India’s first-ever and largest walk-through aquarium is located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The aquarium is built adjacent to the VGP Universal Kingdom Theme and Water Park covering an area of 7,500 sq.m.
Stating on its largeness, VGP Ravidas, MD of VGP Marine Kingdom said, “With this unique aquarium, we are trying to introduce the concept of edutainment in India. The aquarium is equipped with a teaching lab and classrooms to cater to young children. We plan to provide an immersive experience to our visitors in the underwater world. With this project, Indian tourists will no longer have to visit other countries to experience the new-age aquariums.”
This seventy-meter aquarium is the first of its kind in India that houses both freshwater fishes from India’s mainland and marine lives from the Indian Ocean. From the marine population, the aquarium includes sharks, rays, and many more which also serve as a shelter to the marine species from the oceans of Indonesia and Malaysia.
