I had the worst experience at this aquarium! There were way too many people, and it was impossible to take photos or enjoy the exhibits properly. We waited for 30 minutes just to enter the 360-degree tunnel, and in the end, we couldn't even get a single decent photo. This is undoubtedly the worst aquarium in the world. It was a complete waste of time and money. The overcrowding ruined any chance of a peaceful visit, and I'm deeply disappointed with the overall experience. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. They need to manage their crowd and improve the visitor experience ASAP. Not only was the experience terrible, but the price was outrageously high too! We had to shell out 300 Brazilian reais (equivalent to 60 euros), which is exorbitant for what we got. I expected so much more for that kind of money. This aquarium is an absolute rip-off, and I feel like I've been scammed. It's unbelievable how they can charge so much for such a disappointing visit. Save your money and find a better attraction to spend your hard-earned cash on. This place is a complete letdown in every way possible.

Ok, where to start, let's say that the experience could be good if not only for few setbacks . First and most important, tickets are 150 BRL (25 USD) for tourists (children pay full fee) so you expect the service to be par..... it's not, why?, you would ask, just one example, there are two jellyfish tanks... one has jellyfish the other is full of nylon bags tied to resemble a cartoonist jellyfish....sad. Second, all staff is rude, and beyond that there are some that take your picture and then want to charge 20 dollars a pop ( for the price of the ticket i would expect at least a digital copy), and they would take photos of underage children without permission ( yeah, beyond rude) To sum up, i would recommend if price was 1/4th but for the prie i would recommend a tour in Angra do reí or Arraial do cabo. Same price, four times the fun.

They have a decent aquarium. It’s a little expensive for tickets, but we loved the sharks and piranha’s. It’s annoying how they act like it’s required that you have to take the pictures when you don’t want to at the beginning before entering the aquarium. Buy tickets in advance online so you don’t have to wait in line to buy them. I took away one star because the photo sales girls are some of the most OBNOXIOUS and predatory people. They laugh and go “oh my gosh how beautiful” when looking at your photos in such an obviously fake voice that it’s almost insulting. They explained that it’s a high price for the photos and then my wife asked how much for just 1 or two photos and they TRIPLED the price. We didn’t buy just because it was an obvious scam.

This is a pretty SMALL aquarium! We went through it in 1 hour, checking all live exhibits (there are other informative exhibits, without fish, that we didn't check out). What other reviews claim about its large size ("biggest in South America" etc.) is either false or irrelevant - I've seen much large aquariums in Monterrey, San Francisco, Sydney etc. You don't need more than 2 hours in any case, even if you spend time at the surf museum within, and the gift shop. It's also expensive - USD 30. By comparison, the Museum of Tomorrow 1km away is only USD 5. That said, there's a nice walk-through glass tunnel through a large aquarium with sharks and other big fish, and one cool exhibit with eels. Some other colorful fish too.

This place is a must go if you're visiting Rio. The aquarium is not super big but they have a very nice variety of things to see and they have nice learning areas (ideal to to bring children). The place itself is kept very clean and with good quality. They also have restrooms and chilling areas inside so you can really take your time time during the visit and have a snack. You can walk around and see everything in about an hour. Besides, they also have a very nice souvenir shop at the end where you can buy t-shirts and other gifts. They also have other touristic attractions in the same building such as mirror rooms and a wax museum if you buy additional tickets)
