1. Cantinho na Floresta
Cantinho na Floresta” is an amazing forest school and daycare located in the heart of nature. Here, children get a life-changing experience. With caring professionals like Catia and Monica, kids learn to be independent, confident, and connect deeply with nature. Parents love how their children come back from camp feeling calm and refreshed, having learned important skills. Just a heads up, this experience involves getting a bit dirty, so appropriate clothing is a must. The school is dedicated to helping children grow and be happy, making it a top choice for parents looking for a nurturing and educational environment for their kids.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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
4. 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.
5. 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.

At the serene heights of Madeira, amidst the gentle whispers of the setting sun and the tranquil drift of clouds, lies a sanctuary of peace.
Here, the chaos of daily life fades away, leaving only the present moment to cherish.
In this tranquil setting, I discover harmony amidst turmoil, embrace the mysteries of the unknown, and, above all, find solace within myself.
As the last rays of sunlight vanish beyond the horizon, they serve as a poignant reminder that every ending marks the dawn of a new beginning💫

The most famous hike in Madeira features several tunnels, each revealing extraordinary and sometimes even magical views. Each tunnel feels like a portal to another world, with landscapes so different on either side that it’s hard to believe they’re all part of the same trail. 🌿✨
This video was filmed at the passage through the first such tunnel along the route. Although, I would even say it’s more of an arch 🤔
