We were looking for something to do before catching our flight home from Faro and found the museums website. We only had a short time available and wish we had more as we could have easily spent more time there.
It was only 8 euros as the children were free and there was no one else other than staff in the museum was great as it meant we had our own tour guide as well!
Plenty to do for both my 3 year old son and my 37 year old husband whilst the information provided was aimed well for all ages and interests - the bubble screen, water vortex maker and interactive geology sand tray were big hits with them both.
Due to how much time we had we were only able to explore the indoor exhibition although there was an outdoor area with play activities which we could've explored if we had more time.
Next time we are in Faro we will definitely be revisiting the museum!


Brought my 5 year old and 7 year old. They both loved it. Only cost €8 for all 4 of us. Loafs to do and see. The guide was brilliant and taught is loads. Well worth checking out

This is a lovely science, hands-on place. This is interesting for both children and adults. It is a very good place to spend a couple of hours hiding from the early afternoon sun. The displays are very interesting (our 9-year-old child loved the "hands on" aquarium), but the real highlight is the staff - they are extremely helpful and friendly. They really know what they are talking about, and are very happy to share their knowledge and explain things. We would definitely recommend this place and return if back in Faro.

A good place to spend a couple of hours, some very interesting exhibits that you can play with, so great for the kids but also interesting for the adults. Some of the exhibits were not working, but that's to be expected when kids play with them and much better than protecting them out of reach, as it really engages the kids when they can play. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff guided us through the science centre, making it interesting and educational. An interesting range of different science topics, from the aquarium and touch pool to the earth and earthquakes, gravity and volcanoes. I also liked the different plant growing methods demonstrated.



A tiny and shabby science centre not worth the visit. The exhibits look like 40 years old and some of them are even broken. Only positive point is the friendly staff.

This small centre was full of schoolchildren when we visited and it is an excellent way of teaching science. Many examples of well explained and active models of natural phenomena, earthquakes, tides, astronomy-all of them and many more in this well themed attraction.
