If you plan to visit Porto with the family we recommend that you dedicate one morning to visit the Zoo da Maia. The zoo is located in Maia, about 7 kilometers from downtown Porto.
Zoo da Maia was created in 1985 by the Council of Maia, aiming to create a learning space for children. The park is divided into several areas – the area of mammals, of birds, amphibians and fish. However, the most popular attractions are the Foquinhas da Maia (The Sight of Seals) and the Reptile Gardens.
The zoo also has a picnic area, where you can relax in the shade and rest. Another attraction is the Comboio, a charming little train that will provide you with a pleasant tour around the park. Zoo da Maia is also equipped with a playground called the Quintinha da Criança (Children’s Farm), where children can interact with farm animals.
The Zoo da Maia is a perfect place to spend the morning with your family during your stay in one of our apartments in Porto! We recommend the Casa de Esmeriz apartment, a spacious apartment with a swimming pool and 4 bedrooms!
