Varkala Aquarium

Entry fees Rs 30 for adults and Rs 15 for kids. Free for kids upto 5 years of age. The 3D theatre was closed when we visited. The children's park can be availed at Rs 10 per head. Overall a good experience for kids. Lots of fish and the mud crab on display with beautiful views and the acquarium overlooking the beach.

Awesome place and the surroundings specially if you are with your kiddos. Fish aquarium is average but you will find a beautiful children park and absolutely breathtaking sea views and can witness a perfect sunset while your kids being busy playing in the swings and slides.

Visited the aquarium near Black Sand Beach and had a great experience. In addition to the wide variety of fish on display, the aquarium offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. It's well-maintained, and the entry ticket is quite affordable. There wasn’t much of a crowd, which made the visit even more enjoyable. A peaceful and educational stop worth visiting if you're in the area.

Aquarium houses a wide variety of fishes; carps, jelly fish etc. and kids really enjoy being there. Place looks neat and there is a well maintained toilet at the outside near the entrance. However, there are less visitors and managing the facility with this meager income could be difficult. This aquarium needs public support to sustain in the long run. Adult : ₹ 30 Kids : ₹ 15

It has a very good infrastructure for a state of the art aquarium. But it looks like the place is running short of funds for maintenance. Mostly common fish species which could be found in a regular aquarium shop in town with a very few rare species. And many empty tanks which again reflect upon my guess on funds earlier. Entry fee is nominal and ample space for car parking. There is an attached kids play area which is quite big and has an amphitheatre kind of arrangement. Kids will love the play area. The play area is adjacent to the beach but is securely isolated. Felt safe to let the kids be on their own here. Hope the aquarium gets the required attention from the state to draw more crowds in the near future.

Small aquarium. Can be improved as it is in prime location near beach. Child park ow under maintenance when i visited. I saw Jelly fish first time here.

With limited experience this place offers, yet there are some surprise elements like jelly fish, turtle in this aquarium. There is a lot of scope to improve for a better experience. It is near to black sand beach and there are ticket charges of Rs.30 per head.

The aquarium is not that great. So many species of fish were missing from the tank. But the play area outside was lovely. My kid had loads of fun playing in the swing,etc. Great place for kids. Also, there's an entry ticket for the aquarium. Overall, it was a good experience.
