I’ve been to quite a few oceanariums, so wasn’t blown away as expected, but it was still time well spent. 2 downsides for me were quite a bit less habitats than I expected (again, comparing to some other similar places) and crowds of people, which is expected for August, but still - I wish there was a limit of how many people can visit at once. As a result, I feel that the price could have been lower, but still - it’s worth the visit. Kids loved to see some birds just 1 meter away and without any fence in between. The central huge aquarium is impressive. And the whole building is really cool. Remember to look in the water when going on the bridge to or from the building - there are big fish and jellyfish in the ocean too.

We loved the Oceanário de Lisboa, we have spend around 2-2.5 hours there and admired all the beautiful species of fish, sharks and rays in the different tanks. The centre tank is huge and can be viewed from multiple angles. I also loved to smaller tanks with penguins and otters. The aquascape called: underwater forest by Takashi Amano was also amazing to observe, So many living plants in a giant U shaped tank. And hundreds of tiny fish were living in it! I would certainly recommend to visit the Oceanário when u are visiting Lisbon Digital tickets are very easy as there was a long row in front of the ticket sale.

Stunning, really stunning! When your outside, it seems really small but inside it suddenly goes on and on. We spent well over two hours here, there was so much too see. What you have to know is that there are obviously lots of children and there might be crowds infront of the aquarium windows so there's a little wait. But it's beautiful and was definitely worth it.
