Places to take kids in Bangalore: fish, rides, parks and museums

Here is how we would pick, based on what your kids like.

Animals and nature

• Aquarium Paradise: walk through India's longest underwater tunnel, spot a moray eel or alligator gar, and watch a diver feed the fish at 6:30 PM.
• Bannerghatta Biological Park: on the city's southern edge, with a zoo and safari. Check their current fees.
• Lalbagh: trees, a lake and the glass house.

Science and learning

• Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum: hands-on science exhibits near Cubbon Park.
• Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium: sky shows for older kids.
• Our aquarium's educational displays and interactive zones fit here too.

Rides and water

• Fun World: 90+ rides including a kids zone, plus Water World with wave pools and family splash zones. Child tickets (80 cm to 140 cm) cost ₹999 and cover both parks.
• Snow City: indoor snow play in the same complex. Check their current fees.
• Wonderla: a larger amusement park outside the city. Check their current fees.

Aquarium Paradise prices

Kids' tickets are for children between 80 cm and 140 cm. There is no age restriction for visiting. Book on our tickets page and use AQUA100 for ₹100 off online.

Doing two in one day

Since the aquarium and Fun World share a complex, a common plan is Fun World in the morning (Water World runs 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM) and the aquarium in the evening, when it stays open until 8:00 PM. COMBO20 gives 20% off the combo ticket. Remember nylon clothes for water rides, and no bags inside the aquarium.
