Taraporewala Aquarium

It is located near Marine Drive, Mumbai. It was opened by Dr. Rajendra Prasad.

Taraporewala Aquarium is situated along Marine Drive in Mumbai. This Aquarium houses exotic marine life and rare species of fishes and also some exquisite pearl jewellery. It is soon to be renovated into a high-tech Aquarium with a glass vision seaworld. The late Dr. Rajendra Prasad formally opened it in 1951. The aquarium has three large rooms where fish are displayed in such a manner as to highlight the attractiveness of their appearance. The large tanks have shark, octopus, kite fish and the smaller tanks display corals, worms, sea flower and sea horses. Pearls, shells and articles crafted from shells are also displayed here.

There are plans to construct an underwater sea walk but as of now, fish enthusiasts will have to wait until that plan becomes a reality.

Nearest Station: Marine Lines (Western Railway). Visitors can easily access the Aquarium by buses run by BEST.
