    A well designed, well arranged mega aquarium. They have displayed every fish' scientific name and place of spotting along in detail. Apart from native species, rare species from various part of the world is displayed. The setting is a class apart. Each fish tank is themed according to the specific species or its country of origin. It's been parted as separate chambers for crowd management. First chamber has fish therapy provision also. Deep sea varieties are displayed in another chamber, where you cannot use flashlights- as it may concern the species which live in low lit areas of ocean. You can see sea urchins, lobsters, piranhas, electric eels and star of the show- a real shark! All tanks are made using inches thick heavy glass. Visitors are allowed to take photos- but no feeding or touching of fishes. It may cause disease as fishes are subjective to tiny environmental changes. The ticket charge is 350rs per head (2022)- for adults. But it's worth. Kids will love the show. This could even use for an academic purpose as everything is well documented. Plus we got to see rare sightings of species real close. Apart from the aquarium, there is bird park, a small kids play area (where they could catch fishes) and a koy fish feeding area. Panchavadi beach is very close. After the visit, do pay a visit to this awesome beach too. We didn't expect such a huge investment in this sleeping village. Really was awestruck. Free tip: before entering the property, locals may canvas you to use their Pay and Park facility. Actually marine world is providing enough free parking space. Don't listen to the canvassers. They will tell the official parking space is filled and so. Do check and then only try for paid parking

    Really Loved it. Nice place for children's and adults who love fishes. Highlight is fish therapy.. Timing.. 11am to 5pm Entry fee.. 350 for aquarium view. Rs. 250 for kids and Ra.300 for senior citizens. More than 2 hrs of enjoyment in Aquarium. Other than aquarium there is lots more places for enjoyment like 12d theatre, kids play station. I have only experienced aquarium. It is located near to Guruvayoor. So any one visit temple can also experience this When I visit here the Google map road is closed for rework. I randomly moved to some other road and then started maps and reached here.

    This is an awesome place for a one-day hangout with your family and kids. A lot of fish varieties were displayed here in different aquarium setups and high-quality marine aquarium experiences. Including a large fish spa, and also we can feed fish. A well-designed, clean and well-arranged system. There is a kid's play area and 12D theatres and others outside The ticket for adults 350 and kids above age 3 is 250. Highly recommended place to visit.

    It is a lot of fun and my family really enjoyed visiting here. Ticket for adult 350 kids above 3 250 include fish spa, fish feeding etc i think it's worth but management should consider some family packages. You can spend 2-3 hr easily. And beach is near you can visit there also

    This is a nice place where you can easily spend a day with your family. Lots of varieties of fishes were displayed here over 10 different setups, and you can go through these places and feel nice, on how these were done. There is kids play area with lots of rides. You can feed fishes. Kids can have boating on a small pool they installed here. For adults you have rides too.

    I don't know why this place is not yet much recognised. Should do more promotions (or equivalent) to bring notice to a wide range of people. This is really 'WOW'. Well maintained and designed. And worth for the entry fee. A great place to spend. And the guides(workers) are perfect. this place should be more popular. It's such an amazing spot. Never miss this experience if you have never visited an public aquarium like this, just go here and experience this amazing creation

    The experience was great. Honestly speaking, spending time with my family at Marine World was one of the best decisions i've taken recently. The facility projects foreign standards and its exclusively hygienic. The place is well maintained. I would suggest you all to visit here at 12pm or 1pm and after the Marine World visit, you can enjoy the evening at the Beach nearby. So you can spend a wonderful day with your friends and family here.

  • 3/5 Namal 2 years ago on Google
    As a play area for kids, the park, the rides and the beach are really good but if you're not an aqua enthusiast, the aquarium which charges Rs 350 for adults, Rs 300 for senior citizens and Rs 250 for kids is a bit overpriced I felt. Panchavadi Beach is attracting a good crowd near to this place. I don't recommend a far distance travelling just for the aquarium if you're not a fish enthusiast.. They have constructed the whole thing like a long building with air conditioning in different chambers..Their concept is good but as it happened I visited on a Sunday and there was heavy crowd inside the aquarium which was kind of suffocating.. Card facility for ticket payment is available and there is enough parking space..Avoid Sundays to be comfortable.

