Taraporewala Aquarium Tourism

Taraporewala Aquarium is one of the oldest aquariums in India and a popular attraction in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Located on Marine Drive, this city landmark was inaugurated in 1951 and has since been a place where marine life enthusiasts and families come to explore the underwater world. The aquarium underwent a major renovation and was reopened in 2015 with upgraded facilities and tanks. 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.
