ABOUT
The Oceanarium first opened its doors to the public during Expo 98 where it was a central exhibit. It intended to demonstrate how the Earths seas and oceans are interconnected. The oceanarium was designed by Peter Chermayeff LLC, a Massachusetts-based architectural company that has been specialising in aquarium architecture and exhibition design since 1975. Lisbon's Oceanarium is Europe's second-largest. Its main point of focus is the massive central two-story tank which holds a staggering five million litres of seawater and is larger than four Olympic-sized swimming pools. Surrounding the central tank are four ecological tanks separated by acrylic barriers to give the illusion of one massive tank. These tanks represent different coastal habitats such as; coast of the North Atlantic, the coastal rims of the Antarctic, the kelp forest of the temperate Pacific, and the coral reefs of the tropical Indian Ocean. The lower level is darkened and contains smaller tanks that house shoals of brightly coloured tropical fish and other warm-water creatures. Collectively the Oceanarium is home to around 8,000 fish and marine animals and over 500 species of plants.
The Oceanarium is one of Lisbon's most popular family attractions and can get very busy. Expect to queue to enter, especially on weekends, even though on weekdays you'll still likely encounter numerous visiting school trips. So then it's advised to make the Oceanarium the first point of call when visiting the Parque das Nações and arrive as early as you can. That said, the Oceanarium is a fantastic way to spend a few hours submerged in another world.