    Was very impressed with everything I saw. Overall I really did enjoyed myself with my family. Friendly staff, the aquarium is well-maintained. Worth every penny. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work!👍 Really enjoying this place. A lot of aquatics life available for viewing. Comfortable place maybe because we come in weekdays. Worth the ticket cost. Recommended in your bucket list if you go to thrissur. Recommended to visit in evening time so you can visit beautiful beach neat by. Time spend: 2 to 3 hours Staff : excellent Aquarium: excellent Birds park: Average Praying area: Average

  • 5/5 Syed R. 1 year ago on Google
    This one went above expectations, very well designed with many themes. We were in a hurry so here are my views to effectively utilize and experience marine life. 1. Recommend to visit early in the morning for fish spa in first section, and take your time there as you can’t reenter that place if you move to different section. 2. One of the section is feeding sting ray, the feeding is done only in morning. Another reason to visit in the morning 3. There are lot of places to sit and view marine life, take your time 4. You may think the tank is empty but you will find a fish there, so read the boards 5. The walk through glass tube is at the end, you may find a scuba diver who is quite funny and active. 6. Try to visit during a weekday. PS: I was interested reg feeding piranhas, staff mentioned it happens early in the morning when the aquarium is closed and it’s not viewable for public

    This place has wide variety of Aquatics and looks very well maintained. Ample parking space and they charge about ₹100 as fee which is refundable upon purchasing Entry tickets. Entry tickets for Adults are priced about ₹350 and it is on pricier side In-house restaurant offer food but it is of average quality only.

    A large variety of fishes are available. Fish spa and fish hand feeding at the last is included in the ticket. In between there are some activities that needs extra tickets of 20,30rs etc. Good place to spend 2 to 3 hrs. It closes at 7pm for weekends and 6.30 for other days. There is no parking fees and good parking space available.

  • 5/5 muhamed Ilyas n. 9 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend visiting this location at least once. It boasts an incredible collection of marine species and offers a wide range of activities, particularly suitable for families with children. However, it is worth noting that the ticket prices are a bit on the expensive side, with adults costing ₹400 and kids above 90cm tall priced at ₹280. As a result, if you plan on visiting with your entire family, it could be a little costly. On a positive note, the ticket price includes a fish spa experience, which I found to be superb. All in all, I believe this place is the perfect destination for families or groups of friends looking to have a fun-filled time.

  • 4/5 Jaseem Shakeel M. 4 months ago on Google
    A good place to visit with kids and family. A well organized and maintained place will give you the next level experience. Entry fee is 400 for adults , 350 for senior citizens and 280 for kids below ten years and above 95 cm height. You can take as many photos but not be allowed to use flash lights. In their site they have given that the online ticket facility will start soon. Ample parking space. You can enjoy the free fish spa inside. I liked that tunnel area a lot. Best place to take students for a trip. You can spend about 2 hours there. It's fully air-conditioned. They will take free photos and you can purchase them later on the counter paying 200 rupees. I felt like that amount was a little high. (But not compulsory 😊). There are some outside activities also attached to the beach. Small food counters and a restaurant are also available, we did not try the food from there , so can't comment on it. Overall I enjoyed it well. What we are experiencing is the result of long years of hard work👏, I heard that they started work in 2007, so visitors please follow their instructions and keep this venture in better condition.

    First of all, this is a great place for fish lovers because there a wide variety of fishes here. The main think that makes this place interesting is the design. There are plenty of arts and sculptures here. Moreover kids will love this place because there are different type of games available here. The 16D cinema is also a great enjoyment. In addition there are many shops that give us a good shopping experience. The cleaning and maintenance team is appreciated for maintaining this place nicely.

    I totally enjoyed moments with my children. They enjoyed it a lot. But the staff behaviour makes you crazy. Inside there is a photo session area, they will call you to take a free photo but only photo taking is free. If you need a copy then you need to pay 200 rupees.

    Good facility, worth paying entry fee of 400 rs. Well behaved staff inside facility. Very good collection of fishes mostly fresh water fishes. Some varieties of marine also available, visual treat for eyes. Kids will like this place for sure. If you are around that area must visit place. Reduced stars to 3, was 5. Visit 2: Parking experience was not so great. The person near parking area don’t even know how to talk to customers. Person with a bad attitude. Not expecting these kind of nonsense people at the entry point. They are more keen to give customers for private parking boomed around this place. Few additions after my first visit.

