Any 'undercover' attractions for kids if weather is poor?

[Rob Watson]

I have a friend who is coming out to CVO next week with his 2 toddlers and, given the time of year, he is wondering whether there are any 'undercover' activities around the Algarve he can take the kids to if the weather isn't good.

I've suggested a few bars but I don't think that's what he had in mind!

Any suggestions gratefully received

:( There are a few places of interest to brighten up dull days. :) The Cork Museum in Silves,
:) There is a bowling Alley, creche area and cinema in algarve Shopping
:) Lagos offers a good selection of shops, the Old Slave Market and the Gold Church
:) There are indoor swimming pools in Silves and Lagoa
:) If the weather isn't too bad a trip on the train to Faro, Silves or Lagos from Estombar will be a different experience
:) For Adults and older children the express coach runs straight from Lagoa to Lisbon, and there is plenty to do and see there.
:) Zoo Marine has lots of areas undercover and you can always swim with the dolphins
:D So don't sit in and be miserable, get out and about and have fun.
