• Gardens open to everyone, so the Olive-Tree lawn and its lakes work as a picnic stop without a museum ticket
• Fábrica das Artes program of performances and workshops for children and families, with tickets sold per show on the CCB site
• Next to Jerónimos Monastery, so it pairs easily with Belém Tower and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos in one outing

Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB) is a large arts complex facing the Tagus, with theater and concert auditoriums, the MAC/CCB contemporary art and architecture museum, and Fábrica das Artes, its program of children's shows and workshops.

Outside, the Olive-Tree Garden is a long lawn shaded by olive trees, with lakes on either side where kids play. The Water Garden has a long pool set above the street.
