We loved wandering through at our own pace and just enjoying the wonder of this amazing colourful experience. I'm sure a guide will add to it if you like that but it is so easy and magical to follow the path through alone. The fish, penguins and other birds all look so healthy and are clearly well cared for and that makes it an absolute joy to visit. A fabulous place to destress as you explore and begin to feel more and more relaxed - now that can only be good for our health too.

As a scuba diver, I could really appreciate how well-kept the animals' habitats are, along with a great variety of beautiful, healthy creatures. The central tank is fantastic, and all the small and large viewing windows around it give you the chance to look into every corner from a different perspective. The display tanks on the right are also very nice—the one with the dragonfish is absolutely fabulous!

Takashi Amano's project, spectacularly created with much reflection, study, and heart as a gift to Lisbon, is spectacular. The marine species from every corner of this world make us reflect on the importance of preserving nature's ecosystems. The striking quote of this place: Sea! Half of my soul is made of sea spray.

The huge aquariums are impressive and allow you to enjoy marine life in a very special way. Everything is very clean, organized, and the atmosphere is peaceful and pleasant.

My visit to Lisbon was the Oceanário de Lisboa. I loved watching Ocean creatures different fishes and sharks, and I was especially impressed by watching Pinguins because in our country not chance to see it. Standing in front of the huge aquarium, I felt calm . Even though my visit was short, it gave me a moment to slow down and enjoy the beauty of marine life. If in the future will come Lsbon again my first place to visit will be this place.

We had no idea about the Expo 98 area - we enjoyed the garden and restaurants! The aquarium was exceptional- loved the calming of the entire experience. Cable cars were the icing on the cake.
