An aquarium date at Palace Grounds
Aquarium Paradise is one of the few places in the city where you can walk under the water together. The tunnel is what the venue calls India's longest. After it, the jellyfish room with reflective walls and the indoor waterfalls make good photo stops. The ocean-view seating lounge is a place to sit and talk.
Timing helps. Arrive before 6:30 PM to see an expert diver feed the fish. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays a 7:40 PM mermaid show runs for about 10 minutes, free with entry and subject to availability. Confirm on the mermaid page, as timings can change. The aquarium also has what it calls India's first ocean restaurant.
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.
