</p><p>Taraporewala Aquarium is also one of the biggest and the most immersive aquariums in the country. The aquarium had been renovated in 2015 and given a whole new look, which included addition of several marine and exotic fish, as well as a full marine ecosystem and variou fun activities to partake in. <br></p><p>The marine world is colourful and vibrant, which makes it a treat for young kids who're awed by the beauty, the lights and the "little fishies". However, even as an adult, the ecosystem, the variety of fish, the sea turtles, jellyfish and the many activities hold as much charm.</p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1928181993792414" data-ad-slot="7448307427" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

</p><p>The aquarium has huge tanks complemented with LED lights which not only make the colours brighter, but the entire 'viewing' experience a whole lot more fun. Though, our favourite tank will have to be the circular jellyfish tank, because not only are the creatures gorgeous, they're fascinating to stare at. <br></p><p>The aquarium even has a 'petting pool' of sorts where people can come meet the fish and marine creatures in person! The pool is inhabited by star fish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and various turtles, which can all be touched and seen close up. Plus, who can forget the pedicure tanks, or spa for your feet, where 10 odd tanks can help you recieve the pedicure of dreams as tiny fish come and nibble the dead skin from your feet, leaving them smooth and new!</p><h2>Knock Knock</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-proxy-image">
