Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Arrive at opening time (10 AM). The first hour is blissfully quiet. By 11 AM it is packed with school groups.
The outdoor area has a small playground and the best view of the Tagus River. Great decompress spot.
Combine with Vasco da Gama shopping centre next door for lunch. Better value than the aquarium cafe.
Otter feeding times (11 AM and 3 PM) are most popular. Stake out a spot 15 minutes early.
Don't rush. The central tank is mesmerizing. Kids will want to circle it multiple times.

A Real Parent's Story
She waved at the penguins and one waved back
“My 3-year-old stood at the penguin exhibit for 25 minutes. She waved. A penguin tilted its head and flapped.”

We almost skipped the Oceanarium because our daughter is only 3. Wrong. The moment we walked into the giant tank room, she gasped. We were there for 3 hours.
