Ocean exploration in Bangalore without leaving the city
An ocean route through the aquarium
Think of the visit as a walk from the surface to the deep:
- The waterfalls: indoor man-made waterfalls at the start set the mood.
- The galleries: freshwater and marine fish side by side, so you can compare the two.
- The tunnel: India's longest underwater tunnel, with fish above and around you.
- The jellyfish room: reflective walls make it feel like open water.
- The lounge: an ocean-view seating lounge to sit and watch.
Ocean creatures to look for
- Moray eel: hides in rocks with only its head out.
- Tarpon: large, silver and fast.
- Alligator gar: long jaws, an old-looking fish.
- Sun catfish: look for its spots.
