Pretty old places, need a re-vamp to give modern look. Wonderful to see range of sea species. Also crowded with plenty of tourists coming in. More

While you cannot compare Taraporewala Aquarium with what Singapore (Sentosa) and other East Asian countries have on offer it is still the best bet in Mumbai. More

Visited today with family. The entry fee is Rs. 15 for adults and Rs. 10 for childrens. Not much variety of fish on display. Within 5 minutes we were out of the acquarium. The Marine Drive promenade opposite acquarium is a better attraction. The place stinks and badly needs renovations. More

There is nothing here for you to see. Avoid visiting. There is a plan to upgrade the Aquarium for the past 5 years. We are still waiting for the government to award the contract. Until such time, it is not worth visiting. More
