Lisbon Oceanarium

The Lisbon Oceanarium is the largest in Europe and was truly an amazing experience. They had a special exhibit featuring turtles that allowed us to both walk over the turtles swimming in water as well as sitting under them. We were all entranced. They also had a massive tank in the middle, which included some fish I'd never seen before. The Oceanarium was divided into temperate zone and had so many further subdivisions that we weren't able to see them all before we had to leave for lunch. Unfortunately, they do not have a cafeteria and have a no re-entry policy. After finding some food, we also found a huge lawn behind the Oceanarium perfect for running and a cable car that needed to be ridden. It was a great day and the kids are disappointed we won't be able to make it back.
