First of its kind in India, honest attempt to meet international standards. Kids would be very excited and its more than experience for adults as well with wide range of water species along with their description available on touchpads. Plan for three hours to do a relaxed exploration of each segment. Ice on the cake is camera is allowed so you can click some breathtaking photos as well. Marine staff also would be clicking pics at selected view points which can be availed as soft/hard copies for your souvenir collection!!!

We went over a weekend on 26th September. It was crowded than expected. Its a nice leisure place to go with family and kids. As it has opened after a long lock down only small maintenance issues was there, but still they have kept the place well maintained.They havent a descent cafeteria outside with required items to have during exit. They dont allow any eatables inside. They also have a feeding of fish at regular intervals. It is also displayed as a show.Entry fess is 600rs and I felt it can be kept at 400 or 500rs. This would have attracted little more crowd.

Wonderful family experience, especially for kids, well maintained fish aquarium with nice collection of fishes, walk through tank could have been larger with more bigger variants of sharks and ray fish.Nice place to spend 3 to 4 hours with family, restaurants need to improve to give full family experience.Rating them at 4 star with expectation to see them improve and be a 5 star rated family experience place.

Didnt like it. I agree there are lots of Sea Animals but the space for keeping them is Small, not enough to keep the bunch of fishes in small aquarium.The two poor little Meer Cats are inside a very small compound, kindly free them. Better not to visit here instead enjoy the Rides in Universal Kingdom.But the Ganpati Dance inside the water was good, that pool too is having many many different fishes, String Ray etc.

Perfect place spend time peacefully.we can spend 2hours easily guys. Worth for money. They charge 600rs for adults, everyone should visit at least once cause it’s worth for money. We can see different and exotic kind of fishes for paying 600. I really appreciate you guys(VGP) for providing such wonderful experience for us. Really you guys maintaining good and decent, maintenance is a tough game but you guys really played very well in maintenance part.

We enjoyed a lot... It was an amazing feeling.. very unique fishes .. we not even seen them on television.. so such a great experience .Must try.100% satisfiedThey are charging 600 for adults 500 for kids . Worth the price..

One of its kind and kids will enjoy so much... There is snow kingdom beside so easy way to spend afternoon to night along with beach behind..

Nice place, people can view different variety of fishes. Children will be more interested and surely they will enjoy by seeing the fishes. Touching star fishes are amazing. Cost for adult is rupees 600 and for Children 500 rupees. Cost seems to be bit overpriced. Parking seems to full during weekends.

PROS:1)Highly recommended for kids and adults as well2)Maintained very clean .3)Restroom facilities are available inside.4)Paid Car parking .5)Entry fee (INR 600 person).6)Solid 2 hours are required if you are 🐟 fish lover .7)Its a mini Aquarium (They tried to mimic major countries universal studio Aquarium style)8)Safety measures are in place.CONS:1) Eatable are not allowed inside and to be kept at locker while entering the aquarium.2) Restaurant is available only after the exit of Aquarium and not worth at all.3)Ticket purchased will become invalid once you exit the Aquarium .

Kids will love this marine kingdom, had visited in Singapore & Canada and never expected this one with the same standard. Neatly maintained with ample space. Felt the entrance fee is high for just the visit inside.Or else its the best place for adults & Kids to visit in Chennai.Hope it expands more in the near future.

Very good effort in providing a very marine life experience to visitors. Under water tunnel experience and feeding episodes to the manta ray is an experience to cherish!!

Good place to spend for 2 hours.. kids will enjoy for sure.Variety of fish , colourful and pretty . Well maintained.Feeding time 3pm .. can see diver diving in and feed .Ticket costs ₹600/ per head.If your childs height is less than 120cm then they are considered as kid and ticket costs₹500If your kids height is more than 120cm then they are strictly considered as an adult 😂😂

Very beautiful experience and worth the money spent. Something you can see no where else. So much variety of aquarium fishes ...

