Around PortimãoAldeia Nova da Boavista, Portimão
Quinta Pedagógica de Portimão introduces children to farm animals, vegetable plots and rural work within the city. The municipal educational farm offers a gentler alternative to a commercial theme park. Its programmed activities can include practical farm tasks, so arrange a specific workshop rather than assuming one happens throughout every visit.

SandCity is an outdoor sand-sculpture exhibition in Lagoa, the current home of the project previously known as FIESA. It suits families interested in large-scale art, recognisable figures and a gentler outing between beach or park days. Use the Lagoa location rather than an old FIESA address in Pêra.
