    The Vasco da Gama Aquarium, located in Oeiras, Portugal, offers visitors a glimpse into marine life. The aquarium houses a variety of aquatic species, focusing on both local and exotic marine ecosystems. Visitors appreciate the diverse collection of fish and marine creatures, with some tanks featuring interesting species not commonly found in other aquariums.

    Many reviewers note that while the aquarium is relatively small, it provides an educational experience, especially for children. The staff is often described as friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the visit with informative explanations about the marine life on display.

    However, some visitors feel that the facility could benefit from modernization and expansion. The limited size of the aquarium means that a visit can be completed rather quickly, which some find disappointing given the admission price. A few reviewers mention that some exhibits could use updating or better maintenance.

    The aquarium's location by the sea is considered a plus, with visitors enjoying the surrounding area and the opportunity to combine their visit with a seaside walk. However, accessibility might be an issue for some, as public transportation options are limited.

    Overall, the Vasco da Gama Aquarium provides a decent, if somewhat basic, aquarium experience. It's particularly suitable for families with young children or those with a specific interest in marine biology. While it may not compete with larger, more modern aquariums, it offers a pleasant outing for those in the Oeiras area interested in marine life.
