★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a good aquarium. But there is only 1 floor and 2 sections to explore. But you will enjoy as there is also an auditorium, probably for showing documentaries. They also have a lot of fossils on display of starfish and other marine organisms. You can also see creative objects made out of shells.

This sightseeing place in Mumbai is one of the largest aquariums in the city of Mumbai. Situated in Marine Drive, this aquarium was founded by D. B. Taraporewala, a Parsi philanthropist, in the year 1951. The aquarium has a twelve feet long three-sixty degrees glass tunnel that holds interesting marine life.
There are several species of fish here, such as damselfish, butterfly fish, tiger fish, angelfish, moss, sea urchins, sea cucumber, marine eels, tube worms, tangs, batfish, puffer fish, tangs, jellyfishes, orandas etc that make this aquarium a highly diverse collection of marine life. There are a total of thirty-two tropical tanks in the building.
You can also see several species of freshwater and marine plants such as water lilies. There is also a fish spa and touch pool, where you can dip your feet in the water and the fish eat away the dead skin off your feet (at the fish spa), and you can touch sea urchins, turtles, sea cucumbers in the touch pool.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This could be a better place for children as well as adults if maintained properly. The first impression comes to mind that it could have been much more cleaner. Though, it has good collection of fishes, kids enjoy that too!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's aquarium with different fishes, and description as display so we can see and learn and enjoy. Nearly 70 types of fishes are there and a small theatre is there to display about taraporevala aquarium and fishermen like that. Ticket costs are 30 for kids and students 60 per adults and 200 for foreigners. For me it's not worth that cost because you can't even take pictures inside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its nice for a one time visit. There are variety of fishes and sea creatures but to a very limited extent. Also the aquarim is not well maintained. They could have utilised the space by providing more species of aquatic creatures and by maintaining the old one by giving them proper conditions.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited this place to see a huge variety of fishes but unfortunately the number of fishes has decreased and the tanks are also no very clean as they should be. The information near the fish tanks are not readable, they’ve pasted papers which has information. Expecting that they take entry fees of Rs.60, everyone expects the place to be more good and informative; we would mind the fees to increase and get to see even more variety and not only empty tanks.
The place is located right opposite to Marine lines and the nearest railway station is Charni Road or Marines line.
