It was a great aquarium and the tunnel at the end that you could walk through was amazing. You could see all the sea life swim around you!! There’s two gift shops inside, one small one about half way through and a big one at the end. There’s also lots of fun things to do there because the aquarium is on the 3rd floor of building while there’s other activities on other floors!

Expensive for the amount of species, size and space, the tunnel aquarium is big and nice to see the bigger fishes from below. Whole visit took one hour.

I went here midweek and it was a nice little vist that wasn't too busy. Inside you have quite a good variety of enclosures that is home to the variety of aquatic life. Each enclosure has a nice informative plaques in both Portuguese and English. I loved the one with the comparison of jelly fish and plastic bags and the explaination of how tutrles get confused as jellyfish are part of their diets, very informative 👍 The main enclosure is right at the end and is a walk through tunnel which is alwa

The big tank and the tunel is nice, but quite small area to visit, if you compare to aquariums in Europe, not so many tanks to see.

Went to this aquarium, which is the biggest in Rio de Janeiro. I have to say that, considering this is the Marvelous City's main aquarium, I was pretty disappointed. I'm comparing this really to an aquarium in Riverhead, Long Island, which is in New York, in the middle of nowhere. You would think this aquarium would be much better but, besides the normal stuff and the huge tank with the tunnel you can walk through, that was all they really had.
The main thing I really didn't like when you first
