the group bookings page or call +91 96063 11881.
