School excursion to an aquarium in Bangalore: organiser's checklist
Step 1: Get a group quote
Group rates are not published. Send your school name, date, number of students and staff, and class levels through the group bookings page, or call +91 96063 11881. Ask for the quote in writing so the accounts team has it.
Step 2: Pick the day and time
- Weekdays (Mon to Fri) use the lower standard price.
- The aquarium opens at 10:30 AM. A 10:30 AM arrival leaves time to return to school after lunch.
- On Wednesdays, a free mermaid show is listed at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, about 10 minutes, subject to availability. Confirm on the mermaid page before you build it into the plan.
Step 3: Plan the bus and lunch
- The address is Palace Grounds, Jayamahal Main Road, opposite TV Tower, J.C. Nagar. Share the location page with the bus operator.
- Outside food is not allowed inside the aquarium. Plan lunch before or after, or on the bus. Water bottles are allowed.
- Bags and backpacks are not allowed and there is no bag storage. Students should leave bags on the bus.
Step 4: Brief students and parents
- Phones are fine for photos and videos. Cameras need prior permission.
- Students should stay with their group adult. One adult per small group works well.
- The ground floor is wheelchair accessible, and free wheelchairs are available on request.
