Great place to visit with the family.

Me, my wife and my two girls spend a full day in badoca park, and we loved it.

Its cheaper to buy the tickets online, but beware of the weather, since you have to do a lot of walking, try to go when the weather is suitable (not to hot or rainy), so, we waited for a day without any rain and bought the tickets one hour before we got to the ticket line (although you buy the tickets online, you still have to go to the ticket office and exchange for a real ticket)

There are a few extra paid activities that you can buy directly on the ticket stand, but we choose to buy only the entry tickets, no extra activity (we eventually bought tickets for the rafting, directly in the rafting area, after checking that it was safe for our daughters).

When you enter you are informed of your train departure, that train will do a mini safari, be sure not to miss it, its one of the best features in the park. We loved the unvolunteer interaction with the ostriches 😂. The giraffes (mascot of the park) are beautiful and worth the trip.

We also loved the birds presentation, there are 3 during the day, don't miss any of them (check the schedule before going to the park).

At lunch time, the restaurant was completely full, so we had lunch on the small snack bar, nothing too expensive, but tasty (hamburger and chips).

The only less positive thing about the park was the simian section, its far from the rest and the road to get there its a bit rough for little children.

So, we had a great day at badoca park, we only got a ticket lady that was a bit rude (we found her again at the souvenir store), all the other staff was very nice and helpful.

Don't forget hats for the children 😊

And another detail, we are Portuguese and the guides only spoke Portuguese, I don't know if they have guides that speak other languages.
