A dolphin will greet visitors to a movable freshwater tunnel aquarium, which was opened at Bengaluru City Railway Station on Thursday.
The first-of-its-kind aquarium i
n an Indian railway station has been set up by Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Limited (IRSDC) in collaboration with HNi Aquatic Kingdom.
When visitors enter the aquatic park, a dolphin will greet them with a “slight bow and a smile.”
The aquarium, aimed at providing passengers waiting for their trains a good time, is based on the concept of Amazon river and promises to be a visual treat, IRSDC said in a statement.
The aquatic park will also help Indian Railways earn some revenue. Entry tickets will be Rs 25 per person.
During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, strict norms have been put in place whereby not more than 25 people can visit the aquarium at a time.
IRSDC added that the 12-feet long aquatic kingdom is Indian Railways’ first paludarium housing myriad flora and fauna.
