Underwater fish tunnel in Bangalore: India's longest, at Palace Grounds

What you see from inside the tunnel

The tunnel runs through the water, so fish swim above your head and along both sides. You see bellies, fins and shadows that a wall tank does not show. Look for:

• Tarpon: big silver fish that catch the light as they turn.
• Alligator gar: long and slow, with a pointed, toothed snout.
• Moray eel: often tucked into the rockwork.
• Sun catfish: spotted and easy for kids to find.

The full species list is on the fish page.

Tips for the tunnel

• Walk slowly, then walk back. Fish move, and the view changes every few minutes.
• Phone photos are fine. Turn off the flash and hold the phone close to the glass.
• Look up as much as sideways.
• Time your visit for the diver feeding at 6:30 PM, when the fish are most active.

Beyond the tunnel

The route also takes in a jellyfish room with reflective walls, indoor waterfalls, an ocean-view seating lounge and interactive zones. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays there is a free mermaid show at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:40 PM, subject to availability; confirm at the counter. A visit takes 1 to 2 hours.

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.