1) Highly recommended for fish lovers2) Maintained very well.3) Entry fee (INR 600 person adults and 500 for children).4) Various types of fishes that have been segregated well according to their habitat5) People who are interested in underwater aquarium is a must go(Just imagine fishes flying just above you)

Children love this place... Exciting to see the wide variety of marine life

A world full of excitement... Global level presentation... Just loved it😍

Wonderful place for kids and Ok-ish for adults. I observe collections are improved since my last visit. Not much exciting unless anyone is such enthusiastic about marine life... Charges are little premium in my personal opinion on top of it parking charges could have kept free... Kids will enjoy for sure and my son never gets tired of visiting here.

Ineffable experience, almost all Indian Ocean species is there for sighting. Kids would love that.

Another good place for childrens attraction... They kept all the fish varieties with themed manner. 2 hr will take peaceful visit

Costly, Maximum one hour we can spend here. Comparing with other entertainment zone, this is costly.Kids Rs. 500 Adult: 600

Wonderful experience, had a very great time... Very very beautiful place and well maintained... Need to spend minimum one full day to get the full enjoyment of all the various fish available too see, and the underwater see is very interesting and very new to Chennai people.

For a Ticket value of Rs 600/- per head, it is worthy aquarium in Chennai at par with some of the good ones at Southeast asia. This has only the fishes of limited varieties as aquarium, with a tunnel arrangement as well.They can add more varieties like turtles, prawns, starfish, lobsters, seahorses, coral reef, crocodiles, etc.There are no shows, like dolphin show, Coral show, sea manatee show, Sea lion shows, etc. Do not expect any interactive shows.At the entrance itself they have a Virtual underwater show at an additional cost of Rs 150/head. This is a 15 minute show, worth for kids. We can feel the underwater experience virtually sitting in a chair.One can spend about two to 3 hours easily.Photography is allowed. So plan and go prepared.Some tanks has a tunnel entry, one can enter through it and stand in the middle of fish tank for a good photograph as if u are in water.Caution:Once you enter, you have to finish and then only can come out for lunch. So plan your timing accordingly.

This place was well organized with decent amount of fish collections on display. Our family enjoyed especially our little one. But hope in future it gets a world class expansion & becomes a major attraction for Chennai something similar to Singapore sentosa aquarium

Jaw drop place the maintenance is top notch absolute delight for the kids and couples they have 🕯 🕎 dinner 😍must go to place

Its a couple friendly place and those who were seeking for have some enjoyment seeing lots of new things to explore would be disappointed. There is no such attraction for spending more time here.For a common person can simply explore for around 20 mins max, and the entry fees and extra parking fees also too high (600 + 50).Its a good place for explorers who loves fishes as they can explore some sea creatures which is a new experience.Its a nice place.

First of its kind in South India.A must visit place if u are going to Chennai.A unique experience and very informative for kids and adults alike.

Its an OK OK Place. Good if kids are interested in Marine Life.I feel Cost of entry is higher if compared to what all is available to see.They ar we not taking care of Covid 19 Norms. Only at entry they check temp and mask, but inside there is no restrictions at all, which I feel shud be strict.Also they are charging for the Parking which is not OK.

One of the best site seeing spot for kids. Families should take their kids and spend some valuable time here.Worthy spot to get more knowledge on variety of species

It is certainly a must visit in Chennai. People saying Rs.600 is expensive have no idea how difficult it is to maintain this. My only problem is they should validate parking and provide free parking for people who are visiting. Marine Life is well lit and maintained well. There is no exotic marine life but definitely worth the time and money.

Very good experience. Good place to spend couple hours to relax your mind.Recommend it ;)

They have come closest in replica to the Aquarium in Sentosa Singapore. The Aquarium is medium sized with a lot of exotic fishes under special maintenance by the staff. The ambiance is very good. The price is a tad expensive when we go as a large group, maybe they can provide a discount when we go in a large group. The car parking is quite big and this was a great experience in Chennai ECR.

This place will be liked and loved not just by kids, but by elders and even senior citizens. You can see so many colorful and attractive fishes that might take the stress out of your daily routines. These kind of aquariums can only be seen in foreign countries. When attractions like these are setup in India, never hesitate or think twice. Just go!

