We visited Pavilhão da Água in Porto – an interesting and educational place dedicated to water and its importance for life. The exhibition is compact but very engaging: you can touch the exhibits, conduct small science experiments, and learn about water in an interactive way. This makes it especially fun for children, as learning here feels like play. It’s best suited for kids up to around 11 years old.

Another great advantage is that the pavilion is located in the huge Parque da Cidade, where you can easily spend the whole day. After visiting the museum, you can take a walk, have a picnic, or simply enjoy nature.

However, the pavilion itself is quite small, and considering the ticket price, it can feel a bit expensive for the time spent inside.

Overall, it’s a nice place for a family outing, but mainly for...

Durante il vostro soggiorno in città, prendetevi del tempo per esplorare il Padiglione dell'Acqua, recentemente ristrutturato, nel Parco della Città di Porto. Con un ruolo più interattivo con la comunità, questo è lo spazio privilegiato a Porto per approfondire la conoscenza del rapporto con l'acqua. Il Padiglione dell'Acqua nel Parco della Città di Porto è stato recentemente ampliato e ristrutturato; per questo motivo, nuovi moduli esperienziali sono stati integrati nella mostra permanente, consentendo a bambini e adulti di apprendere di più sulla gestione delle risorse idriche in modo ludico. Il Padiglione dell'Acqua è un progetto su piccola scala, simile a quello progettato da Alexandre Burmester per l'Expo 98 di Lisbona. Lo stesso architetto è stato responsabile dei lavori di ristrutturazione, per un investimento complessivo di 745.000 euro. Il progetto del Padiglione dell'Acqua mira a sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sui temi del cambiamento climatico, della scarsità d'acqua e dell'inquinamento degli oceani, attraverso l'impiego di nuove tecnologie "che vent'anni fa non esistevano", come ha affermato il sindaco di Porto Rui Moreira in occasione dell'inaugurazione del Padiglione dell'Acqua ristrutturato, il 23 marzo 2019. Il viaggio attraverso il Padiglione dell'Acqua inizia al piano terra, rivelando l'importanza degli impianti di trattamento delle acque reflue, il ruolo dell'azienda municipalizzata "Águas do Porto" o il funzionamento delle dighe in caso di tsunami. Si salgono le scale ed si entra in una stanza dove un gigantesco globo mostra come è distribuita l'acqua sul pianeta Terra. La sala principale simula il ciclo dell'acqua, esponendo pozzi convenzionali e artesiani, nonché sistemi di chiuse. Una delle attrazioni principali è anche il laboratorio, dove un monitor invita il pubblico a sperimentare e ad approfondire le esperienze progettuali. Un'esperienza molto interessante è anche una scatola di sabbia, dove i visitatori possono costruire le proprie pianure, valli e montagne e, infine, un effetto speciale che imita la pioggia. Non dimenticate di visitare la Sala Immersiva, dove potrete guardare un film ambientato tra la montagna e il mare, che vi ricorderà l'impatto del cambiamento climatico e le sue conseguenze dirette sulla...

Unfortunately the new exhibition is quite disappointing. The huge basin in the upper floor with amazing water games was removed (instead there are rather basic info boards about the meaning of water) the entry is expensive anyway and most of the fountains outside, the cascade and most jets were out of work. That's so sad as the pavilion used to be a unique place and has lots of...

We loved this little Museum. I`m sure it is aimed more at children than at senior adults like ourselves, but it looked great from outside and we decided to go in and investigate. Lots of interactive things to do and interesting facts to be learned. We spent a while in there and read everything .. Well worth a visit!
