FAQ

General Information

We offer various birthday party packages tailored to different group sizes, budgets, and themes. Our packages typically include:

  • Access to the play area and playtime
  • 1 entertainer per 7 children, with a program customized for their age
  • Welcome sign for guests and cake table decoration
  • Food and drinks
For younger children, we strongly recommend that parents stay to supervise. We have tables on the terrace where you can relax and enjoy while the kids are having fun. We kindly ask that parents do not go inside the playground during the party activities, as children usually feel less comfortable in a crowded space.
Our entertainment program lasts 2 hours and includes playtime in the park, fun age-appropriate games, snacks, and the cake moment. The cake can be served in our café area, outside the play area, allowing children to enjoy it at their own pace. This time is not included in the 2-hour program.

After the cake is served on the terrace, children cannot return to the playground, as we use this period to clean and prepare the space for the next party. If children wish to stay longer, they will need to wait approximately 30 minutes until the cleaning is finished, after which they may re-enter the playground under the usual conditions and at the regular price of the next play slot.

Bookings close one month before the event date to ensure we can offer those slots for play sessions. However, if you have a last-minute request, email us at info@puravidafunchal.pt, and we’ll do our best to find an available time for you!

The minimum quantity for booking a party is:

Package Light – 10 children
Package Plus – 20 children
Package Ultimate – 30 children

It is ok, if less kids appear at the parties, but we don’t make refunds for those who didn’t appear.

The final number of participants must be confirmed 48 hours before the party. The charge will be based on the final number of confirmations communicated by the client before the party. We do not offer refunds for absences. If additional children attend on the day, we can add them to the bill during the party without any problem.

We focus on active and educational games, tailored to the children’s ages. Our philosophy encourages interaction through classic and fun activities, using natural materials and toys, while avoiding screen exposure.
