★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,454 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $30Our pick

Review of Lisbon Oceanarium, with 8,000 animals, a huge central tank, practical tips, pricing, crowds, exhibits, and booking advice.

“Easy experience going through the aquarium exhibits. Not too crowded. Spent so much time with the sea otters which seemed almosT in reach. The design with the large tank in the center allows for multiple viewing opportunities all throughout your stay. Great way to start our Lisbon trip with jet lagged teens”

2.Diving in the Madeira Aquarium

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 215 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $163Top rated

Swim with sharks, rays, and morays at Madeira Aquarium in Porto Moniz, with expert instruction, full equipment, and a small group of four.

“Booked for a family of 4 on the basis that this activity was for a maximum of 4 people. On the day we arrived on time but were advised that they were running approximately 30 late and that another person was joining the group. This added around another 45 mins to the activity which meant a lot of waiting around wet & a little cold. On a positive note the instructor was great, particularly with the kids and overall it was a fab family experience”
