Walking in without a booking
| Ticket | Weekdays | Weekends and holidays |
|---|---|---|
| Adult (above 140 cm) | ₹499 | ₹599 |
| Kids (80 cm to 140 cm) | ₹449 | ₹549 |
The counter closes at 7:15 PM and the aquarium closes at 8:00 PM. A ticket is valid for one entry on that day.
The trade-off: online offers are not available at the counter. Booking on your phone before you reach, even from the parking area, lets you use AQUA100 for ₹100 off. Groups of three save more with B2G1 (buy 2 get 1 free) if they book a day ahead. Book on the tickets page.
The walk-through part
The route is a self-paced walk, so you can go as slowly as you like. Expect 1 to 2 hours:
- Galleries of freshwater and marine fish, including moray eel, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish.
- India's longest underwater tunnel, where fish swim around and over you.
- A jellyfish room with reflective walls.
- Indoor man-made waterfalls and an ocean-view seating lounge to rest.
- Interactive zones and educational displays for kids.
