One of the best aquariums I’ve been to, easily. The central tank is insane - massive, crystal clear, and you keep coming back to it from different angles, spotting something new every time. What makes it stand out is how well it’s designed. It flows properly, never feels crowded or chaotic, and each ecosystem is done with real detail - from the colder environments to the tropical sections. Everything feels premium, clean, and actually relaxing to walk through. Not rushed, not gimmicky, just done right. If you’re in Lisbon, don’t overthink it - this is 100% worth doing.

I missed the tour but had an amazing time wondering around the aquarium. Getting to see animals up close and admire them has been amazing. Could have spend longer there.

What I liked best was the visit to the aquarium. Everything was very interesting and beautifully designed. I was particularly impressed by the sharks and the colorful fish.

The Oceanário de Lisboa + Telecabine Cable Car combo is a fantastic way to experience the modern side of Lisbon. The Oceanário is world-class, featuring a massive central tank that makes you feel immersed in the deep sea. Seeing the sea otters and penguins up close was a definite highlight for both kids and adults. Adding the Telecabine is well worth the extra few euros. It offers a peaceful 10-minute ride with breathtaking panoramic views of the Tagus River and the Vasco da Gama Bridge. It's a relaxing way to see the Parque das Nações waterfront from a unique perspective without the city rush.

An incredible visit to the oceanarium! The highlights of this visit include seeing the giant otters, the penguins, and the sunfish in the large tank with the sharks. We were also very happy to be in a place sheltered from the sun during this sweltering afternoon. In this aquarium, there are several benches and areas where you can sit and watch all the species in this enormous tank. There isn’t much information about some of the fish, so I’d recommend using Google Lens to scan these species. Enjoy your visit!

My kids loved this aquarium and so did we. The main tank was easily our favorite. And you have multiple areas and angles to view it. The add elevators readily available for people woth strollers which was very helpful. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the tanks. The bottom level had lots of cool things be very congested. We added on the cable car which was absolutey worth it especially with kids. Gave a nice walking break but to see lots of things as well.
