Interactive aquarium in Bangalore: feeding, shows and hands-on zones
What you can do, not just look at
- Interactive zones: spaces built for children to learn by doing, along the route.
- Educational displays: panels that explain the fish in each tank, useful for school projects.
- Walk the underwater tunnel: India's longest, where fish swim over and around you.
- Jellyfish room: reflective walls make it feel like you are inside the tank.
- Diver feeding at 6:30 PM: an expert diver feeds the fish while you watch.
- Mermaid show: complimentary, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, about 10 minutes each, subject to availability. Confirm on the mermaid page or at the counter.
- Mermaid Makeover Experience: a dress-up experience for kids, bookable on the offers 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.
Kids get the most from the visit when an adult reads the displays with them, then points out the same fish in the tunnel.
Plan around the live moments
For the most to do, visit on a Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday and arrive around 5:00 PM. You can catch the 5:00 PM mermaid show, walk the galleries, and be in place for the 6:30 PM feeding. Ticket counters close at 7:15 PM.
