Nice place to enjoy an afternoon in Porto during those cloudy days. Its a museum with a lot of technology that makes the history of Portugal discoveries a lot more fun and enjoyable. It has a cool simulator of the travels that kids will love while learning the great adventures of Portugal.

Fun and entertaining look at the exploration history of Portuguese explorers. Personally I would like more static information rather than having to scroll through digital displays, would be difficult when the museum was busy. Loved the boat ride

One of the best museum I saw in my whole life. The fun is progressive and as you advance in the museum the rooms are increasingly beautiful and surprising. A most go place. A good place to learn history. Our toddler was very excited for this place.

Thanks to the rainy day I went to the World of Discoveries! Finally, I could learn about ships I used to play with in video games when I was a teenager. And a boat cruise made me feel excited as I’m 6 years old.

This is quite expensive, 2 adults and 1 child for 30 euros, which they say includes a discount. There are 4 rooms to visit, they explain or show the age of discoveries, the interior of a ship and what if carried and a shipyard. They are ok, but more interactivity like playing games would help beyond the touch screens which just provide info. The boat ride is the key part, it is arranged nicely, but as you watch and listen you wonder if really those nations would not have been better off (Portuguese built mines, gave them guns and ammo and others not mentioned here). Nice, but definetely overpriced for us.
