Virtual reality experiences in Bangalore, and a real underwater walk instead
Where VR is in Bangalore
- Mall arcades: many large malls have gaming zones with VR rides and headset games. Check each one's current prices.
- Dedicated VR centres: some areas have standalone VR gaming spaces for groups and parties.
- Science museums: the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum has interactive galleries that suit curious kids.
We don't run VR, and we won't pretend to. But many people searching for VR want something that feels different from a normal day out. That's where a real-world option can be better.
The real version: an underwater tunnel
At Aquarium Paradise you walk through India's longest underwater tunnel (our official claim) with fish moving above and around you. There's no headset and no time limit per session. You also get:
- A jellyfish room with reflective walls that plays with your sense of space
- Interactive zones and educational displays
- Indoor man-made waterfalls and an ocean-view lounge
- Fish-feeding by an expert diver at 6:30 PM every day
- A complimentary mermaid show on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, subject to availability. Confirm at the counter.
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.
