We visited the Botanic garden on a rainy morning, and we found this a restful spot a nice hide away. If you are staying in the Bairro Alto or surroundings its worth to stroll down the hill to the gardens. It's totally surrounded by buildings and have a pleasant 19th century atmosphere. 2E entry fee.

Only went in the Natural History Museum. Cost 5 euro for me and 3 euro for my son as a student. This is housed in an old university. Interesting walk through especially for the price. Downstairs had a math and modeling section. The upstairs has a hands on physics room with lots to do, good for older kids and teens.... More

We went with high hopes of a great day out but were disappointed. It has been a long time since there was any care or money invested here. Staff disinterested when present. Such a shame with so much potential. Probably once remarkable, now just disappointing and unloved.

In a Historical Lisbon Building the Nobles College House Government decided to have the Natural Science Museum and the Botanical Garden. In a great location very well housed I believe they should be working to provide some degree of excitement for those that take the time and money for a visit. In my view a very outdated collection.

Brown plants. Dead plants. Rotten plants. The butterfly exhibit didn't have any butterflies. This is sort of a disgraceful, embarrassing botanical garden. We enjoyed seeing the peacocks congregating around the abandoned building on the grounds that seemed like it used to be a museum. Otherwise, we did not find this to be an extraordinary experience.

The Botanical Garden and Museum were close enough to my relatives' apartment in Lisbon that we were able to walk. The garden has seen better days, and there were only three or four active butterflies in the butterfly exhibit, but it was a very pleasant walk nonetheless. Afterwards we visited to Museum of Natural History and Science, which is right... More

I enjoyed the stroll in the botanical gardens! They're big enough to feel that you're walking around a significant park, and it's very calm and pleasant. A good place to go if you're feeling a bit travelled-out or hungover, or want to talk to a friend rather than 'experience' nonstop. And of course, being a botanical garden, it's good for... More

In very poor condition, needs lots of attention. In spite of the minimal entry fee not worth the effort for what you will see and learn.

Sad that this garden has fallen from grace, but worth a lot more than the paltry 1.50 they charge to get in. No wonder they can't afford upkeep! But god for an hour's tranquil stroll among streams and trees, and an enclosed butterfly garden where you can see butterflies mating, crysalids growing, and good explanations - all up close enough...
