About
A small beachfront aquarium with marine and freshwater fish, popular with children.
Matsyadarshini is a small public aquarium on the RK Beach promenade, run by VMRDA. Its tanks hold a mix of marine and freshwater species, from colourful reef fish to larger river fish.
It is a short visit that children enjoy, and easy to fit into an evening on the beach between the museums and the snack stalls.
Opening hours and fees change from time to time, so check before you go.
