Parque da Mina Entrance Ticket

Posted By : Meander776095
So this place is run down and unloved. Or at least it was when we arrived in early April. Perhaps it’s better in the summer? If it was free I suppose it would have broken the day up with the kids but honestly the old house is a bit creepy, the cafe was open but I didn’t see anyone working in there or any ice creams in the freezer.. The animals certainly look fed up and there were some quite odd manikins around the place that just looked unkempt and fit for the bin. Also there were what looked liked water features with hardly any water in and what was in there looked like you might catch something by just being within eye shot of them. Not really sure what this place is supposed to be and if the reason for its bad presentation was the fact it was off season then I’m not sure why they were open and what they expect people to think paying €30 to walk around a derelict theme park? I honestly think the only thing this place might be useful for would be a film set for a budget horror film. Sorry parque da Mina. I think you need to try harder for peoples money or just keep the doors closed until peak season (if that is what I hope the reason for what I experienced was?)

I was appalled to see birds in cages??? A whole flock of birds flying together as high as they could - feathers sticking in the wire ‘roof’. Why were the peacocks in cages? One of them walking back and forth clearly stressed. Animals being born into captivity? For what? Beautiful budgies, cockatiels etc in a cage with a piece of wood to perch on? Nothing to keep them interested - nothing like an aviary should be. Arrays of smelly horrid cages, with birds, chickens etc caged up for what? Pigs with no clean water. A donkey that was so bored, it was stressed. This is no ‘zoo’ no natural park. We had simply expected to see animals in their natural habitat. Not a cruel home for imprisoned animals. Do not visit

We had passed the signs for Parque da Mina umpteen times driving to and from Monchique and finally decided to drop in. We were not sure what to expect and the place was very quiet. The entrance fee wasn’t unreasonable and we were happy to wander about, following the various signs. Having now been to the park, I am still unsure what it is meant to be. Small daughter enjoyed feeding the piglets and ponies. She enjoyed the birds in the old but spacious enclosures. She absolutely adored hunting for frogs; of which there were many, in the pond. We enjoyed rummaging around the old house and wandering around the gardens, admiring the waterfall and amazing views from the vantage point. There were minimum staff present. A pleasant young lady took our entrance fee, sold us drinks and refreshments, opened up the mirror maze; which is small but fun, for us, gave lots of information and, to some extent showed us around. We managed to kill a few hours here and I must admit I quite enjoyed it. Small daughter was happy enough, especially with the water slide at the exit. It was quite a warm day and she took some getting out of the water. It’s not a huge theme park, nor is it a sophisticated nature reserve. It could definitely do with some investment but that’s probably not going to happen. As I say, not sure what it is. All can say is we quite enjoyed it, but if you want thrills or a fully immersive experience, it’s probably not the place for you.

Le hace falta algo de mantenimiento pero el sitio es muy original, a nosotros nos gustó bastante, desafortunadamente no pudimos terminar el recorrido ya que nos llovió torrencialmente ese día así que esperamos volver el próximo año, mejor preparados para pasar el día completo ahí con nuestra peque.

Espaço de laser fantástico. Contacto com a natureza em plenitude, conhecer a história do local e relaxar… staff 5 ***** Lamento a fraca divulgação e o mais que se poderia fazer pelo espaço. Recomendo

Una bellissima giornata nella natura. Giochi, piscina, animali a cui dare da mangiare (capre, asino, poni, galline...), padiglione delle meraviglie, bellissima casa museo, area picnic... Se si hanno bambini e ci si trova nella zona di Portimao o Monchique è un'esperienza da non perdere.

C'était une pure arnaque Ça ne vaut même pas 1 sur 5 12 euros par adultes 1heure conseillée Nous sommes restés 25 minutes Le temps de traverser le parc sans aucun intérêt La mine est juste une entrée fermée par une grille et la maison un concentré de choses achetées dans une brocante Fuyez il n y a rien à y faire à par voir des animaux souffrir sur des dales de béton

Parque simples, mas interessante para passar uma a duas horas em família e com crianças. O ponto mais interessante - a casa dos espelhos.
