Worth a visit!

“We moved to Portugal from the US two years ago and I'’ve been reading about Portugal'’s history. The experience helped to reinforce what I had read and brought the main players and events to life. The interactive exhibits were very informative, as were the depictions of life on a boat. The water attraction was fun! I recommend it for a different activity from churches and museums!"
