Pavilhão da Água

Pavilhão da Água is a science museum located in Porto that focuses on water and its role in nature and human life. The building features multiple exhibition areas with interactive displays that explain water cycles, environmental processes, and conservation principles.

The museum was established as an educational facility focused on water science and environmental awareness for visitors of all ages. It has grown into an important institution for teaching about water resources and conservation across northern Portugal.

The site serves as a gathering place where visitors discover how water shapes daily life and environmental awareness in the region. It reflects the community's connection to the Douro River and Porto's relationship with water.

The museum is easy to reach and designed for visitors of all ages to explore the exhibits comfortably. Plan time to participate in the interactive demonstrations, as these hands-on activities are central to the learning experience.

The museum operates outdoor education programs that bring water science demonstrations beyond the building into Porto's parks and public spaces. This means visitors can encounter hands-on learning experiences in unexpected locations throughout the city.
