But even at Monte Rosa the youngest guests will not be bored. The grounds are inviting to explore, for example to build huts. There are swings, a slide and a sports field. There is a dressing up box and the common room you will find many games and books. Our cat Mo loves to be petted and the kids can join us to feed the chickens and get fresh eggs from the henhouse. For city kids this is often quite an experience! They can also help in the organic vegetable garden. Of course, many hours will also be spent in the pool, which is beautifully lit at night.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_team_member][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Lagos Zoo&#8221; image_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.monterosaportugal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/monkey.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||60px|&#8221; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Within walking distance of Monte Rosa is a small-scale zoo, the Lagos Zoo.