A great place for the kids, adults dont really get bored either, its interesting and fascinating. We spent just over 1.5 hours.A good day out and worth seeing if not been before. Once done, it’s quite a linear route - you have pretty much covered it in an hour and then that’s it.I am sure its Very entertaining for kids. The gift shop at the end has a great selection. Overall Very good.

Good place with lot of sea creatures. Kids will love the place. Okay for adults. Entry fee is little costly.

I had taken kids here and they were spellbound. The variety of fishes, the ambience, especially the tunnel walk were great. The touch pool where kids could feel the star fish was unique. The selfie zones were unique too. The VR zone was a fun experience. Kids loved the fishes, especially the sharks, lobster, sting ray, star fish, octopus among others. A great place with family.

Worth visiting awesome experience can see the ocean living

Stunning experience😮😵‍💫 Variety of Fishes and Well maintained🐡🐠 Had a great time😇 Must visit place in Chennai🥳

For kids its Super exciting, for adults one time visit , if they keep charges low its fair , 600 for person is high in my opinion apart from that again car parking charged and , VR experience is not worth the hype and money , one time Visit is ok

Good place to visit over a weekend. This place is something that we dont get to see anywhere often.As of Aug 2021Adults - Rs. 600Kids - Rs 500(under 90cm height is free entry)

Underwater experience. You can enjoy the marine fish life. Well maintained. Worth visiting.

Nice palace to enjoy with your family. Specially for kids. This place is well maintained. The marine tunel is awesome, I the the conveyor belt inside the tunel is not functional now. This will be helpful for the senior citizens. You can relax and spend your own time there. There are creative sopts made to take a photograph. As they dont charge extra for carrying your camera, and considering the amount spend for the construction and maintenance,its value for money. Currently the charge 500 for kids and 600 for adults. May be for kids alone they can reduce the tariff.

Wide variety of fish. Takes about 2-3 hours for complete tour. Well maintained. Good for kids as well as adults.

Good place for kids!! Nice refreshing cafe at the exit! Shopping for kids is reasonable! Scuba diving is also there! But we didn’t try as we went late

First ever marine aquarium in chennai and very good place to spend time with family. Enterance price is expensive but worthy. Kids will love this place. Alot of sea fish varities are available here.

Nice place to enjoy. Takes about hardly an hour to cover the entire exhibits. The aquarium and the place is maintained really well.

Wonderful place to see varieties of fishes.. Very well maintained and a nice place for family get to gether

World class standard in chennai, definitely an eye stealing show of the entire collection of fishes...Family audience can enjoy to the core... Visual treat 😍😍Only negative is food court... Ambience is neat but the food served there is not tasty... Better Avoid unless necessary... I recommend the management out there to give more menus and tasty food which will be helpful...

My kid enjoyed a lot. Spent quality time with family. We were so pleased to see all the fishes as we travelled from vellore. Hope our eyes had a good treat seeing all the beautiful cold blooded animals

Well maintained. Excellent place for kids and family. Canteen had less options. Good merchandise

You can definitely visit once. The maintenance and the interiors are really awesome. Feels international. Kids will love this place. I went with my 1.5 year old and my 6 year old. Both of them really loved the place and did not show any hesitation to walk all along the entire place. It was really welcoming. The ticket cost is slightly high that makes the place unaffordable for a large family. Tickets cost 600 for adults and 500 for kids. Below 90cms the ticket is free of cost. You can spend solid 2.5 hours inside this place admiring the beauty. The place is also covid safe will all precautions

Must watch ..the Best Aquarium in Chennai ECR, Compared to Singapore...its well maintained and variety of Fishes.

Best Place to Spend Quality time... But the price is Bit High...overall the experience is good

Spent quality time at Indias First Marine Kingdom! The Photo Booths were awesome! Thanks for the lovely memories!

Good place to see and enjoy a new type of aquatic things.

The quality is as good as Singapore. Its better to go on a working day as you can expect more crowd during public holidays. Worth every ₹ spent as you get to see wide variety of marine species under one roof. Souvenirs also available, photo mug, magnet , photos. Small eatery is there.

