A holiday essential!  Zoomarine, the Algarve’s biggest attraction, is a marine theme park where you can learn about the ocean world, see the amazing dolphins and seals in action, as well as enjoy time on the slides and rides and Zoomarine’s urban beach. Visit the aquarium, feed the rays and watch out for the pirates….

Mini Golf
So you’ve heard the Algarve has superb golf courses? That’s true of the mini golf courses too. Golfland in Alvor is a Family Entertainment Park that is great for kids but also fabulous for golfers - there are two Trackman Golf Simulators so you can paly themost famous courses from around the world! 
There are two Roman themed courses in Vilamoura at the Family Golf Park and Dinosaur inspired fun at Adventure Golf Alvor. While the kids will love the courses, they are perfect for adults too, as the golf is more challenging than you might think. And for something different, why not try Algarve Footgolf? This is exactly what is says – a game of golf played with your feet and a football on a mini course. Great fun for groups.

Boat Trips
There are boat trips to suit all tastes on offer. Relaxing trips aboard a graceful sailing boat such as the Condor, or speedy trips in a RIB that heads out to sea to search for dolphins in the wild. Board a pirate boat like the Leãozinho with Dream Wave Algarve for a sea-adventure and visit the amazing caves along the coast or take a family fun trip with Alvor Boat Trips.

Fun on Wheels
Kids love to move! Junior, teen and adult drivers can test their skills at karting tracks. Enjoy speedy fun at the Electric Karting track at Albufeira marina. Bonus fun – Hot Shots Bowling is next door. Ten pin bowling for some fun with friends and family.

Beach Days
Always a crowd-pleaser, kids of any age love time on the beach. Go in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid peak sunshine hours. There are family friendly beaches with rock pools to explore, beaches with waves to ride, particularly on the Costa Vicentina (west coast), though do pay attention to the lifeguards and beach flags. Towards the East, the Ria Formosa is where the waters are calmer and warmer. Be sure to bring a sun umbrella for naps in the shade. If ice-cream is required (and maybe a cold beer for Mum and Dad) most beaches have great beach bars and restaurants where you can recharge.
