Continuing my exploration of the island, I’m discovering even more fun activities tailored for children. From natural parks to exciting attractions, I’ll guide you through family-friendly spots across this amazing island. Join me as I uncover new adventures waiting for you and your little ones in Madeira.
Table of Contents
1. Ilhapark
Ilhapark is located in Funchal, not far from the Lido promenade. I love this park because it’s a great place for kids to play on climbing frames and trampolines while being supervised, allowing parents to relax at the nearby café. It is also a popular venue for birthday celebrations, so it’s advisable to call in advance to confirm the opening hours.
2. Aquaparque Madeira
The water park in Madeira is a fun place to cool off during the island’s hot weather. It’s got a bunch of water slides, pools, and stuff to do for all ages. It’s set in a green area, so it feels like a tropical getaway. Even though there aren’t tons of slides, there are enough to keep you entertained. Plus, they’ve got cool bird shows and a lazy river. It’s near Santa Cruz, and remember, the water park is only open in the summer.ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t1JKrEC-f8
Best Rental Car Company on Madeira: When it comes to renting a car in Madeira, I recommend using family driving company Carwave Madeira. All the cars are new, fully equipped and include full insurance, no security deposit required and no hold credit card numbers. Book your rental car. If you prefer not to drive, you can also opt for guided tours or public transportation options available in Madeira.
3. Ajuda Gardens
Ajuda Gardens is a nice park located in Funchal. In Ajuda Gardens, you’ll find a wide variety of plants and flowers. There’s also a playground for kids, which is shaded by trees. And if you’re into sports, you can find here things like basketball court and ping-pong tables.
4. Quinta Magnolia
Quinta Magnolia Gardens, located in Funchal, is a delightful destination for nature lovers and families alike. One of the highlights of Quinta Magnolia Gardens is its dedicated children’s area, complete with a playground where little ones can run, climb, and play to their heart’s content. Additionally, visitors can enjoy observing rabbits and parrots in the garden. And after a day of exploring, you can relax at the cute cafe in the gardens, enjoying snacks and drinks in the peaceful atmosphere.
Exploring kids activities and playgrounds in Madeira offers a wealth of opportunities for families to create lasting memories together. From the enchanting natural beauty of the island to the vibrant array of recreational options available, there’s something for every child to enjoy. Whether it’s exploring lush gardens, playing in imaginative playgrounds, or engaging in fun outdoor adventures, Madeira provides a perfect backdrop for childhood exploration and discovery.

I never get tired of hiking the PR1 trail. Every time feels like a brand-new experience. The weather, the time of day, the season, the way the light falls — it’s always different. Even the clouds add to the magic. They’re never the same, constantly shifting in shape and hanging at different levels, making the landscape even more dynamic.
And the sunsets? They change with the season, casting their light differently on the cliffs and valleys, transforming the scenery in unexpected ways. No matter how many times I return, PR1 always feels like something new. It’s no wonder this trail is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. 🌅☁️✨
