Portimao in Summer

Going to Portugal (Portimao) in the summertime and just wondered if anyone could recommend things to see and do with two young ones. I know of the Aqualand place and Zoomarine. Anything else that people can recommend. Much appreciate the info. Cheers. :-)

    Give us a chance!

    Go up to the Mountains and admire the view across the Algarve. Take some bottles up and collect some fresh spring water.

    Go to slide and splash, its better than Aqualand.

    Take a trip to the end of europe, Infante da Sagres.

    Slide and Splash is in Estombar, just off the EN125 on the outskirts of Lagoa. Its closer to Portimao than Aqualand.

    Word of warning about Zoomarine and Slide and Splash, in fact all type of parks, they will be very busy during July and especially August.
