This month, Vasco da Gama Aquarium will be offering tickets to visitors with the word “sea” in their name as part of its 125th anniversary celebrations, the Portuguese Navy announced on Monday.
Vasco da Gama Aquarium, located in Cruz Quebrada Dafundo, in the municipality of Oeiras, was opened on May 20, 1898.
The initiative, according to a statement from the Portuguese Navy, is aimed at “visitors with the word ‘sea’ in their name, such as Marcelo, Maria, Marco, Marina and many other names.”
“During this visit, you will be able to learn about the history of the Aquarium, as well as observe and get more information about the diversity of fauna and flora, which can thus give them the opportunity to get a better understanding of the Aquarium. “, added to the message.
Intending to generate interest in the Aquarium, the Navy reminds that this maritime-related activity “has no vacancy limit.”
It is enough for all visitors to present a document certifying their name in order to gain access to the MAP project.
The Vasco da Gama Aquarium, which was taken over by the Portuguese Navy in 1901, is almost 125 years old and is “one of the oldest public aquariums in the world.”
