Sea turtle exhibit in Bangalore: what to know before you go
Where the sea turtle idea comes from
Some older pages and posts online have described sea turtles at Bangalore aquariums. Displays change over time, and we can only vouch for what our own aquarium lists today. If turtles are the only reason for your trip, call the venue you plan to visit and ask before you go. For Aquarium Paradise, that number is +91 96063 11881.
What you will see at Aquarium Paradise
- The underwater tunnel: India's longest, with fish moving overhead and on both sides.
- Large fish: moray eels, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish are some of the species on show. See the full list on our fish page.
- Jellyfish room: reflective walls make the jellyfish look like they go on forever.
