We booked to stay at a hotel nearby, and when I saw the words Parque das Nações, I presumed, not…read moreincorrectly, that it means national park. So I was looking for a big swath of greenery and dense wood... and found none. After my Yelp check in, I learned that this used to be an expo location that has been converted to an urban open space for people to chill. It's a nice spot actually, you can walk along the river and enjoy some nice views, although my husband's plan of a daily morning run never materialized, as all the walking in Lisbon took a toll on the legs. Nonetheless, the view is beautiful, and the sculptures along the walk are intriguing. There are plenty of restaurants, as well as some structures that look like concert halls, and at one end there is the shopping center.

Overlooking the water, it's an open area surrounded by flag staffs and concrete pavers leading to the bay. It's right next to the Vasco Gama Center which has a lot of foot traffic resembling a metropolitan skyscraper-filed zone with plenty of city appeal. If you're looking to hug a tree, you should look elsewhere. If you're into open areas where people can gather and stroll around, this might be your spot. My feet were on fire from climbing all those hills up and down all day so I was actually thrilled to see flat terrain for once...and so were my feet. There's nice sculptures and fresh breeze to soak in while overlooking the boasting new metropolis in Lisboa.

The front desk clerk at our hotel gave directions to the taxi driver to take us to Oriente for…read moreshops, restaurants, supposed happening place. It was evident that the taxi driver had no clue where to drop us off. As he drove he kept shrugging his shoulders and lifting his hands palm up. Of course there was a sudden downpour and people outside were running or getting out their umbrellas. Fast forward he let us off at this casino. Nothing like Vegas. Women were scarce except for workers at the bar. No scantily revealing uniforms. No showgirls visible or shows of slot machines lighting up. Men were at the tables. We asked the man on the first floor where are the restaurants? He said try the 2 nd floor. We took the elevator up. People were scanning something to enter like you do at a Japan train station. I asked a worker and she spoke English so well. She said scan your passport. I told her I left it back at the hotel. Hooray Hawaii drivers licenses counted. She took it from us then gave us a ticket to use saying good til 3 a.m. I asked her where are the restaurants? She pointed to the right back of us, that's Chinese. Then she said over there has Portuguese food but they don't open til 7 pm. She advised go to the bar they have hamburgers and things. We sat at a low table, asked the roaming drink person if they had a menu. Whoa... lots of choices in Portuguese with English in smaller print below. Good place for people watching to observe the local clientele.

We started at the top floor through a special exhibit which was beautiful, and then worked our way down. You'll pass penguins and waterfalls, you can go over a wooden bridge through a little tropical feeling forest, and onto the playful otters. Then you'll continue around passing the giant central tank. As you descend, you'll get additional looks at the tank and different viewpoints like watching the penguins dive below the water. This is the first aquarium to capture my son's delight, but I also think he's just turned the corner on appreciating animals (or at least sea life). Our toddler daughter also enjoyed it very much! We all did. We don't typically book into zoos or aquariums unless they are top in the world, and this aquarium was very highly rated, so I was very happy we came. It was a perfect attraction for our family, but I also would have been happy I came even if this was a trip without kids. With kids? A slam dunk. You can add a gondola ride onto your aquarium ticket which we did. We booked the roundtrip gondola and our kids enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't say it's a must do, but it's not terribly expensive and if you have kids, they'll like this experience too. If you're up for a packed day, you can do the science museum which is next door as well. I read it's a very interactive hands on museum but we had to get back that day. The aquarium is a half day experience. I think we there for 2.5 hours.

The standout is definitely the massive central aquarium--it's stunning and keeps the kids completely engaged as you move through the levels. It was also great to see that the animals appear to be in excellent condition and the habitats are pristine. If you are in Lisbon with children, this is a must-see. It's a high-quality, manageable outing that the whole family will actually enjoy!
