19€ per adult... Not worth it. Its so small, some of the exhibits dont even have anything in it. Ridiculous

DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING WITH BARBIE. STAFF MEMBER SAID "IT WAS REMOVED YEARS AGO"Lots of houses closed/inaccessible for maintenance. Many places for water were empty.Other than that, entertaining for young kids.

It was a nice experience for my kids (11 and 7 years). They were able to explore the different houses and displays. However, the experience was very one dimensional and quickly became very repetative. If youve seen it once, theres really no need to go back. Also, I dont understand why they cannot post proper signage for each zone/display. Having to use a poorly organized map was needlessly frustrating.I recommend visiting in the morning hours as it gets very hot and crowded closer to the afternoon. Bathrooms are adequate, there are vending machines with drinks and I believe snacks available and at least two locations sold ice cream.

Its outside so the heat is always blazing down on you. Nice little houses to see and portuguese culture on display. Its generally OK but a few of the houses were under renovation and blocked off. But 14€ per person? Thats too expensive for what it offers IMO.

Good fun for kids but a bit overcrowded and huge line to buy the tickets. Also pre-order the tickets has a surcharge because of a third party operator.

Almost no history shared in the pavilions, the houses are nice and with attention to details, my kids liked to play in the little houses. The price is high for what you get

Very overpriced! Maybe 50 tiny houses & castles in different levels of maintenance (several are closedall just empty shells inside. Charging over 30 euro for a small family of 4 is very expensive. Remember going there as a child for 1 euro.Would not go again. 2-3 euro max per person is the limit to justify what you see.

A good day trip for families with kids 3-8 years. The entry fee is a bit high, but it was fun moving in and out of the small houses and seeing the details and exhibitions, even for the adults. All houses made to scale and well maintained.

Yeah, its more on the side of expensive. Yet, it was a very pleasant surprise. The overall concept is great. Both my girls, one already a teen, had a blast, the 10 yo did so much more. I found myself taking many pictures, the detail in the work shows a great deal of passion. Whoever did this must be proud.

Its a beautiful place to view the architecture of historic buildings in Portugal in a miniature style. This lovely concept allows adults and children to know how the significant landmark buildings in Portugal look and some information about them.The site is picturesque, with enough space for moving around and enjoying the site. Adults and children can enter the buildings and read more information about the building and its associating attributes.If you want to ease yourself when pressed, theres a public toilet. Additionally, when you feel hungry or need something to drink, theres a vending machine where you can purchase drinks and snacks.Overall, its an excellent place to hang out as a family.

Not sure what to think about this attraction.In the exhibition half of the pieces were missing.Very limited explanation, long text, not digested for kids.The second part is a better as the houses are cute and playful but not sure I would recommend you to spend your money here.

Its the same in the last 25 years, it should have more information about the houses, like little stories about where they are from and other facts. Its an expensive park and my kids run through it in 30 minutes...

A lot of the attraction houses where under maintenance and as for as I could tell that is something you only find out after being inside. But the ones that were available for visit were really great 😊

It is better for young kids (2-9 years old). Tickets are quite expensive but you can spend a couple of hours there. Bring your own food as there is no restaurant, bar, just a drinks small place. There is a play area but quite full. There was also a queue for getting the tickets but didnt take longThe train was not running.

Lovely constructions and attention to detail. The price was a little steep for what you get. And as adults you want for information that they wont present you, at least not for free. Good for young kids though.

Iv been here 3 times over the past 5 years , took my first then my second Kid , the kids enjoy it , its very well built , it lacks information on the main topical houses , for the fee we pay there should be more . Nonetheless my 3 year old had fun climbing in and out of the miniature houses . The app to identify the houses is not FREE 🤌🏻 not cool!! Maybe get more staff involved and dressed to ocasion on each house , put some explanatory tags on the houses … make it a more enjoyable and fun experience for the guests 👍🏻

It has all the looks and feels of a tourist trap, and unfortunately is mostly going towards that. However the actual models, the build and the displays are magnificent. There are nuggets of history everywhere and enough things to turn it into a greatexperience despite.

This is a mid priced attraction at 10 euros per adult. It shows buildings with different styles from Portugal homeland and colonies. It is a fun place, good way to learn about portugal, but more info would be nice at each building. Works nicely for kids.

Portugal dos Pequenitos is Portugals first ever attempt at a theme park. It features small kid-scale replicas of typical houses and famous Portuguese monuments.It was built during the fascist regime, and it still shows, if you can read between the lines and grasp the "patriotic" and stereotyped message; but the effort to keep the original trace and style is remarkable, and should be commended. Portugal dos Pequenitos is not only a theme park about Portugal, monuments and houses, but also about the Salazar regimes view on our own country, "colonies", and people.A classic, and still fun. Kids actually love it, even if they miss most of the historic references.

Very outdated and overpriced park. A few simple houses with nothing or little interesting to see. If kids are older than 5 don’t bother to visit.

A great place to visit with kids. Miniature houses and Portuguese iconic buildings and a sampling of various cultures Portugal has influenced or was influenced by. Two hours should be enough.

This is a place where you can discover Portuguese history. It takes you on a journey to all the places Portugal colonised during the time when Portuguese exploitation was at its peak. Discovery was the main goal finding new worlds and setting up trade routes. Go on a journey from Azores to Angola. From Mozambique to Macau and India. Also get to see some of the architecture from the place, with perfectly build replicas build here in miniature. Its great for whole family. The children love it because all the small buildings they can run in and out of play on and explore. There is a small train that takes you around for a short trip. Also there is an area with many small houses,churches and castles for the kids to play on and in. There is also a play area with swings and slides and a grass place to play on.

I had last been here when I was very young and had those young memories and expectations when I went there again. At the beginning of the park you find an ode to the old Portuguese territories that they founded during their navigational journeys including Macau, Timor, Guinea Bissau and so forth. The second part is of some famous Portuguese monuments. Finally the third part is of the various architectural housing designs old and new throughout Portugal. I feel that the first part could do with an upgrade and a little more information on the various territories, making it less superficial and more educational. There was also an exhibition of Lego toys and sets old and new Im unsure if this is a permanent or temporary exhibition. The park as a whole is good as its done really well. Kids will love it because they can run in and out of all the tiny little houses. That said there are A LOT of kids running around.

Quite interesting, but not really worth the ticket price. Worth to visit if you are coming with Kids. If not then better to look for some different attractions (max 3 stars od without kids). The place has an interesting concept but gets old and it would be much better with more Interactive features and some information on buildings (in English as well).

A great place for all, although aimed at children. It is unlike any model village, as the structures are large enough for adults to walk inside and explore. A cafe & WCs. Plus there is a little train for children to ride- additional cost.

An awesome place to visit with children of all ages. We went with a group of adults (9.95€ eachwith 1 toddler. There are many people there with little kids so be sure to keep an eye on yours because in a split second they can easily disappear among the small houses and castles. It was a really cute place, many miniature houses and churches where children can go in and bigger versions (but still minifor adults and children to see a little bit of Portugals history. All in all it was a wonderful experience and as a foreigner I had a lot of fun! Would recommend to visit at least once!

A fun couple of hours for younger children and reasonably inexpensive for what is offered. A family ticket of 2 adults and 2 children will cost €22.Whilst young children will find the many minuture houses entertaining to run around, older children and teenagers will likely find the park quite boring. The educational element of the park is surprisingly quite limited and youll be pushed to squeeze 3 hours of enjoyment out of the this small theme park.
