Combo (Save 5%):STL Guided Tour of SL Benfica Stadium & Museum + Lisboa's Oceanário Ticket

The large display tank was really beautiful. The small tanks were disappointing—few fish and poorly lit. The jellyfish tank was sparsely populated. According to a staff member, there was no freshwater tank; he had no idea what I was talking about and wasn’t interested in helping me. But I’m already used to that from Lisbon. I found it anyway. I was very disappointed with the water quality. I found milky water instead of clear water. I’m not used to that in Germany. Yeah, I had expected more from the visit. I can’t recommend it. Too bad...

The circular layout of the Ocenarium around the main tank symbolizing "One Ocean" is a great idea. I've never seen anything like this anywhere else. I've never seen Sea Dragons anywhere else either. Instead of separating every part of the world, I felt that we are all connected by the same body of water thus sharing the same connection and the same responsibility to protect this precious liquid that give birth to life millions of years ago.

The entire tour was very well organized, from the initial welcome with the souvenir scarf to the end at the gift shop with the magnet. I thought that was a nice touch. The stadium is very beautiful, with a good view of the field from the various sections. We toured the interior, including the press room, locker rooms, access corridors, and other areas. Getting onto the field is really cool.

Today we went to the Lisbon Aquarium. It’s truly a delight to walk around there and enjoy all the beautifully recreated worlds. The most beautiful part—and what really made an impression—is the underwater world with large sharks and rays and all the other extraordinary fish, including the very special sunfish; see photo

I enjoyed the many different displays of ecosystems and habitats that are present in our world. The film about ocean diving and sea life was exceptional. I would like to see the jelly fish changed to Jellies or Sea Jellies since they are not fish, and also star fish are also not fish and should be called Sea Stars.
