Estação das Docas - On the waterfront of Belém, overlooking the Guajará Bay, Estação das Docas is ideal for enjoying Pará cuisine at one of the most visited tourist spots in the capital of Pará. For children, there is a space for fun and entertainment on the 2nd floor, the Estação Curumim. With the supervision of monitors, parents can leave their children safely while enjoying the restaurants and kiosks in the complex. The prices for the children's area vary according to the duration of the child's stay.
On Sunday, the complex will host another edition of the ArtChic Fair, special for Mother's Day, bringing together various exhibitors of handmade items.
Parque do Utinga - A natural refuge that preserves Amazonian species, the Parque Estadual do Utinga is the right environment to contemplate nature or exercise the body. The complex has trails that lead directly to areas with cafes, where it is possible to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
