The kids had a blast! Buying tickets was easy and fast. Although there were lots of summer camp groups, there was no wait to buy tickets ir enter the gates. Amusement park looks like it peaked in the 70s, and has been living off its investments from that. however, the park isn’t great condition, and it is clear that they take great care of it. It was wonderful, because it truly is vintage, and a step back in time. This amusement park is geared towards small children, it is not an area for adults, although there are rights adults may go on. We had our five year-old twins, and they had a blast! From an adult perspective, the park seems to lack any identity, as the “lands” had teams such as pirates, Africa, and Disney? They really didn’t do a good job, unifying their themes. Would the cost of admission being as high as it is, you think they would be investing a little bit more into updating rides or adding more to the park. That’s what I was disappointed with, the cost versus the availability of new rides. You also have to use Google maps to get there, there is absolutely no signage until you’re one traffic circle away. This is a typical field of most Portuguese businesses. I’m not sure if it has to do with laws, but trying to find anything without Google maps is kind of almost impossible here. There is one restaurant that offers cafeteria style food, which actually was decent. All of the other stands offer ice cream and basic cafeteria options. It is very hot here, make sure you have plenty of water. Some of the attractions have no shade for their line, so sunscreen is an absolute necessity. On-site parking is free. We went at the end of July, and the parking lot was never full in the park was half empty. Very few rides had a wait longer than one ride turn. If you have kids, I highly recommend this park. The girls had fun, and I can see this being an annual pilgrimage, next time with some friends!
A beautiful park that combines games, swimming pools, and some cafes. It is very suitable for families and children. You can spend a whole day without getting bored.
Magikland seems to be a go-to spot for families, mainly because there aren't many other amusement parks in Portugal, which might explain its popularity. However, while the park offers some rides and pools (which kids enjoy), many of the attractions feel outdated and not very safe, and the lines for rides can be long, especially on busy days. The entrance prices are high, particularly for a family of five, which makes it less budget-friendly. Many areas also need renovation, which affects the overall experience. Kids tend to enjoy the pools more than the rides, so if your focus is water fun, a local outdoor pool might be a better option. It’s an okay place but has room for improvement.
Amazing place to spend a day with kids - and great for adults as well. Portugal really needs this kind of places with the such good weather we have and being the people that works the most - we really need where to chill and enjoy a kids like day.
After years visiting the park with my kids, this year has been very disappointing. They closed the self-service restaurant (which never was great) and it wasn't notified. Because of that, we had to wait for more than two hours just to eat two half-frozen pizzas and three quite bad hot dog. All the other food wasn't available. Small kids were super hungry and parents quite stressed. They also had mechanical problems in several activities leading to long queues and a bit of mistrust in the safety measures. All of this happened in September, I can't imagine how would be in July/August. In summary, bring your own food and all your patience when visiting this place
Nice for children up to 12 years, do bring your swimming suite... :)
Kids loved it, amazing family place
Was a pleasant experience, but the familiy discount that is presented on the entrance, apparently, requires a father even if you don't have one... It can't just be a single mother.

A very nice place with a great view
A really nice place to have a night walk.

Penafiel is a beautiful place to visit in Porto... Historical place to visit... Very nice and clean museum... Worth visit... It's so packed when I'm visiting here bcoz of WYD23...
Very interesting museum with antique farm implements, neolithic and Roman objects from the Castro Monte Mozinho, items from Penafiel's history and more. In the historic center close to striking churches and other historical buldings.
a really good museum to learn about Penafiel and the area
Very well presented exhibitions. Second language of English on explanations would be more helpful.
We went for the Castro de Mozhino display, but we liked the other exhibits also a lot. The museum is not large but has well displayed items. Well worth the two euros.
(Translated by Google) Impeccable, beautiful and very edifying about Portuguese rural life, in addition to the medieval collection very well preserved and conserved. It is well worth visiting and getting to know the museum! (Original) Impecável, belo e muito edificante sobre a vida rural regional portuguesa, além so acervo medieval muitíssimo bem preservado e conservado. Vale muito a pena visitar e conhecer o museu!

The view is very beautiful, charming and picturesque, the place is quiet, the beautiful church, you can contemplate its details and the details of nature from there
Didn't expect to find this gem on top of the hill overlooking the town. Do drop by if you are around the area, worthy of a visit. Park behind has several fixed tables and benches for picnic and party. Few restaurants around it too.
Nice walking area, lots of school kids.
Nice walking area. The church is very imposing on the hill. Some coffees and restaurants in the area. Many parking lots.
The view is whoa and the area is very nice and there is a lot of nature!
Great views prom the top In front of the church. The inside of the church could do with a lick of paint, but as we all know how poor the church is !!!
Due to a child who wanted an infantile park, the visit was brief
Love the fresh air, even though it is in the middle of the city, you can't smell or hear any car pollution in most the places, it is a decent size garden/park, and it has some benches scattered around, some high quality places to take photos and good backgrounds for them as well.