Different types of rides. 12D cinemax, inflated play stations. Kids play stations. Fish feeding.

    Probably the best of this kind in Kerala. Easy access and sufficient parking including the pay parking facility for big vehicles. Restaurants, toilets and prayer rooms at multiple places. Rides, slides and other play areas for kids. Bird park. Pretty large and amazing aquarium both children and adults would enjoy. Electric beach buggy ride and public beach in the vicinity

  • 4/5 Sandeev M. 5 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Dany John V. 2 years ago on Google
    A place for kids and adults alike to spend time. This place will also be a help to those who are studying about fishes. There is a children's park and other facilities here. This aquarium is located very close to the beach. There are views to enjoy for more than about two hours here. If you want to enjoy this aquarium without much rush then it is advisable not to go on holidays.

  • 4/5 Lalbi P. 6 months ago on Google
    The greatest location to go to see fish and other aquatic animals up close. This is a great place to spend a day trip. The kids will undoubtedly enjoy themselves and be content. The staff members are helpful and pleasant. Although the entrance costs are a little bit expensive, they are still reasonable given the abundance of water life and the excellent facilities they offer. In addition to taking pictures, you may feed the fish. The kids are also capable of catching fish. There is a kids' play area, but we have to pay extra for it. It's a really positive experience all around.

Inside is a Large space for aquarium and outside is for play and u can go to beach nearby. Hourse riding and other activities are highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Ami Rai E. 10 months ago on Google
    Marine world is a super awesome place to be. It is situated in Chavakkad and very close to the beach. If you are going to famous Guruvayur temple, this place can be a pit stop. There are a lot of varieties of fishes set up in a beautiful way. The fishes are from different parts of the world - be it sea, fresh water, tropical region, etc. Entry fee is Rs.400 for adults and Rs.280 for kids below 8 years. It includes fish spa and fish feeding as well. We spent almost two hours. If we had more time, we could have spent time at children park and bird feeding place. Better plan for minimum half day to visit this place. Amble car parking facility. Staff are friendly and good service. For optimal conditions, they try to keep the lights dim/low. So, it is hard to get good photos.

  • 5/5 Abhijath 9 months ago on Google
    You should visit this place at least once. A must visit location in Kerala. Amazing place with lots of activities to do especially for families with kids. I only went there for the aquarium and it was amazing. The tickets only cost ₹400 and it was worth every paisa. They also have a fish spa which is included in the ticket. The experience was superb and I recommend this place as a place to have fun with your family or friends.

  • 5/5 Silhouette S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an amazing public aquarium. They have all kinds of rare fishes and even sharks, and other varieties of fishes that we don't normally see even in first world nations. You can get a fish spa experience as well The aquarium is well designed, slightly dimly lit with sculptures of Sirens, Mermaids, and those resembling Mayan and Egyptian civilizations and even huge sculptures of animals and dinosaurs. There are snack bars and cool bars inside the facility, though food is allowed only in some parts of the facility, which is understandable. People of all ages will have something to see though reaching certain spaces requires you to climb (not too many) stairs. Kids would love it.

  • 4/5 vasudevan t k. 10 months ago on Google
    Marine World Public Aquarium is the first one of its kind, I think, in Kerala. The location is absolutely fit for the purpose. On the shore of Arabian Sea. They have created it with a vision. It is really a well planned well maintained aquarium where families can spend their time in high spirits. The diversity of fish species is really amazing. The ambience they created do wonders in the minds of the visitors. The back ground designed classically and we will be in a dream inside the aquarium. Every body should make a visit to this place at least once in his lifetime. Extra enjoyments for children is there like bumping cars, boating, and other plays. There is coffee shops and restaurants in and around the property. There is another attraction in the form of a vast beautiful beach, The Panchavadi Beach, just five minutes away from the aquarium.

  • 5/5 Aparna 10 months ago on Google
    It's wonderful place. We have a lot of things to explore there.. A variety of aquatic species. Different types of fish, turtles, and marine species. What we need for there is time.. We need almost a complete day to explore the park. It'll be a great experience for kids and adults. There is an entry fee of 400 rupees for adults and 280 rupees for kids.
