Indoor nature experience in Bangalore: waterfalls, fish and jellyfish

Nature you can see indoors

• Indoor waterfalls: man-made falls you can sit near.
• River and lake fish: freshwater species such as the alligator gar and sun catfish.
• Sea fish: marine species such as the moray eel and tarpon.
• Jellyfish: in a room with reflective walls.
• The tunnel: India's longest underwater tunnel.

A calm way to spend an hour

There are no rides here. You walk at your own pace, sit in the ocean-view seating lounge, and watch. It suits people who want something quiet indoors on a hot or rainy day. Plan 1 to 2 hours. Families with small children like it for the same reason: nothing is loud or fast, and kids can stop at any tank for as long as they want.

For a livelier moment, come for the 6:30 PM fish-feeding by an expert diver. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, there is a short mermaid show at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, free with entry and subject to availability. Check the mermaid 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.
