Indoor outing ideas in Bangalore for families, friends and office teams
Ideas by who's going
Families with kids: Try the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum, the planetarium, or Aquarium Paradise. Kids from 80 cm to 140 cm pay ₹449 on weekdays at the aquarium, and there's a daily diver feeding at 6:30 PM. See indoor family outings.
Friends: Escape rooms, bowling, gaming arcades and the aquarium. With B2G1, three friends pay for two when booked a day ahead. Add Snow City next door; check their current fees.
Couples: An evening at the aquarium works: walk the tunnel, sit in the ocean-view lounge and catch the 7:40 PM mermaid show on Wednesdays, Saturdays or Sundays, subject to availability. Women 18+ get buy 1 get 1 free on Wednesdays with FUNWEDNESDAY.
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.
Office teams and schools: For larger groups, request a quote on the group bookings page. Bags aren't allowed and there's no bag storage, so plan for laptops and backpacks to stay on the bus. See indoor team outings.
Rainy day: pick places where everything is under one roof. At Palace Grounds, the aquarium and Snow City are next to each other, so a rainy afternoon needs only one trip.
