We offer a trip to Lisbon to my children as one of their Christmas presents (we are from Porto). And of course one of the places they want to after the zoo was the “Oceanário”. We have been there 3 times already but it was the first time to my younger daughter (almost 4 years old). And she “is in... more

This attraction was built as part of Expo 1998 in Lisbon and doesn't seem to get as much attention as it deserves.

The Oceanarium is easy to reach. Take the metro to Oriente (Red Line), then walk through the huge 'Vasco da Gama' shopping mall (good buffet lunches on top floor - remember that here you pay by weight so don't overload your plate), then turn right and it's 5 minutes' walk. Admission is 9 euros, with a small reduction for students.... more

although this place was really nice it wasnt the biggest as was expected.. it was really great to see animals like sea otters playing and penguins and stuff, the one thing that amazed me tho was this odd looking fish that looked like a no shell turtle on its side, and flippers one on top one on bottom flapping same... more
