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.
