Marine park in Bangalore: what you can see at Aquarium Paradise
What counts as a marine park here
People search "marine park" for different things. Some want dolphins and outdoor shows, which we don't have. Others want to see sea life up close without leaving the city. That second visit is what we offer, under one roof and out of the rain.
Inside Aquarium Paradise
- Underwater tunnel: walk through with fish swimming above and around you.
- Marine and freshwater tanks: look for the moray eel, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish.
- Jellyfish room: reflective walls make the jellyfish look like they go on forever.
- Waterfalls and lounge: indoor man-made waterfalls and an ocean-view seating lounge for a break.
- Daily fish-feeding: an expert diver feeds the fish at 6:30 PM.
- 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. Timings can change, so check the mermaid page or 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.
The building also has what we call India's first ocean restaurant. See the fish page for the species list.
