This is a must see place! The central tank is massive and you can see in from many different angles. It has sharks, tuna, and a gigantic sunfish!! He seemed to know he was the star and made many trips passed visitors. Several times, we just sat on the floor right up against the glass and stared at the passing... more

During our Easter week 2009 visit to Lisbon, my wife read this was a "must see" place. We took the Metro to Orietnte station on the red line, got off & walked the short distance to it. It is very well done & worth a visit. Especially if you have young children with you, they will enjoy it! Yes, the... more

We offer a trip to Lisbon to my children as one of their Christmas presents (we are from Porto). And of course one of the places they want to after the zoo was the “Oceanário”. We have been there 3 times already but it was the first time to my younger daughter (almost 4 years old). And she “is in... more

This attraction was built as part of Expo 1998 in Lisbon and doesn't seem to get as much attention as it deserves. It is a very special aquarium - the best we've seen -- and should not be missed if you have an extra several hours in Lisbon. The Expo park is a taxi ride from downtown or the Eduardo... more

We were there last April, 2006. The Oceanarium is great. It is well kept and the exhibitions, specially the penguins and the otters are amazing. more

Having now visited the Oceanarium for the second time, I can honestly say that I enjoyed both trips equally. By the way, the large fish mentioned in a previous review is called a Sun Fish. Not a bad looking fish, just unusual and his numbers a declining quickly in the wild. I'm sure children of all ages would enjoy a... more

The Oceanarium is easy to reach. Take the metro to Oriente (Red Line), then walk through the huge 'Vasco da Gama' shopping mall (good buffet lunches on top floor - remember that here you pay by weight so don't overload your plate), then turn right and it's 5 minutes' walk. Admission is 9 euros, with a small reduction for students.... more

although this place was really nice it wasnt the biggest as was expected.. it was really great to see animals like sea otters playing and penguins and stuff, the one thing that amazed me tho was this odd looking fish that looked like a no shell turtle on its side, and flippers one on top one on bottom flapping same... more
