Lisbon's famous oceanarium is Europe's second-largest aquarium and is a popular attraction with plenty of appeal for both youngsters and oldies alike. The air is alive with the sounds of children's whoops and nervous laughter as large fish, a huge surprised looking sunfish and sharks come right up to the glass. Laughter is guaranteed when watching two sea-otters lay on their backs, rubbing their paws together with a serene smile on their faces. The oceanarium aims to be both educational and entertaining. A day out to the oceanarium makes the perfect choice if the weather outside is too hot or too wet.
