Know Before You Go

  • Parking: Recommended parking for visitors with disabilities or reduced mobility is near the main entrance, 200m away, with marked parking subject to available capacity.
  • Accessibility: Routes are not recommended for visitors with reduced mobility, and mobility support devices cannot enter the Castle.
  • Pets: Admission of pets is at the organization’s discretion; assistance dogs are allowed.

Tips & Advice

  • On a one-day visit, choose the shows and areas you most want to see first, because you can't fit every show, area and ride into one day.
  • Expect waits at the rides, and remember they can close for capacity or safety reasons, so don't build your whole visit around a single ride.
  • Leave bikes, skates, skateboards and similar ride-on gear at home, because no vehicles or recreational devices are allowed anywhere on the grounds.
  • Schools, companies and groups of 15 or more paying visitors must book at least 48 hours ahead, and places depend on available capacity.
  • If the weather disrupts the program, go to the Information Point the same day to swap your day ticket for another date, because refunds aren't given.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Visitors with disabilities or reduced mobility and at least 60% incapacity get free entry, and a companion gets in free with them.
  • Perlim à Mesa: restaurants in the centre of Santa Maria da Feira serve menus and add decorations and entertainment inspired by the Perlim characters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Perlim for?

Perlim is made for children and families, but everyone is invited. The twins Perlim and Pimpim live here, along with Fada Piri, Merlim the wizard, Plim, Pim, Preciosa and some new friends.

Can we see everything in one day?

No. You can't see every show and area or use every ride in a single day. If you're only coming for one day, pick the shows and areas you most want to see before you go.

What happens if the weather is bad?

In extreme weather the times of shows and attractions can change, or they can be cancelled without notice. You can swap a day ticket for another open day of equal or lower value. During the final week you can ask for a voucher for the 2027 edition instead. Refunds are not given.

How do school groups and large groups visit?

Schools, companies and groups of 15 or more paying visitors must book at least 48 hours ahead. Places depend on available capacity.
