Our granddaughters (one and a half, and five and a half) absolutely loved exploring this park of model Portuguese buildings. As older adults we did too! The small scale models of buildings from across Portugal contain many interactive opportunities for visitors to explore and learn from. The children love going into the small houses and exploring them. The houses, which tend to get smaller towards the end of the site, eventually bring visitors to a playpark, where the only missing thing is a coffee shop for adults while the children play. Many of the buildings unashamedly celebrate the endeavours of Portuguese mariners, explorers and the colonial period, which was refreshing. A great day out for the family.

The park is quite nice to spend time with family and children. You can spend 2 hours there and little if you are reading the information and taking some cultural benefit.. I went with two children of 8 and 10 years old and as they already have more notion of the history of Portugal, it turned out to be more profitable in these ages..for the youngest, I think that I end up having little interest. As an adult, I liked, too, to remember some things from the history of Portugal. Certain areas could have better maintenance and presentation but it is already known that the funds are few to maintain the maintenance of these spaces. Still, I think it's worth it, but taking into account the age of the kids.

Very well developed and preserved place. The children have space to run and miniature houses to develop creativity in play and explore a little of Portugal. The ticket is a bit expensive but it is worth it as there is no specific time to spend there and visiting everything still takes some time.

It is a park with houses that at the entrance represent some countries that had connection to Portugal (era of discoveries). In each of the houses has a bit of the culture and fauna and flora of each country. It was supposed at the entrance to give a passport to the children to stamp them in each home alluding to a country, but they informed that only about 3 machines are working so it was not worth giving the passport. In addition, many mechanisms are faulty or damaged. Then there are miniatures of the traditional houses of each region of Portugal and some monuments, made at scale and with all the details. Some houses and monuments have some wear and need maintenance. It was the case of the lakes that were in repair and painting. It is a very touring visit for both children and graduates. There is an application in which reading the QR code at home little we know what we are seeing.

Portugal dos Pequenitos is a delightful place that perfectly combines fun, education, and cultural appreciation. It’s a must-visit attraction in Coimbra, whether you're with children, friends, or exploring on your own. The miniature replicas of Portugal's iconic landmarks and traditional houses are stunningly detailed and give visitors a unique insight into the country’s architectural heritage. Walking through the small-scale villages and monuments is both enchanting and informative. For families, it’s a paradise – kids can freely explore and engage, while adults can appreciate the craftsmanship and historical context. The exhibits dedicated to the former Portuguese colonies add a fascinating layer, showcasing the cultural connections and influences. The park is well-maintained, with clean facilities and friendly staff who are always ready to assist. There’s plenty of shade and seating, making it comfortable even on a sunny day. It’s an ideal outing for a few hours, with so much to see and learn. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Coimbra – this charming park is a true gem! Only con is the price...

Perfect for going with kids. Entertaining and educational. My 8-year-old had a great time walking into every little house. One catch: they have an app where you pass a QR in each house, but many of them are deleted. Impressive medieval area, fascinated me.

Next to the Mondego but across town, is this curious little theme park. We have two distinct parts, one of houses and monuments Portuguese style to size children and another of pavilions of the former Portuguese colonies where children can stamp the passports they give to the entrance and where you see some history and traditions of those sites. There are shops, to eat something and parks for children to entertain. It is a cultural and entertaining place for the little ones. I found the price quite acceptable.
