The staff is incredible, everyone is super attentive and helpful. The hotel food is amazing, there is a lot of variety and everything is prepared with great care. The paradise, an area with a pool exclusively for guests, is charming and made our stay at the hotel much more enjoyable. The trails to the waterfalls and the lake with rowing sports add a nice touch to the peaceful atmosphere of the common areas. The bungalow's exclusive hot tub and hot water pools make the hotel a perfect place to relax at any time of the day.
Victor C — Google review
Disappointed in this experience. Beautiful location but the amenities need improvement. One pool was not working, other pool was ridiculously hot with no shaded area. This should have been disclosed up front. Additional activities required purchase through a 3rd party which was only disclosed when we arrived. Overall, there's a lot to improve.

Thermas de São Pedro

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Thermas Water Park is a spacious and enjoyable destination, boasting an array of attractions such as wave pools, slides, waterfalls, and a designated area for children. Snack kiosks cater to visitors' refreshment needs. However, during peak times like October 2022 holidays, the park tends to get overcrowded with long waiting times for popular rides, food services, and restrooms. The limited seating arrangement requires early arrival to secure tables and chairs.
Worth the 180R price tag! We had an amazing fun packed day and only wish we could have stayed longer! They should stay open until 7pm for sure. The wave pool is so much fun and just when you think you have been everywhere there is LOADS more! The only downfall is not being able to bring your own food and drink into the park, I think they would attract more customers if that was the case because once you have paid 180R entrance (I think it's a little bit cheaper if you book online) then you pay 25R for the locker, 25R for the parking and THEN have to pay for food and drink all day it does start to add up, especially if you have a family! However, this will not deter me from going again and again! It looks like they are adding more attractions as well so it can only get better. I wasn't sure what the point of the big castle was but it was nice to look at. I would prefer the lazy river to be deeper and also have a pool that's deep for proper swimming. BEWARE the umbrellas at the table are made from plastic and not material so you can get a nasty bump on the head if you walk into one 😂 GREAT PLACE. Next time we will book to stay there!
Rebecca B — Google review
Is everything going to be fine and the personal make good job nice place for family ist clean and perfect 🤩 really we liked but we pay really more many for just one day, I have just question? Why the people pay for parking that is not good this is not right i think you need be free for people come visit .
2gether B — Google review
The place is nice but has some design flaws. I really like the wave pool, it has around the right depth and having waves for a full 30 minutes every hour is something I did not see in a park before, so that is great. The downside is that the wave pool is not that clean, multiple floating tooth picks and other trash (a pity). The other pools are more clean, but not all pools are transparent. The warmed pool is nice but I find that the pool is very shallow, less than a meter. It is nice that they play music around here and the pool is big enough that you can choose how hard you want the music (by changing the distance). The volcano has just too shallow pools, the pool of just 20 cm deep is a bit useless. The small stream also is too shallow, with 40 cm you cannot really float in the small stream but rather need to almost walk it. The water slides are very nice, but I think they should do something about small kids that move slow on the water slides because they are too light. This makes the lines long and also is not fun for the kids because they basically gets stuck in the slides, this is a problem for the blue whale water slide, the other blue slide, red slide, white/green and white/yellow slide. Maybe more water is a solution?overall, I really like the selection of different water slides and with around 10 slides in the park this is great. I also like they have a large part for young kids to play with water. The food I considered quite affordable in the park, pastels for 12 real is great. The pay per Kilo restaurant is a bit on the expensive side. At the entrance they check you bags for dangerous items. The parking is well arranged in the park. The park claims to be an international park, but one of the things not possible is buying tickets on the creditcard of a non-brazilian person. One thing I miss is a pool that is around 2 meters deep such that you can jump well. I considered the toilets nicely clean. Lockers are decent size.
F. N — Google review
This is a small good place to enjoy. Slides are rather boring, no speed going down and long waiting times to enter. Food is reasonable quality and price. Buying the credits on the card for food is annoying and time consuming. There is 1 thing I really hate about the place (many Brazilian places do this!) when buying the tickets or upgrading your food card, they ask for your social security number. When you buy tickets online, after this process within 5 minutes to start calling and harassing you to sell you stuff. It should be forbidden by law. Asking your social security number is an insult and an infringement on your privacy.
Edwin K — Google review
We went there on a holiday, October, 2022. We arrived at around 9:20, but there were already a lot of people. Around noon, it’s too crowded. We needed to wait for everything, for example, water slider, cafeteria and bathroom. And also there was no enough space in the pool. In addition, their table and chair were limited, we secured it at 9:30. So it’s better to go there early time to save the table and chair. It’s great place for family but we recommend to consider the good date.

