How To Reach Taraporewala Aquarium
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
The Taraporewala Aquarium, situated prominently on the famous Marine Drive in South Mumbai, is India's oldest public aquarium, inaugurated in 1951 by the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. It is named after a generous Parsi philanthropist, D. B. Taraporewala, who donated a significant am ount towards its construction. The aquarium originally served as a key center for the study and display of marine and freshwater aquatic life. After a major renovation project completed in 2015, the aquarium was modernized to meet international standards. The redesigned facility now hosts over 400 species of fish, totaling over 2,000 individual fish, in larger, imported glass tanks with advanced LED lighting and sophisticated aqua-scaping, providing a much better viewing experience. The highlight of the renovation is a spectacular 12-foot long, 180-degree acrylic glass tunnel walk-through, allowing visitors to experience the feeling of being underwater, surrounded by diverse marine life. The aquarium showcases a wide variety of both marine fish (including sharks, moray eels, stingrays, sea stars, and colorful tropical species like clownfish and butterflyfish) and freshwater fish (such as Red Devil, Electric Blue, and various catfish). It also features specialized sections like a moss aquarium and a plantation aquarium with exotic aquatic plants. Beyond the fish, a popular, interactive attraction is the Doctor Fish tank, where visitors can dip their feet into the water for a unique, skin-nibbling experience. The Taraporewala Aquarium remains a much-loved destination for families, students, and marine enthusiasts, blending entertainment with education about the aquatic ecosystems of India and the world.
