Namma Bengaluru Aquarium: what to know, and an alternative at Palace Grounds
Why people mix them up
Both are aquarium attractions in Bengaluru, and searches for one often show the other. Before you go, check which venue you have booked, since they are at different addresses and use different tickets.

How to choose
We will not compare prices or timings for another venue, as those can change. Questions worth asking about any aquarium:
- Is it close to where you live or are staying?
- Does it have a tunnel, live shows or feeding sessions?
- Can you add another attraction on the same trip?
- What are the bag, food and camera rules?
At Palace Grounds, you can add Fun World and Snow City from the same complex. We are near RT Nagar, Hebbal, JC Nagar and Sadashivanagar, and Cubbon Park metro is about 3.4 km away.
