WOW Porto – Planet Cork

1 hour and 30 minutes

Easy

Planet Cork shows how cork oaks are harvested and how the huge slabs are transformed into wine and sparkling wine corks stoppers.

The cork museum is one of the most popular among families, as it is very educational, but also interactive. You will be welcomed by a replica of a giant cork oak and by the sounds and images of the ecosystem that surrounds it. Embrace Nature, understand the magic behind behind this 100% sustainable material and be proud: Portugal is the largest cork producer on the planet.

Planet Cork shows how cork oaks are harvested and how the huge slabs are transformed into wine and sparkling wine corks stoppers. We thus move from the field environment to the factory environment, to then review all the applications of cork in our daily lives and this takes us on a tour of world architecture, interior design, NASA rockets and McNamara's surfboard. The discoveries are countless, sometimes even unusual and, often, fun. In the end, there will be just one conclusion: cork is a wonderful world.
