The Visionarium aims to introduce the world of science to laypeople, especially young people, in a simple and educational way. The areas of knowledge (earth, matter, universe, and life) have dedicated rooms. The space also includes an experimental area, a temporary exhibition hall, and a surrounding landscaped area where you can participate in numerous recreational activities, including a planetarium.

Created in 1990 and acquired by the Santa Maria da Feira City Council in 2000, the Lourosa Zoo is the only park exclusively dedicated to birds in Portugal. Education, preservation of endangered species, and research are the park's three main functions. Macaws, ostriches, swans, owls, flamingos, vultures, and other birds populate the park, while lush vegetation adorns the space, making it pleasant even on the hottest days.
