Faro’s Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve combines hands-on science with aquariums explaining the Ria Formosa. Interactive exhibits cover subjects including weather, geology and food, while the lagoon displays introduce local marine habitats. Family workshops have their own programmes, making this an educational indoor alternative to a beach outing.
