Such and engaging place to be, with some fantastic exhibits. Favourites were the sea otters and the sunfish in the main tank.

The Lisbon Oceanarium gives an experience really full of emotions and surprises!
Very rich and very well organized and set in a beautiful context! Not to be missed!

Perfect to do during your 5-hour transfer time at Lisbon Airport during a trip from Sao Miguel to Amsterdam.

Great acquarium with lots of different fish and other animals to see. From sharks to pinguins and otters. It's an interactive tour and quite big. We finished the tour in 1.5 hr but you can definitely stay for 3 hours if you take your time

The place itself was outrageous-or at least those parts that we could get close to. I had booked our tickets days before but the venue was so so so overcrowded that it nearly ruined our tour. I think it would make sense to create a limit for people visiting the facility at the same time. Otherwise the staff was very kind, and if you don't want to stand in a (longer) queue it's good to book your ticket in advance.

The exhibition "Forrest under water" is a game changer. Absolutely astonishing. The shop is wonderful. The aquarium and the conditions of the animals and fish are also very good. And the cause is great. Please, keep up with the food work on saving lives.

Super fast online ticket purchase, in about 10 to 15 minutes we had the tickets in the email. We avoided the queue at the ticket office, super practical!

The Aquarium was housed in a gorgeous building and really well laid out. At first we thought it was just one big tank, with viewing from lots of different angles, but there were lots of different zones and species (including penguins!) to make it really interesting and feel like excellent value for money. We support animal charities and are happy to help in animal welfare and sustainability efforts. It was great to see lots of children there, learning about the ocean, our planet and how they can help it.
I think the area leading up to the Aquarium could be a bit more attractive / better signposted; we arrived in a taxi and it felt like we were in an industrial estate and weren't sure where the entrance was...
The Takashi Amano exhibition was fantastic, and we also enjoyed the ONE film - although we nearly missed it, because it wasn't as well advertised.
The cafe was also a very nice area to sit - the exterior area was lovely in the sun - and I'm delighted that there was a good variety of vegetarian options.
I would highly recommend this attraction for visitors.

Our favorite animals were the jellyfish, the sea otters, the moonfish and the sharks.

We had such an amazing time exploring the Oceanarium and we were filled with wonder at every corner. We will definitely visit again. Ticketing was a breeze.

There did not seem to be many exhibits, unless we missed them. No jellyfish. No sea horses. Not enough lifts. Long, steep ramps were difficult and stairs are impossible.
My nieces loved the otters and penguins. They also loved the cable car.

Organized and clean. Unfortunately it was very crowded and it was a bit difficult for the children to see the animals as there were always people in front of them. We've been there with fewer people and it was much better

Very overcrowded and no person monitoring traffic flow. Traffic patterns made it didficult to get good views without forcing one's way to the viewing areas.

I loved my visit to the aquarium. The temporary exhibitions are very beautiful and immersive. The aquarium itself is very well designed. You take your time and it's relaxing to admire the fish.

All the facilities, the amount of different spieces of fish, the big screens with the ocean outside the big oqenarium, ofcourse the gift shop and especially the documentary about how the facilities work and how the fish are being treated.

The facilities are very spacious and bright. It lacks some explanation of the marine fauna, it is somewhat scarce.
The surroundings are very good with lots of gastronomy and shopping.

The visit was a Christmas gift for a 10year´ s boy, finally realized. As it was his wish to visit this place we all were fully satisfied and enthusiastic . In our country ( Czech republik) we really don´t have such an opportunity to observe the sea world.

The variety of species and the aesthetics. I could have sat there all day, it was so peaceful! I really enjoyed reading about the ecological effects and relation to the ocean/ what lives in the ocean.

The aquarium was the only thing open on Christmas day, so it was a good activity. There were lots of people there. I definitely recommend getting your tickets ahead of time. The line to get tickets was very long. The aquarium is lovely. I think the sea otters were probably the most fun between them and the penguins. Very similar to Ripleys in Toronto.
