A good day out on a weekend to visit a great zoo near Oporto, Portugal.
Zoo da Maia is home tigers, brown bears, zebras, capybaras and wallabies and a themed area “Noah’s Ark” dedicated to cold-blooded animals (poisonous snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, nocturnal animals, piranhas, among others). You’ll also spot all manner of turtles, tortoises, iguanas, geckos and snakes.
Also worth mention is a sea-lion show (“Show of Foquinhas”) that rejoices small and adults three times a day.
There’s also a bird of prey demonstration with barn owls and Eurasian eagle-owls.
Small but nice zoo. Nice price 7,5€ Adults. Plan for 2-3 hours visit. Good for an early morning visit and to use the rest of the day for the nearby Zoo de Santo Inácio, in my view the best in Portugal.

Magikland is a small children’s theme park in Penafiel in northern Portugal. The project is in its early years (opened in 2012 since it moved from Braga due to the bankruptcy of the previous owners) and it shows. The parking lot is non-existent and the cars are piled up in a quarry in the nearest roundabout. Awful!.
Inside a small roller coaster, a water splash ride and some fun fair toys like a giant wheel and carousels. All centred on little children but without a coherent or inspiring theme. There is even a themed land properly called “World of Confusion” where you will find a small Eiffel Tower and flying elephants. There are some nice sculptures and scenarios like the St. George Dragon at the entrance or Pirate Galleon but nothing that justifies 17,50€ entrance.
Spaced in the park grounds are some nice sculptures and scenarios like the St. George Dragon at the entrance or Pirate Galleon but nothing that justifies 17,50€ adult entrance or 12€ children.
Lot’s of work to do here. We’ll probably come back in a year or two to report the progress (or not).

We’ve been keeping an eye on Amarante Water Park (Portuguese: Parque Aquático de Amarante) for the last few years. Located in the Tâmega riverbed it is referenced in all media as the largest mountain water park in the Iberian Peninsula. But none of our team members yet come here. So again it’s up to me to give our first impressions.
First, despite all the signs, it’s almost impossible to get to the park without GPS. It’s a bit far from the freeway and you have to cross small and dangerous mountain roads. Second, the parking lot is a bit far from the pool area so hill climbing skills are needed. Finally, the park is located in a steep mountain so it seems small from a distance.
But when you arrive, rent an umbrella and head to the slides these first cautious impressions vanish right away: the park is wonderful, the rides are fun and prices are right.
The complex isn’t big but enough for six multiple lanes, four fast lanes, a snail, two toboggans, a wave pool and two children’s pools. In 2017 the park has just opened its new ‘Fast Mountain’ attraction, a 180 meter long slide, one of the largest in Europe. So there are lots of things to keep you busy.
To rejuvenate your mood with a refreshing drink or a light meal, the Amarante Aquatic Park, integrated into the Tâmega Club resort, has bars and a snack bar with terrace. This year the park will be in operation until September 20th.

A quick stop to Madeira Botanical Garden (Portuguese: Jardim Botânico da Madeira) on a business trip to Funchal, Madeira. A bit disappointed since the park is not 100% open to the public due to 2016’s wildfires in the Portuguese archipelago.
Opened to the public in 1960 the park was previously part of an estate belonging to the family of William Reid, founder of Reid’s Hotel. Now Madeira Botanical garden hosts 2,500 plants, originating from all the continents that coexist in harmony with about 300 exotic birds. There’s also a good cable car which unfortunately i couldn’t have the time to visit.
