Oceanario

Oceanario:  Lisbon's local aquarium.  Only the largest aquarium in Europe.  Only the second best aqauarium in the world.  No big deal.

A few weekends ago, Eric and I decided to go there on a date.  In the three years we've been together, we've never been to a zoo or aquarium (or anything of the sort), so it was exciting to find something new to do together.  

The aquarium is located right on the Tejo River in Parque das Nacoes, an upscale and modern part of Lisbon.  

This was part of the World Expo '98.

  


The aquarium has one LARGE, cylinder tank that houses many of the animals, including sharks and rays.  Other exhibits circle the large tank.

It was a little pricey (28 euros --> 35 USD for both of us), but it was well worth it.
