It houses marine as well as freshwater fishes and offers an experience of the diverse aquatic life. The main attraction includes a 12-feet long and 360-degree acrylic glass tunnel which gives visitors a feeling of walking under the sea while observing the marine species. The aquarium has a collection of over 100 species of fish, coral fishes from the Lakshadweep Islands, sea turtles, sharks, and rays, among others. An amphitheater, a special tank for moray eels, a touch pool for tactile experience with sea creatures, and a special section dedicated to marine interpretation are other key highlights.
