Underground aquarium in Bangalore? Walk under the water at Aquarium Paradise
What the tunnel feels like
You walk along a clear tunnel with water on both sides and overhead. Fish pass above you and beside you, so you see them from underneath, which you cannot do at a normal tank. Freshwater and marine fish share the route, including the moray eel, tarpon, alligator gar and sun catfish. Read more on our underground fish aquarium page.
The rest of the route
- A jellyfish room with reflective walls.
- Indoor man-made waterfalls.
- An ocean-view seating lounge.
- Interactive zones and educational displays.
- Fish feeding by an expert diver every day at 6:30 PM.
- A complimentary mermaid show on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, subject to availability. Confirm timings on the mermaid page.
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.
Most people take 1 to 2 hours.
