Looking for a tunnel aquarium in Bangalore? Here is what ours has
Be clear on what is in the tanks
Many tunnel searches are really about sharks. We would rather you know before you book: the species we name on our site include the moray eel, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish, along with a wide range of other freshwater and marine fish. If a particular animal matters to you, check the fish page before your visit, or call +91 96063 11881.
The big fish you can see
- Alligator gar: a large, long-snouted predator fish with rows of teeth.
- Tarpon: big, fast, silver fish with plate-like scales.
- Moray eel: long-bodied and sharp-toothed, usually watching from the rocks.
Seen from inside the tunnel, with fish passing overhead, these are the ones that make kids grab your hand.
The tunnel experience
You walk along a clear tunnel with water above and on both sides. It is part of the regular route, so there is no extra fee. For the most movement, be there for the expert diver feeding at 6:30 PM daily. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, a free mermaid show runs at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, subject to availability; confirm at the counter.
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.
Also on the route
- A jellyfish room with reflective walls.
- Indoor waterfalls and an ocean-view seating lounge.
- Interactive zones and educational displays.