Nice zoo, there are a lot of different animals and many animals from brazil. The lion and tiger enclosures were not accessible when we visited. They have many birds ranging from exotic ducks to several types of aras. They also have a hippo, several types of crocodiles, snakes, foxes and wild dogs. There are a couple of enclosures currently empty.

I visited this place just to see capibaras. Unfortunately for me, I only saw one. I think it was a bad luck. Besides capibaras, the park takes care of some monkeys, aras, but also some animals that I as European don't know for my continent. So visiting the place was interesting for me. The park is huge and you can spend quite some time with roaming around. To see everything with slow pace, I would say that 2 hours are more than enough. But you can manage to see what you are interested in in about 1 hour, as I did. Entrance tickets to this place are surprisingly cheap, so I would encourage you to visit park and support it this way.

Better with family. This is an excellent spot for running, offering wide and varied trails with spots of shade at all times of day, the path was not paved in all places and so it may be muddy in the rain. There is a big ship to explore and beautiful plants. There were paddle boats but they had a cost to try. And some play equipment for kids. Depending on your disposition, this may not be the best place to go if you have limited time. There is not much that distinguishes it from any other large park in the world and it is not well maintained. It was hot and few places to buy water so come prepared.

A nice (green) park, kinda small one but still nice, well kept, kids friendly, well located, overcrowded in weekends, parking may be troublesome.
Woody A — Google review
This is a very big park, with no entrance fee! I was impressed to see capybaras chilling everywhere. There is a Planetarium, but i advise to first check out the opening hours. There's a huge ship you can get on and several food stalls with delicious snacks.

Definitely my favorite park in Campinas! Amazing green scenery views, river, trees, capybaras everywhere. Delicious Açaí and ice cream are the bonus. Very clean and animal friendly park. There are many street cats but they love people and people take care of them too. One of my father in law's cats is from this park and he named her "Serena".

Hopi Hari

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Hopi Hari is a vibrant amusement park that promises an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. Named after the God of joy and the Goddess of adventure, this park boasts five distinct themed areas: Kaminda Mundi, The Wild West, Infantasia, Mistieri, and Aribabiba. Each zone offers a unique blend of thrilling rides and family-friendly attractions.
Is better to buy in advance but also get the VIP ticket online. Really amazing place for vacation
Zahira T — Google review
It was really good. I visited on a weekend Saturday, and the lines for some rides were crazy long . After 5 hours, I had completed 4 rides and a snack. Wait-time for some attractions were almost 45 mins. The fastest was 10 mins. The vip pass should be incorporated into a ticket, but to pay R$200 in addition to $170 for entry was too crazy especially when buying 4 tickets. If you only have cash their is a location after the Egyptian site that issues a rechargeable card.

Amazing place more suitable for older kids maybe 8 to 9 years cause the interesting games are for older kids. But it is an amazing structure full of games you would need a whole day for this. The restaurants are not very practical for kids and not super clean. But overall amazing place.

