★★★★★a month agoThe central tank was so cool! My 5 and 7 year old sons had a blast! We are from the USA and this is one of the best and most interactive aquariums we have been to. They may not have had as many varieties of animals but the actual tanks and environments were great! Marcia and Catarina tith Educacao Ambiente were so amazing! They were so patient with my sons and all their questions! We all had so much fun!

★★★★★3 weeks agoCould someone confirm if there is a better aquarium in the world? Because I can't remember one. What an incredible experience, what an incredible aquarium, I still can't believe everything I saw, it's an experience worth having for everyone, with your family, friends or even as a couple. I guarantee you won't regret it, I say it's the best aquarium in the world!
