Discover the natural world on an Algarve villa holiday

A day at the exhibition would be great for those with children as it features lots of interactive displays and exciting experiments.

Visitors can journey through oceans and observe marine life through microscopes or check out the sun and the planets in the dedicated observatory.

They can also head to the intelligent greenhouse to discover what the planet's agriculture might be like in the future.

Of course those enjoying a villa holiday in the Algarve may be eager to relax on the beautiful beaches along the coast and eat in local restaurants.

But a trip to the Live Science Centre could be a great alternative day out and provide children with a break from the sun.

Families could rent a villa in Sao Bras, which is located in the hills north of Faro. The market town is renowned for its almond confectionery, which tourists could take home as holiday souvenirs.