It's a good place, the biggest problem is there's no free water to drink, covid is over already but you can't find water, only way it's to buy a water bottle. The hamburger is really bad but at least is cheap, the buildings is in need of repairs. Now on the good side, a lot of attractions, a big team to help you, organized line and almost all works are smiling.
Matheus M — Google review
Hopi Hari is a nice theme park to spend a day. I highly recommend purchasing the VIP pass because the line wait times prevented us from riding all the rides; the VIP pass is quite expensive though. The rides we rode were fun and the evening show was amazing! The food quality was average but I enjoyed the bacon and cheddar fries.
Lindsay C — Google review
Great place! The day I visited (Feb 9th 2019) the park was very clean and with just a few people inside, I would say 2500 people. The lines were incredibly fast. The restaurants had slow service. The park is recovering from a strong crisis. It has been refurbished and everything is shining new, but the low number of visitors is still a sign that it still have a long way to go. But I loved it! 10!

A great place to spend a day with or without children. There are lots of different and varied facilities. It is not possible to pay on the spot in cash just to recharge a card or credit card. The icing on the cake was that anyone who has a birthday gets another card as a gift 🤩
Yifat A — Google review
Great park with very interesting concept: the place is its own country, and fun is the main rule. Unfortunately, they've always had financial issues, which currently leads to ever-in-maintenance attractions and the feeling that all of its potential is going to waste. Some of the coolest attractions were closed on February-21, when we visited the park. Employees are polite and gentle, but nothing compares to the reception at the entrance: clowns and other artists sing, dance and welcome the public, with contagious joy and excitement. They also seem concerned about COVID and wearing a mask is required at 100% of times, besides every attraction is cleaned with alcohol after a guest leaves. Attractions are not as radical as they seem, but roller coasters are definitely worth the experience. The wooden one is not only impressive, but it also crosses the road near the park, and is an unique experience. To avoid the kilometric lines, it's recommended to acquire a VIP pass. However, it costs BRL 120 or more (depending on the day), twice the entrance ticket value. This is expensive for Brazilian standards, but unfortunately it's the only way to have fun and enjoy your day at the park without wasting hours waiting in line. Food is overall too expensive and not tasty, so it's also recommended to take some snacks and try not to eat much. Taking water and sunscreen is also the most important thing and this is located on the countryside, and sun seems to hit differently when compared to São Paulo. To save money, take an Uber from Jundiaí train station. Overall, park fans can get a great experience for an expensive price. I wouldn't recommend it for people who are not willing to spend money, people who are not already willing to give it a chance, or very tall or large people (attractions seem designed for smaller and skinnier people. Most are not fit for people above 120kg, so a bigger person wouldn't fit a roller coaster seat, for example)

Wet'n Wild

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Park
Wet'n Wild is an expansive and vibrant water park with a multitude of slides, a wave pool, and occasional DJ-led events. While the food court options are limited and slightly expensive, children often delight in the burger meals available. Moreover, there are also more affordable snack choices that benefit parents financially. The staff members are exceptionally helpful and amiable. However, one drawback is the steep price for parking at 50R$, especially when considering the already high ticket price of 99R$.
Great day out, I really enjoyed this water park and my 11year old neice also had fun. The park wasn't busy, queues were short, it was clean and tidy and the food and drink on offer was of a good enough standard. The yellow capsule drop slide was scary but fun, and the white half pipe and family rubber ring slides were my favourite. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone to visit and would go again.
Tristan C — Google review
A very disappointing visit to a very unkept “wet n wild” theme park chain. The water was ice cold, half the rides weren’t operational and most of the food stores were close. We visited on a weekend during these past Christmas school holidays. Wet N Wild, how about not neglecting Brazil’s theme park and ripping off the locals for every penny to enter. It is absolutely outrageous you charge a fee for children under 3 years old. In AUSTRALIA the children’s entry starts at 3 years old so answer me this why are you charging the patron’s in Brazil???? I can not believe we had to pay for my 1 year old son to enter to not even be able to enjoy some play because the water was like the Atlantic. One very disappointing visit to see how much you have let it get run down. Especially when the locals don’t know any different, I will make it clear. WET N WILD BRAZIL you are over priced, you need maintenance and a full renovation. Absolutely appalling how run down this venue had become. My advice: don’t bother wasting your time or your hard earned money at this theme park.
Courtney L — Google review
Wet n wild is a great place to visit if you have little kids or teens. It has a great atmosphere and lots of different ride options. Most of the lines aren't too long except for the Vortex which is about a 30 min wait. Olga, Luiz Carlos and Kevin were very helpful. The food is okay the snack bar is mostly burgers and it's quite unhealthy. The place is a bit worn down - most of the rides haven't been painted in a while and there are very few floaties for rides making the wait longer than it needs to be. However, it was an overall amazing experience.

