- Nikita JBengaluru, India14 contributionsMust go pla e if in ChennaiAbsolutely amazing place. It's done extremely nicely. Unbelievable to see the variety of fish. Beautifully made and so so clean. The staff is also very friendly. Highly recommend for kids to experience this. We have seen many aquariums in various countries but this definitely tops the list.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 14 October 2023
- Siingh-RNational Capital Territory of Delhi, India9 contributionsamazing but bit expensiveA very good place to go with family and kids and give them an experience of the marine world. There are all kinds of marine life on display from clown fish, star fish, octopus, jelly fish and the like to sting rays and sharks. There are great photo opportunities with the fish. The tunnel is the highlight of the visit. There is a small cafe inside and a few shops right outside. It's better to go on weekdays if possible as on weekends the place could be very crowded. Ticket prices are high and should be little lower but experience is really great.Visited June 2023Travelled with familyWritten 12 May 2024

- Kiyansh GunasekaranChennai (Madras), India31 contributionsVGP Marine Kingdom is a well-maintained placeVGP Marine Kingdom is a well-maintained place. My son is a big fan of Aquaman and he wanted to explore this marine kingdom finally he was very happy we have fulfilled to of his long wishes on a single day. Marine Kingdom has impressive variety of species, showcasing an extensive collection of colorful fishes that are truly mesmerizing. One of the standout features is the tunnel, providing an immersive and breathtaking view of marine life.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 24 May 2024
- Priti CSan Antonio, Texas2 contributionsGreat place to visit with kidsA very good place for kids to enjoy. Lots of varieties of fishes available. It is not a traditional aquarium with the same type of tanks. With a variety of tanks, it provides a good variation and kids are engaged throughout. I visited this place after 4 years and it is still good and well maintained. *Check their website FAQ for feeding times, that is a good one to watch. *Mermaid show is conducted during vacation time. Do check their website for timing before booking. Mermaid show - Not very great. But worth a watch once. Young kids enjoy it the most. Food - After we come out of marine kingdom, there's a gift shop and a food court. It's good. We can get pizza, pasta ,burger, icecream and even biryani there.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 30 May 2024
- Sathish N1 contributionBest Place for Underwater Experience in ChennaiOne of the most exciting places to visit with kids . The best place in Chennai especially during the summer for kids and parents too t witness spectacular underwater creatures fish and to get hand on touch and feel with star fish. Highlight included the Mermaid show although we can watch it any number of times may be the show can extend for a few more minutes rather than the 1 time entry of the mermaid. Great Rainforest areas with the artificial climbers and the underwater experience is the best along with the colorful fauna.would definitely visit again in a more relaxed time and spend more time as we were on a combo offer which was great and budget friendly.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 June 2024

Visited VGP marine kingdom with my daughter and family in Jan - its very small compared to some of the famous underwater aquariums. Ticket cost is high at 500 for adults and 400 for kids - usually you will end up spending 75-90 minutes at this place. The aquarium is divided into 5 zones like rain forest, deep sea, etc. and there are plenty of amazing fish and other marine species on display. Kids will especially enjoy the variety of fishes, the colours of the sea and the underwater tunnel. There is a star fish touching zone also !!
When we visited there was the Hyrdroman show which was good fun for the kids and also gave an important message. There is a restaurant on premises as well.

The place houses some very unique species. The axolotl and anemone species were quite fascinating. The signages were clear, however an interactive screen could have added to the experience.
What was impressive was how neat and clean this place is maintained. We took our six month old here and we were a little worried because some reviews mentioned the place was claustrophobic. We were happy that it was not and with the exception of one tiny section, the whole place smelt good even with so much water around.
One suggestion to them is to do away with the touch section. The species housed here is allowed to be touched by people and I can only imagine the trauma it faces day in and day out being touched by so many hands.

One of the recent attractions that has come up in Chennai and has become a must see places. It is well maintained with a wide variety of fishes. They have separate areas for the fishes, like deep sea, rainforest, mangrove etc.,. The deep sea is the best out of all which is tunnel shaped and you can sea the big fishes swimming across. They also have other attractions running periodically such as the Mermaid show etc.,.
One can easily spend around 1-2 hrs with kids. They also have an information center where a documentary on turtles are shown.
If one wants to visit along with the vgp attractions nearby (snow kingdom and amusement park), you can opt for the combo options which will reduce the price.
It is recommended to visit the place early as the crown will be lesser.
Outside the place, they have a food court where you can buy food and drinks.

Below five years kids will be free. Enjoyed with family a lot.Located near to vgp golden beach. Entry for adults is rs 550 and for kids 450.A VR theatre also there with entry fee rs 150. Awesome interior work has done.Night time view is excellent.Mermaid show is mind blowing.
Clean tanks and crystal clear water.The closed dome is the star attraction here.Will go once again with family after some time.Will recommended others also to visit once at least with family.

Good place to enjoy with your kids and family. VGP always surprises with their unique concepts to attract customers and this time they came up with something than no one could imagine. This large aquarium consists of 5 eco zones (rainforest,gorge,mangrove,coastal,deep ocean) and fishes that inhabits these zones. Apart from these, Sting ray captivity area and underwater tunnel followed by underwater suite would surprise you. Underwater suite with three large picture windows gives a wider view of the whole deep ocean aquarium area. They have around 200 fish and aquatic species in total including two cute meerkats.
Pricing might be too expensive (600rs each & 500rs for children) but it's definitely worth the pricing.

The place gave me a really good visual experience in Chennai. The marine animals displayed was very good and the photo section was my favourite part of the visit because the place offers opportunity to take photos with the fishes with specially built areas inside the tank. It was real fun to do so. And the design of the place where is fish is kept was really good and is built in the shape of a broken ship inside water. The virtual reality episode was also good. Will totally recommend for others.

No. It is an aquarium in a building with no access to the beach. You can access the beach further down the road or via VGP Golden beach

Depending on the time of the day, between 1hr to 1.5hrs
The snack bar was not functional when we visited, so can't comment about refreshments.
Hope this helps
