Taraporewala Aquarium is situated along the
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 right now
fish enthusiasts will have to wait until that plan becomes a reality.
Closed On: Mondays