Fish names and display are not in Tamil hard to get full experience of exploring some thing new.place to spend 1 to 2 hours. Maintained well. 1 to 2 minutes of under waters walk.

Loved the experience with my wife and son... Great place for children to spend atleast 2-3 hours...

First outing with my new born baby and it turned to be a pleasant one. Excellently arranged infra and pleasant feel right from entering the marine campus and towards the exit. Kudos to VGP to maintain such a world class quality of marine. Although have couple of cons which I would highlight below;Entry and exit should be clear and informed to visitors. Once you reach exit, you can go back to entry to revert for anything. I thought we would go for VR experience which was at the entrance, unfortunately due to this confusion, we couldnt experience that.Cafeteria inside marine kingdom is taking a long time for any order intake and delivery. Even in normal days, process is very slow. Need to speed up these things to have a efficient food outing.

Fantastic view to see, kids will enjoy more1time you can visit, one of good place in Chennai entry tic 600 per head

Visited marine kingdom with familyHad a great experienceGlad to see such effort in Chennai.

One of the best spotNever missed In chennai people my kutty requestPer person 600rs for child 550rsParking 30rs

Deeply engrossing for adults and children alike. One of the must see places in chennai.

This is one of the best museum/aquarium experiences I’ve had. It is SO BIG and there’s so much cool stuff to see.Entry fees 500Camera freeUnderground tunnel.@wondersofwildlife @lovespringfield #travel #wildlife #chennai @ Wonders of Wildlife

It was a nice experience for the first time.Worth spending time here atleast once..If you have kids then it is one of the Best places in Chennai for them!! Kills your time like anything if you are interested in sea creatures!!But its human made not under sea concept

It was well presented and they had a nice selection of marine life which my son enjoyed however80% of families/visitors were not wearing masks or maintaining social distancing. This was shocking as its an extremely closed space with no fresh air. Nobody was there to enforce that rules to avoid spread of COVID were being followed. Also, at the entrance the man in charge of checking temperature was only checking every third person and did not seem to care if you sanitised your hands upon entry. I left feeling uneasy that I may have been exposed to COVID and if I had known that rules were not enforced I would not have gone at all. Places like this should not be allowed to open if they cannot or will not enforce proper COVID protocol. The Tamil Nadu government should be made aware of this.

Super, I just loved it...Great efforts have been made to maintain the same ecological balance which is required for most of the marine species....Although it would be great if they could reduce the entrance fess so that most of the poor population could manage it & have a look at the marine life.Would recommend it to all 💯👏👍👌👌

Nice place to take the kids for fun and education. Kids and adults will be amused to see it. A good collection of both fresh water and marine fishes are there in well maintained environment. Dont know why meerkat is in there🤔? Instead of otter😄. You can also take pics and videos. Air conditioning is off due to. Covid-19 restrictions still well ventilated. For adults the ticket 🎫 price is INR 600 and for kids above 90cm its INR 500. Its a very good place to visit. I recommend it.

600 per adult and 500 for kids above 90cms of height seems to be really expensive. Thought they showcase species in state of the art infrastructure.But having paid people will feel happy after getting out.

They have increased the entry rate again now to Rs.600 per adult and Rs.500 for Children.One time Visit place. Kids should love it.They never seems to operate their walkalator present in the area near underwater display.No eatables or drinks are allowed but they dont have any pure Vegetarian counter in their eateries area.

Our own take on the world famous water world model. Surprising they had a fair share of aquatic creatures which was both stunning and educative.The only thing despiteful was the placement of solitary pair of meerkats, which is totally suicidal for them habitat and packwise

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 its definitely worth the pricing.

Great for children and adults alike!The lower corridors however are far too dark, signage for what type of fish, their habitat, characteristics partly not available or absent, therefore a missed educational opportunity.The biggest drawback: The management and staff are not enforcing the Mask mandate and once people enter they remove masks, which is a big danger.When we saw that, we exited immediately, but did bring it to the attention of the counterstaff on our way out.If you are charging for parking, why not provide a clean carpark, instead of a litter strewn one?

