The central tank acted as a touchstone for the ocean as we went to each of the represented areas. My sister is in a wheelchair and there were always friendly staff to show us to elevators as needed.

The aquarium is one of the best I have been to. I especially loved their Sea Dragons! I got there early and it was not too crowded. By the time I left it was packed. Get there early to avoid the crowds.

This is a great place architecturally and the main tank is terrific. I feel there are not enough satellite tanks around the edges - some hallways are long and empty. And the Forest Tanks st the beginning are neat, but have only a few dozen fish inside. It could all e so much better. Sigh.

A beautiful aquarium, but very crowded and not always easy to get to. I really enjoyed the Amano freshwater aquarium and the proximity to certain species. The large aquarium is great, but I expected to see more around it.

Beautiful large aquarium with lots of fish species and sharks. Especially nice are the jellyfish and coral. I expected it to be bigger inside but mostly we were disappointed by the huge line to enter despite having purchased tickets online for a specific time. There needs to be improved organization for time slots for entry for those who have already purchased tickets

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.

All the animals are wonderful, I loved the experience. Personally the only thing that makes it less good is the fact that it's so crowded... being in a closed and crowded environment is quite uncomfortable for me. Apart from that, everything was excellent!

The oceanarium is great, it is a totally recommended plan for both children and adults. The only thing I missed was a part with turtles, it would have been perfect. As for the experience with Headout, I was very happy. I found it super easy to buy tickets and have access to them at all times (even offline). Arriving there just to present the barcode without waiting in line at the box office is a joy.

It was that overcrowed that i could barely see the small tanks.. also having this big tank in the center and have tens of spots for a glimse turned out to be boring. The outside venues were nice. I didnt see a sunfish that a poster got my attention. It was too hot. Maybe i would be more impressed if it was the first time in an aquarium.. anyway with 1/4 of poeple inside it would be way better.

We love sea animals. Everything related to zoo is perfect. Here are the downsides: You can't buy tickets from Oceanarium website for the same day visit. It's simply not possible to choose the same day. I had to go via another website, where you can't buy the tickets for the cable car. The photographers have made photos from me and my family, and we bought the photos for hefty 30eur (ticket for oceanarium is 25eur, and 1 minute work of a rather bad photographer is 30eur), but photos are extremely low quality. Print is bad (colors are unreal), and there's some weird effect to them, we can barely recognise ourselves. And that's a disappointment, it should have been a nice memory. Anyway, we're happy we visited

The Lisboacard is highly recommended. We bought it for 3 days and it was really worth it. You don't have to queue when you visit the Castello San Jorge. The left row is for Lisboacard holders and it's quicker. Use of the streetcar, streetcar and public buses are included. Entrance to numerous museums is also included. Please visit the Museum de Azulejos with its beautiful church. You can order the card online and pick it up at the Tourist Office (at the airport or in the city)

The central tank acted as a touchstone for the ocean as we went to each of the represented areas. My sister is in a wheelchair and there were always friendly staff to show us to elevators as needed.

The aquarium is one of the best I have been to. I especially loved their Sea Dragons! I got there early and it was not too crowded. By the time I left it was packed. Get there early to avoid the crowds.

This is a great place architecturally and the main tank is terrific. I feel there are not enough satellite tanks around the edges - some hallways are long and empty. And the Forest Tanks st the beginning are neat, but have only a few dozen fish inside. It could all e so much better. Sigh.

A beautiful aquarium, but very crowded and not always easy to get to. I really enjoyed the Amano freshwater aquarium and the proximity to certain species. The large aquarium is great, but I expected to see more around it.

A spectacular site, surrounded by nature. It gives a lot of peace. Well organized and they knew how to make the most of everything. We ate at the restaurant and liked the food very much and the price was quite good.

Beautiful large aquarium with lots of fish species and sharks. Especially nice are the jellyfish and coral. I expected it to be bigger inside but mostly we were disappointed by the huge line to enter despite having purchased tickets online for a specific time. There needs to be improved organization for time slots for entry for those who have already purchased tickets

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.

what a wonderful experience vibrant colours beautifully coordinated rooms great staff we went above and beyond to make our day a little bit special restaurant that was reasonable and food was very very nice gardens were amazing. Only thing I would say was a drawback with the annoying Drivers that really did if anything spoil our experience having a net it was great but as a warning to others going to the pen Palace, they're not trust or use the book took Drivers. They're out there to rip you off.
