Marine life experience in Bangalore
How the visit flows
- Freshwater and marine galleries: tanks with species such as moray eels, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish. Educational displays explain what you are looking at.
- The underwater tunnel: you walk through with fish above and around you.
- Jellyfish room: reflective walls make a small room feel endless.
- Waterfalls and lounge: indoor man-made waterfalls and an ocean-view seating lounge to pause.
- Ocean restaurant: what the aquarium calls India's first ocean restaurant.
A full visit takes 1 to 2 hours. See the species list on the fish page.

What we do not have
To set expectations: we do not list sea turtles, sharks or ray feeding. If you have read about those elsewhere, check that venue directly. What we offer is a tunnel walk, a jellyfish room, big freshwater and marine fish, and a daily diver feeding.
Other marine and nature stops
The government aquarium near Cubbon Park is older and smaller, mostly freshwater. Bannerghatta Biological Park is the city's main animal park. Check their current fees and timings. Our comparison page, Namma Bengaluru aquarium vs Aquarium Paradise, explains the difference.