The place is clean and tidy its best fit to take children with and there are wide range of species of aquatic livings and they is also squba diving facility but I dont think its worth for squba yet its best for a picnic with children.

Best place for kids entertainment and more unseen sea fishes i seen good place for ECR Trip

Its a nice and beautiful place to wisit in these location, will be a first choice place for children for enjoyment they will have a great time with lots of veriety of fishes kept for display here and the theam and atmosphere is very pleasent and gives a feel that you are in a ocean, you got a lot of veriety of fish to sea here, and the top thing is they are providing a scuba diving facility you can go into water and feed the fish it will give you a thrilling experience.BUT THE ONE THING I FELT HERE IS THE FARE OF ENTRY TICKETITS FOR CHILDREN:- ₹500FOR ADULTS:- ₹600WHICH I FELT IS BIT EXPENSIVEotherwise every thing here is great and niceMust visit place for children

Amazing place to visit in Chennai. The #aquarium is clean and well maintained. It takes around 30-45 mins to explore this place and it charge bit high but worth to visit. There are other activities to do at this place like scuba diving and virtual gaming. Parking for two wheeler and four wheeler is available with wheelchair accessible. Check the time before you leave.

They have underwater party rooms and fair enough variety of fishes. Might be little over priced 600per adult but still can pay a visit. Has scuba facility for extra charge up to 4.5k. Not very breath taking but a very good change from normal routine

If you plan anyone to play in water then you consider this. If you looking for only rides , then Aqua ticket is not required. If you have ticket for Aqua, then only you can enter into that , which is inside the universal kingdom. Ex. Family ( Husband + wife ), eventhough wife not interest for water games , she needs ticket to enter into aqua.Dress: For Aqua (water games ), you need to rent costumes from there ( i.e. compulsory 30 rupees , there you need to pay the amount 300 rs, and once u return the rental costumes they refund 270 rs ). Take towels with you, else u can rent that also there. If wish get some moisturizers , else skin might dry a lot.Kids tickets : Check with the security for kids,whether need to take ticket or not before buying.Kids rides : Have few good numbers for kids rides. Surely kids from age 3, can go couple of rides. In Aqua, only in the sea waves its like beach, kids can enjoy and one more free fall ride, kids can go along with the parents.Food: 2 restaurants, and few ice creams, cool drinks, corn, veg puff/snacks shops there. You can try fried rice or dosa varieties. There is family dosa around 250 rs, which is 3 feet length.

I have visited this Marine Kingdom twice and it is probably the first to have underwater walkthrough aquarium in India. I have been always been a Scuba diving enthusiast. The moment I saw VGP offering Scuba dives, my long pending desire to swim with the sharks woke up instantly and seized the opportunity.I filled a routine health questionnaire and attended the detailed explanation by the diving instructor (I forgot his name). Although excited, I was a bit nervous of the sharks as this was my first dive inside an aquarium. But I was told it is totally safe and gave clear instructions on what to do and what not to. I did a trial dive followed by the full dive. The water used in the aquarium is sea water; it makes sense as they have sea species in the main aquarium.My heart was throbbing for a while with all Hollywood scary movie bits running in my mind. My instructor was very sensible and kept checking my wellness inside the water frequently. Once he was sure that I was comfortable and that I was able to signal him back, he reduced the frequency and took me closer to the fishes.I cannot name all the species I saw, but I could identify lemon sharks, black tip, sting rays, etc. The dive was for about 60 minutes in total and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were different artificial landscapes inside the aquarium — including replicas of some temple in ruins, and a drowned ship in the seas which was totally unexpected.As I informed my family earlier to wait at the underground tunnel to see me while I dive, they were waiting near the aquarium panel. They waved at me in excitement, so I signaled my diver and he helped me kneel, and I was waving back, which only encouraged other people to wave back at me. I continued with the rest of my dive with some beautiful memories to cherish until my next escapade.Amusingly, I came to know that those who register for scuba need not purchase a separate ticket for the aquarium. The reason I quote amusing is that if I am already swimming with the fishes, why would I crave for watching them from outside the aquarium 😊I also noticed that the cost for the dive is still economical than other scuba dives I have done in rest of the world. According to me, we are getting a world class experience within an aquarium at a nominal cost.You need good reef or sometimes luck to swim closer with the fishes in open waters. But here, the landscapes are built, and you cannot get any closer than this to the sea species. So, the only regret I had during my entire visit was that I could not carry my GoPro with me for some catchy pictures. Happy diving!

