No. Entry is open until the Refeitório das Alunas (the old students' dining hall) is full.

Can we bring a stroller?

Plan to carry it. The city notes that Mosteiro de Odivelas has no access for people with reduced mobility.

What else is on at the monastery that weekend?

The Odivelas Conventual fair runs Oct 16 to 18, with producers of convent and traditional sweets, tastings, cooking demos, and evening concerts by Cistermúsica and the Lisbon Film Orchestra.

Will my kid be photographed?

Possibly. The city says the event may be photographed and filmed for its own communications.

About

A kids' program inside Odivelas Monastery, the medieval Cistercian convent where King Dinis is buried, held during the town's convent-sweets fair. Kids watch a puppet show about the king or join a story hour, decorate cookies, then hear stories set to music. It suits preschool and early primary kids who can sit through a short show. Older kids may find it young.
