You’ll step into Vila Encantada in Pomerode and find yourself swept up in laughter, hands-on games, and dinosaur adventures built for every age. Play side-by-side with your kids or just watch them run wild while you sip coffee under the trees—all attractions included, easy access for everyone. You might leave with muddy shoes but lighter hearts.
I didn’t expect the first thing I’d hear in Vila Encantada to be laughter echoing between giant ferns—kids darting around dinosaur tails, parents just as caught up. We’d barely made it through the entrance when a little boy tugged his dad’s sleeve and pointed at a T-Rex, roaring (the boy, not the dino). The air smelled faintly of grass and popcorn from the cafeteria nearby. Pomerode always feels gentle to me, but here it was louder, more alive.
Our guide, Ana, grew up in Santa Catarina and joked that she still can’t pronounce half the dinosaur names. She showed us how some of the games were designed for parents to join in—not just stand by taking photos. At one point my niece dragged me into a climbing area barefoot (I hesitated—slippery? but it was fine) and I realized I hadn’t done anything like this since I was her age. There’s something about seeing your family play together that makes you forget about your phone for a while.
I noticed older couples sitting under the trees, sipping coffee while kids zipped past. It wasn’t noisy exactly—just busy with voices and footsteps on gravel. The park is set up so everyone can get around easily; even strollers and wheelchairs glide over the paths. Ana told us they built everything thinking of families coming together for a day trip to Vila Encantada from all over Brazil. I still think about that moment when my nephew tried to say “Pachycephalosaurus” (he gave up halfway and we all laughed). Maybe that’s what sticks with you—the way time slows down when you’re just playing outside, no rush.
