How do Oceanário de Lisboa tickets work?

The aquarium sells its own tickets, and the price changes with the time you enter, with later slots usually cheaper, as of Oct 2026. When booking, check whether your ticket also covers the temporary exhibition next door. The Book box on this page shows partner tickets and current prices.

What are the Oceanário's opening hours?

It is typically open 10:00 AM–8:00 PM every day, with last entry at 7:00 PM, as of Oct 2026. Next special hours: 24 December 2026: 10:00-19:00, last entry 18:00. Because it is indoors and stays open into the evening, it suits a grey afternoon.

How long does a visit to the Lisbon Oceanarium take?

Many visitors allow about 90–120 min, as of Oct 2026. The route circles a large central tank and passes coastal habitats with sea otters and penguins; going back to the lower level for close views, or adding a temporary exhibition, makes the visit longer.

What do you see inside the Oceanário?

The permanent exhibition, One Planet, One Ocean, wraps around a huge central tank that you view from two levels, with sharks and rays gliding below. Smaller habitats recreate coasts, from sea otters in a cold bay to penguins on a rocky shore, and temporary shows change over time.
