To our surprise there was an aquarium in Porto! Located next to the water and across from a beach we Uber'd it over from our hotel. We bought our tickets upon arrival and found plenty of English friendly speakers here. The aquarium hosts local fish found in the waters around Porto and some interactive displays (hurricane wind simulator, touch reef, and stingrays) a giant tank with a sea turtle and some sharks is a cool way to relax and a giant gift shop and snack bar help wrapped up our visit. We love aquariums so this was just another place to see under the sea. read more

Went there yesterday! The staff was welcoming and spoke English well. Once you headed inside there were many tanks full of local and exotic fishes. They had information next to the tanks written in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and German. They had interactive areas where you could touch a sea urchin. The staff throughout the experience were nice and always tried to give their best answer to my questions. It's a small, but fun and interesting place to visit. I went by myself and spent around 30min there. It's definitely worth the stop if you're near by and and love aquariums. read more

See all

This aquarium has a lot of nice water animals inside. It has wonderful sting rays, sharks and turtles. Witnessed really cool movement by a turtle moving from one stationary place in the space to another. It has a space upstairs to sit and eat. It has an under water area and it's not that busy so you can pretty much stay as long underneath as you like, at least when we went. There is also some outdoor area for picnics, and for for schools but I really hoped they would do more the related to the water and aquarium. It's also rather small as you can go through it quite fast. Buy tickets online, slightly cheaper. But you must print it off, but if you do not they charge 0.5euro, which is still worth it. read more
