The city of Lisbon is not a center of entertainment, leisure and culture just for grown-ups. These museums are children’s favorites!
Children of all ages have a wide range of places of knowledge at their disposal, such as these five museums for the curious minds of the little ones. Let’s get to know them in this short guide.
Table Of Contents
National Coach Museum
There isn’t a kid who isn’t fascinated by cars, or a girl who isn’t amused by the fantastic world of carriages reminiscent of Cinderella.
And that’s why National Coach Museum is our first suggestion, because whether you’re a boy or a girl, everyone will enjoy learning a little more about our history and this means of transport.
Address: Avenida da Índia 136 (Belém)
Knowledge Pavilion
In Knowledge Pavilion you’ll be able to spend a whole day with the little ones, exploring, learning and finding out more about why things happen.
And the best thing is that everyone is invited to get their hands dirty, i.e. to take an active part in the various experiences you can find here.
Address: Largo José Mariano Gago 1 (Parque das Nações)
Puppet Museum
Get ready to enter a a world full of puppets and marionettes, in a museum that will delight not only the little ones, but also the grown-ups who appreciate this type of more folkloric and traditional handicraft.
Here you’ll find collections of masks and puppets from all over the world, from Asia to Mexico, Brazil and Europe.
At the Museu da Marioneta you’ll also find a busy schedule of things to do with the family.
Address: Rua da Esperança 146 (Santos)
Museum of Natural History and Science
For all children who love science, this is the ideal museum, perfect for exploring the evolution of species while learning more about animals and plants.
And if your little ones like dinosaurs, then this museum is the right place for them, because this is where you’ll find lots of information about these prehistoric giants.
Once here, also takes the opportunity to visit the botanical gardens, Lisbon and Tropical. I’m sure the kids will love it.
Address: Rua da Escola Politécnica 5 (Graça)
Money Museum
It sounds inappropriate, but we guarantee that you and your family will get out of the Money Museum much more knowledgeable about the importance of currency in society, while having fun minting your own face on one of the sides of the coin. It’s the promise of half a day well spent.
Address: Largo de São Julião (Downtown)
