Jellyfish in Bangalore: the jellyfish room at Aquarium Paradise
What the jellyfish room is like
The room is lit low so the tanks glow. Its walls are reflective, so the jellyfish seem to repeat around you. People slow down here, watch the jellyfish pulse and drift, and take a lot of photos.
Photo tips
- Phone photos and videos are allowed. Professional cameras and shoots need prior permission.
- Turn off flash. It bounces off the glass and the mirrored walls.
- Shoot a short video. Moving jellyfish look better than still shots.
- Weekday mornings after 10:30 AM opening are usually easier for photos.
If you are planning a couple shoot or a pre-wedding session, read photoshoot inside the aquarium first.
