With those who have children (and not only) in mind, we decided to gather some ideas so that the whole family can make the most of it. So, take a look at our list to find out what to do with children in Porto and its surroundings.
From aquariums to zoos, not to mention indoor activities and immersive experiences, or even three-dimensional museums and virtual reality spaces…There are many activities to choose from. So, just take your pick and make February an unforgettable month.
SEA LIFE Porto
From €18.50
Close to Parque da Cidade, SEA LIFE Porto is an excellent option for taking the kids, whether you live in Invicta or are just passing through. After all, this is the second largest aquarium in Portugal.
With over three thousand creatures living there, the space has several habitats and attractions, notably the underwater tunnel —the first in the country, with 500,000 liters of water— the penguins, and much more.
Porto Planetarium
From €4.20
The Porto Planetarium is one of those places that promises to leave kids literally starstruck.
If you plan your visit in advance, there are several activities and special programs waiting for the whole family.
A different and, at the same time, educationalprogram!
From €19
Porto offers a wide range of options for those looking for fun and cultural activities with children. But if you’re looking for something different, Candlelight Porto concerts are an excellent choice for a family outing.
These candlelit concerts show that music can also be enjoyed by the little ones.
In iconic locations in Invicta, such as the Palácio da Bolsa and the Hilton Porto Gaia, there is certainly a Candlelight concert that is ideal for the whole family.
World of Discoveries Interactive Museum
From €18
This is an activity that can be interesting for the whole family. At World of Discoveries, you can discover the world through the eyes of Portugal’s greatest explorers.
A different experience in a themed museum with 20 interactive and multisensory installations.
After Funchal, Lisbon, and Portimão, the 3D Fun Art Museum has finally opened its doors in the city of Porto. Since December, you can visit this new three-dimensional museum.
There, you won’t find famous works of art, but you will find lots of fun. With several rooms and more than 40 different scenarios, at the 3D Fun Art Museum nothing is what it seems: you can climb a wall or become a superhero!
From €14
Known as a trampoline paradise, JumpYard has been operating in the Matosinhos area since the beginning of autumn. With around 3500 m2, this is a space that promises to please not only kids but also adults.
There are dozens of trampolines, an artificial turf field for soccer games, and a KidZone with a covered area of 2000 m2. The latter space, in particular, is intended for children up to 8 years old and includes slides, a ball pool, tunnels, and other fun activities.
Bowling is one of the most fun activities you can do, whether with friends or family. So, if you’re looking for something (very) exciting to do with the kids, then take them to Sould Park Bowling.
Located in Arrábida Shopping in Gaia, the space stands out for its neon-filled decor, offering various entertainment options, such as an arcade area, stuffed animals, virtual reality simulators, and more.
