The exhibits are quite beautiful and fascinating! Our only criticisms are that the hallways need better lighting, maybe using color stripes would also help and I wanted more detailed information about the marine life and ocean - maybe an audio guide is needed.

I was a little scared to do the Telecabine as I have a moderate fear of heights. However, the telecabine was so secure and did not shake that I was able to enjoy myself without stressing about the heights. The Oceanário was just mind blowing with all the different species of sea creatures. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was money well spent.

Getting tickets was easy. It was good to see there were reductions for seniors. We enoyed the aquarium far more than we expected. It was set out really well and we spent around 3 hours inside. The cable car was enoyable but we were very disappointed to discover that we were expected to pay extra for the viewing tower. That was not made clear.

    I have always wanted to see sharks. This aquarium made my wish come true. It's a beautiful place, it has interesting educational content. I also loved the short film projection about human connection to the ocean.
