Bengaluru Aquarium is a three-storey octagonal building at the entrance of Cubbon Park, Bengaluru, covering 2,700 sq m with 850 sq m built up. The ground floor holds the office, the first floor has 14 large tanks, and the second floor holds 62 medium and small aquaria in two rows. Its entrance carries a yellow band with Kannada inscriptions and a gold emblem of two opposed fish above the word "AQUARIUM".

Construction began in 1972 and led to the opening in August 1983. The facility was designed as India's second-largest aquarium to provide access to native aquatic ecosystems.

School groups up to the 10th standard enter at a reduced ticket rate of Rs.5 per head, which makes the aquarium a regular stop for class visits from across Bengaluru. The displays of indigenous and exotic freshwater ornamental fish, from eels and angelfish to the red-tail shark and Indian tiger barb, are labelled for study. The Kannada name Bengaluru Matsyalaya appears in gold script above the two-fish emblem at the entrance.

The aquarium is open from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM, closing on Mondays, the second and fourth Tuesdays, and government holidays; it stays open on 26 January, 15 August and 1 November. Entry costs Rs.150 per person, Rs.5 for school groups up to class 10, and is free for children under five. The ground floor holds the office, the first floor 14 large tanks, and the second floor 62 smaller aquaria in two rows.

The second floor holds 62 medium and small tanks in two rows, not 69. The aquarium keeps 40 to 50 varieties of freshwater ornamental fish, among them eels, angelfish, glowlight tetra, red-tail shark, catla, Indian tiger barb and freshwater prawns.
