In the middle of Olivais, almost hidden between the buildings, a place to learn lives: the Quinta Pedagógica dos Olivais, where everybody can see and learn how farm animals live. There's chickens, roosters, cows, a beautiful white horse, donkey, turkeys, peacocks and other animals that you don't see in a city. It's a great learning experience: you can see how vegetables grow, identify fruit trees and enjoy a great time in a place designed to show how a farm with animals can be. Parking is easy and the place is entrance free; there's a kiosk to buy ice-cream or other beverages (great for those warm days) and there's space enough to make a nice picnic, in the company of the animals. Place is very clean and there's bathroom as well.
A great place...

I was with a dog and a child I'm a citizen deserving respect and ...not contagious to be asked out...
