How the two compare

Namma Bengaluru Aquarium is a smaller city aquarium. Its fees, hours and exhibits can change, so check their current fees and timings before you go. Here is what we can tell you for certain about our side:

• Location: Palace Grounds, Jayamahal Main Road, opposite TV Tower, inside the Fun World complex, with Snow City next door.
• Time needed: 1 to 2 hours.
• Highlights: India's longest underwater tunnel, a jellyfish room with reflective walls, indoor waterfalls and an ocean-view seating lounge.
• Fish: freshwater and marine species, including moray eel, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish.
• Live moments: fish-feeding by a diver daily at 6:30 PM, and a complimentary mermaid show on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, subject to availability.
• Food: what we call India's first ocean restaurant is on site. Outside food is not allowed.

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.

Which one should you pick

If you want a short, low-cost look at fish and are already near Cubbon Park, a smaller aquarium may suit you. If you want a proper outing with a tunnel walk, a live show and a meal, Aquarium Paradise gives you more for one ticket, and you can add Fun World or Snow City in the same complex.

Families with young kids tend to time their visit around the mermaid show timings. Couples often come in the evening for the 6:30 PM feeding. Our longer side-by-side guide covers more detail.