Nice place to visit specialy for kids and fish loversWorst experience we faced at food court charging high cost but not satisfied with the drink and service they provided better going out and having a drink or food is good idea

It was nice. Pleasant experience. They have varieties of fish. Kids will enjoy a lot

Kids love the place. Very versatile fishes. Clean place and nice ambience. Awesome place for kids to spend joyable time amidst corona.

If you are a fish lover I would definitely suggest you to go once else we will end up feeling that we spent more.You can park in VGP parking and go. Parking has ample spaceMay be what I felt is the under water aquarium can be improved. When you dont have fish going above you I dont see any reason to pay and see this.

Indeed, the fervor to observe all assortment of fishes is finished. Its a little spot however! We went through 1.5 hours precisely to cover the whole spot.They had wide assortments of fishes and the presentation screen showed data of the fishes at each spot. In the event that you need to catch the whole data of the fish, one needs to trust that the screen will look back to same page. That is really killing time.The plants utilized for beautification inside and outside of the aquarium were counterfeit. Keeping up unique plants is exhorted as it gives lovely air for individuals who come to watch and furthermore for the fishes.Slight feel of energy is seen when we attempt to watch the fishes nearer because of the arrangement of the glass.

Well maintained with variety of species showcased with different views. Must visit place

Overall its good for kids and adult can also relax.Lightings and fish varieties and maintenance all good.Really my kid enjoyed lot by seeing all the fishes and tried to catch 😀😂

Super Place to spend the time, Cost Worthy place we may see may varieties of fishes here.

Exotic fishes and very rare species of fishes added beauty to the aquarium. Maintenance and ambience is too good. But the entry fee charged for kids is too high. Service is not so great. Ladies who work in toy section near exit gate and lady cashier doesnt show any etiquettes at all even towards the kids. Very ruthless behavior.

Wow! I never knew that such place exist in Chennai. My uncle only took us to this place, a giant aquarium with exotic fishes looked amazing. Mermaid was there when we visited here.

This is first in India kids can email spend 2 hrs here very well maintained but they need to add even more species like seahorse , jelly fish , horseshoe crab etc then it will be perfectBut I think this is very first in India this much bigger aquarium kudos to the team hoping to see much more additions to the aquarium

Too much of cost for food and other things. Other than that everything is good.

This might be an amazing experience for the people who visit aquarium for the first time. As well as for kids its really enjoyable and also for adults this is entertaining and interesting.. apt for all age people💞💞 must visit

Fantastic place to visit...Entrance fee is bit costly,Half a day we may slowly explore the full area and kids will be more joyful & enjoy.All kids of fish are here 🐟🐠🎏🎣🐡🍥

Beautiful aquarium set up in international standards

It is a very well maintained aquarium. Great place to visit with family, specially if you have small kids in the family.You will see some rare species of fish and animals here.

Very good place to spend time with family & FriendsENJOY

Good one-time experience but not worth the price. Except underwater subway others are not so great. Also never book through makemytrip.com, as its a waste of effort to get online tickets but still stand in general queue to get access card.

Nice place to visit with family and friends.. I dont know how itll be in weekends.. but in weekdays it was so peaceful and relaxing to be roaming in it for more than couple of hours..

Perfect place spend time peacefully.we can spend 2hours easily guys. Worth for money. We can see different and exotic kind of fishes for paying 600. I really appreciate you guys(VGP) for providing such wonderful experience for us. Really you guys maintaining good and decent, maintenance is a tough game but you guys really played very well in maintenance part.

Very beautiful,neet and clean, entertainment for children and elders.
