Indoor play areas in Bangalore
Types of indoor play areas
- Soft play zones: foam blocks, slides and ball pits, usually in malls. Mostly for toddlers and preschoolers.
- Trampoline parks: for older kids. Most ask for grip socks.
- Climbing and adventure zones: walls, nets and obstacle courses with staff supervision.
- Arcades: game machines, often next to cinemas and food courts.
What to check before you book
- Age and height limits for each zone.
- Whether you pay per hour or per session.
- Sock rules and whether parents can enter.
- Whether food is allowed or sold inside.
When play zones are not enough
Play areas burn energy, but kids remember the days when they saw something new. Aquarium Paradise gives them a walk through what it calls India's longest underwater tunnel, a jellyfish room with reflective walls, indoor waterfalls and interactive zones with educational displays. There is no age restriction, and a visit takes 1 to 2 hours, about the same as a play-zone session.
Plan around the shows. An expert diver feeds the fish every day at 6:30 PM. A mermaid show runs on 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. Kids can also book a Mermaid Makeover Experience; see mermaid makeover for kids.
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.
