Oceanário de Lisboa - Visiting the Oceanário de Lisboa offers a remarkable experience, allowing guests to explore and feel the enchanting magic of the underwater realm. Embark on this reflective journey to encounter 8,000 marine creatures from 500 diverse species.
The permanent exhibition (Aquarium) honors life on Earth with a central 5-million-liter saltwater aquarium, encircled by four marine habitats that represent the North Atlantic, Antarctic, Temperate Pacific, and Tropical Indian Ocean. This design creates the illusion of viewing a single aquarium and ocean. The tour spans two levels, both terrestrial and underwater, traversing the temperate, tropical, and cold waters of the planet’s various oceans.
Additionally, explore the “Forests Underwater,” a masterpiece by Takashi Amano, showcasing tropical forests through the world’s largest nature aquarium, and the new “Submerged Universe” exhibition, an immersive journey into the vastness of the ocean.

Outstanding Experience - This was an outstanding exhibition and so worth the visit. It was a truly incredible experience and the design of the exhibits are just outstanding. It as an experience that will suit all ages and interests. The shop was beautiful and we had lunch in the restaurant which we thought would be very expensive but it was very reasonable and the food was excellent. You can't go to Lisbon and miss this amazing experience.

Enlightening, entertaining and exceptional experience! - What an amazing guided tour of the aquarium! Our guide was Bruno, a professional with the education department of the aquarium. He made this an enlightening, entertaining, and exceptional experience! Our party was 2 adults and Bruno quickly figured out how to make the tour relevant for us at our general level of knowledge about sea animals. Bruno’s had such enthusiasm for every exhibit visited together. We learned so much and had an enjoyable time!

Great aquarium - It’s one of the best aquariums in Europe—beautifully curated, scientifically grounded, and genuinely memorable. If you’re in Lisbon, it’s absolutely worth the visit.

Dallas TX - The aquarium is repetitive and all one large tank. My baby enjoyed it though and it was affordable and indoors. Stroller friendly and lots of elevators and changing rooms.
