It's a small water park, children will love it! The biggest issue is the lack of shadows, the heat in this location can be relentless. Lack of enough parasols to rent and water features turned off doesn't really help it stand out. Food served at the bar was of surprising quality, it took long to make but it was worth the wait. You don't have to wait long or at all to go on rides, that is a big plus if you know what I mean! If you have a family with children (specially 9+) give it a try, I think they will enjoy.

Park is closed in may 7. There's no info on when it'll be opened neither on website or gates. It's been 25+ degrees for a month now. Website portugese only, managed to find "open until 3rd of september", but not since when is it opened. Super angry, came here for no reason.

22/08/2019 the park was closed ! We don’t know why. No information about this closing. Don’t go there, you will waste your time.

This place is amazing to spend time during summer! I fully recommend ❤️

Is a fantastic aquapark. Have got very big pool

No more

The museum has recreations and information about the open-air rock carvings in the local area (which are possible to visit at some times on day trips but not easy to get to) of international importance. Incredible human endeavours from tens of thousands of years ago. Well worth a visit if you are interested in early humans etc. Fascinating place!

We had the pleasure of joining the Penascosa site tour to explore the remarkable Côa Valley rock art on September 17, 2025. Witnessing artwork created by humans 25,000 to 30,000 years ago was truly awe-inspiring—a powerful connection to our shared human history and the creativity of early civilizations. Our exceptional guide, Graziella Casal, brought the engravings vividly to life through her engaging and insightful explanations. Her storytelling made the ancient art feel almost three-dimensional, as if it were in motion. Her passion and deep knowledge were evident throughout the tour. We were especially grateful for her attentiveness and kindness. When my wife began to feel unwell, Graziella immediately arranged for a colleague to assist her, allowing us to continue the tour with peace of mind and appreciation. The combination of expert guidance, genuine hospitality, and thoughtful care made our long journey to the Côa Valley entirely worthwhile. It was a truly memorable and enriching experience in Portugal. Muito obrigado, Graziella Casal!

We had an amazing tour with Bárbara! The drawings/carvings are in remarkably great condition considering they have been exposed to the elements for more than 20,000 years! It would be difficult to see the shapes of the animals without the help of an experienced guide - but with that help it was truly remarkable!! The best part was Bárbara's ability to set the stage by explaining the environment the artists lived in, their nomadic lifestyle, and all the other information and hypotheses that are drawn from the data. Without this context you couldn't truly appreciate what a special place this is.

Thought this interactive museum was brilliant! Does not take too long to walk round it's well laid out exhibition of the rock art you can then see on a guided tour. We went that night and drove in Jeep 7k out to see the engravings with our brilliant guide Luis. Worth every penny of €20 each to see 20,000 year-old engravings. DO IT!

An amazing visit to this beautiful UNESCO site and a walk back into prehistoric time. A must see and also be sure to arrange a private tour of the rock art, best done at night. The 900 plus wooden staircase down the hillside is incredible but the climb back up, equivalent to 48 storeys, is not for the weak of heart!

This UNESCO site in Portugal protects thousands of Paleolithic rock engravings. While older, the region was later inhabited by Celtic peoples, and the museum masterfully contextualizes the long human habitation of this landscape, of which the Celts were a significant part.

Outstanding. It is important to see the actual carvings, the museum gives you context, although it is a wonderful building on an amazing situation with a great restaurant. The tour is fascinating, the guides excellent and for me it was unforgettable. Carvings and 'animation' from up to 20,000 years ago.
