We stayed in Madeira for a week in July, and my niece took her kids (ages 5 and 7) for the day and they had a blast! Lots of fun, VERY reasonable, and about a 20 minute ride from Funchal. The small village of Santa Cruz (where we rented an apartment) is where the water park is located, and is a 5-10 minute walk from the water park. It has numerous restaurants and is absolutely beautiful along the ocean. After exiting the water park, just head (walk) towards the water and turn left along the waterfront and you will come to the center of the village. I hope your kids enjoy the day!

A fantastic website for all things Madeira is http://www.love-madeira.com You may want to plan an extended visit there someday as there is so much to see and do...and don't forget to eventually visit the Azores, the most beautiful destination on earth!
