- Suba Divya1 contributionAwesome place to visit. Entered the marine world with no expectations, exited with so much nice memories. You get to forget rest of the world when you are here. Lots of fish varieties. Most of which are a surprise to watch. You can spend atleast 3 hrs here peacefully. They have a good court and a popcorn stall too. Those who want to spend half a day outside city life, pls try visiting here once.
The day we visited, we had a long queue in all counters for the tickets. But I booked online in a minute and entered the premises without wasting time. Sometimes they give offer while we book online too.

- Eileen108Mount Shasta, CA3,714 contributionsMuseum is well done with informative displays on Swami Vivekananda and Indian spirituality. The 3D film on the Parliament of Religions was well done and charming. There was an area where you could ask questions and hear the reply from a video display of Vivekananda, it was enjoyable. And meditating in the room where he stayed was powerful. Definitely recommend this sight if you have time in Chennai.Written 23 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- ManoVejle, Denmark5 contributionsCompared to other malls in Chennai. the recently built VR mall offers great dine-in, shopping & fun for kids.
The best part is the PVR cinemas, which has shining decor with light fixtures. In general, the mall was neat and clean all the time, I have seen the cleaning team is often cleaning the food court. I appreciate their dedication to maintenance. Furthermore, the shopping part was really great, couldn't stop shopping after buying clothes in all branded shops. Tommy Hilfiger & Jack and Jones collection for men was great (didn't visit all shops for men). Ritu Kumar, west side, mango, Vero Moda and lifestyle had a great collection for women. Noticed great watch collections, cosmetic collections as well. Toni & guy offer the best salon & spa service. Basically, you can find everything in one place. The food court looks crowded all the time, especially on weekends. however, the taste of the food from the food court was average. I really recommend the writer's cafe (small dine-in), their pizza was delicious. Karaikudi food tasted good however, the ambience needs to be improved. last but not least, my son really enjoyed the fun city.
Overall, it is a great location to spend time together with family, kids & friendsWritten 11 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - duttkrishAmman, Jordan170 contributionsreally cheap clothing...great people and not trying to scam you.

- Joseph CarltonLondon, UK8 contributionsThe museum is an fantastic gothic building and stands out. The collection is quite fascinating. I spent the most time in Bronze statues. Don't miss the sections of bronze from Chola period. Quite a memorable visit.Written 13 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ajino SinghKanyakumari, India91 contributionsSpencer Plaza- used to be Chennai's most famous shopping mall- It was the first one in that smart city to host millions of lovers, events, families- still it's open to host many such precious moments in people's life. The livelihood of the shop owners entirely depends upon the young customers, they have unique products and the shopping experience entirely, was new to me.
All pocket friendly products- except the Jammu & Kashmir shops- despite their price, I loved their product, they are fancy, unique and alluring.
I think they need our support. Show some love!Written 22 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - TamilAmericanTirunelveli, India89 contributionsWhen we went to the Palladium mall we were drawn to the upmarket shops and the airy feel that was very comforting in the covid era. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a safe shopping experienceWritten 20 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- HonisoiquimalypenseDerby, UK1,355 contributionsThis is a large white edifice that houses the remains of St Thomas. Inside is interesting, the wooden roof, stained glass windows, the painted stations of the cross and a statue of Christ with peacocks at his feet (Shiva?).
Downstairs is the tomb of St Thomas but as there was a service on, we didn’t get a great view of it. Definitely worth a visit. On the wall are religious posters and in one, I am sure Jesus was modelled on Elvis!Written 6 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
