Theme Parks Across The Algarve
Below are details on the five main theme parks and tourist places of interest that are open on the Algarve.
There are also a number of festivals taking place throughout the year including large rock concerts, local fairs and fetes.
There are water parks with fantastic flumes and slides dotted throughout the Algarve and in particular near Vilamoura. The best advice we can give is to visit the tourist office at Faro Airport or the resort that you are staying in for local information.
Unfortunately many of the attractions on the Algarve are not open until late and even in the summer they won´t be open much after 7.00pm.