Avoid at all costs during the weekend. I went with my 14 yo kid and 10 of his friends. Here is our journey: * Parking is well organized and reasonably priced (r$ 60) * It took us 75 minutes to get in the park - that's because we bought tickets in advance. There was no shade, drinks or staff in the entrance line * We had to wait 60 minutes more in line to get a locker. * We chose a ride that was not too busy. We "only" had to wait 45 minutes in line. That means that it took three hours from the time we arrived to the time we took our first ride. * The kids took another ride and off we went for lunch. 35 minutes in line, and the tables were dirty and full of flies. What an unforgettable experience to have lunch surrounded by thousands of flies. * We took one most popular rides in the afternoon and it was time to go. * In a nutshell, we arrived at 10am and left at 4 pm, for a total of 6 hours in the park. We took 3-4 rides, each of which lasted about 45 seconds. That averages out to 2 hours wait for every minute of riding. * Staff is friendly, but poorly trained. When we want to buy an ice cream, it took staff 3 minutes to sell one popsicle. * Management don't apparently enforce any capacity limit to the park. There were clearly four times more people in the park that there should be. There is zero chance lifeguard could see any kid drowning - which luckily didn't happen. * There is medical examination to be in the park - and there were a few people with obvious and apparent skin diseases that shouldn't be there. That, combined with a 35 degrees Celsius temperature made this trip the worst trip of my last 20 years of life (where I have been travelling extensively for work and tourism across 25+ countries in 5 continents)

Eat before you leave your home. My wife always talk to me that would she like to go in a water club. Although, we live in a city with beach she prefers fresh water. The last month we went to Jundiaí SP and we resolve have fun in a club, so we choose Wet'n Wild. I already paid 50R$ only to park my car under the sun. inside the club we wasted some time find place for accommodation but I not found. However, we like the wave swim and the place for kids. Finally we went have a meal and one more time wast more time in the line. When our time arrived there weren't desks available we had eat standing up under the sun.

Crazy expensive and over priced. Prices are abusive. Its not as fun as i remembered and I got hurt in qll the rides. Make sure to buy tickets before you go, otherwise you pay $50 more. Plus another $50 just for parking, and another $30 for a locker. Like I said, abusive.

Cristo Redentor de Serra Negra

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Transportation
Tramways
Cristo Redentor de Serra Negra offers a challenging climb with approximately 8 meters of uneven stairs, making it unsuitable for those with health issues. However, the breathtaking panoramic view of the town below from the top makes it worth the effort for most visitors. The location also provides wheelchair access from the car park to Christ and features a delightful chocolate shop nearby. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful and amazing experience while taking in the spectacular views at this iconic site.
Reaching the top is not for someone who is out of shape, it could even be a health risk for those with heart health issues. There is about 8meters of stairs to climb and the stairs are not so well made as some of them are low steps and some are hi steps, this can be a problem going back down too. When you reach the top, however, you will be rewarded with a beautiful picturesque view of the town in the valley below. In my opinion it's worth the effort if your health will allow it. I really really enjoyed it and it is a memory I will savor for years to come.

Amazing place to go with your family specially if you have kids, they will love it. The trails is quit long for small child's and they don't have accessibility, or if you go with a small kids you will have to carry them during some stages of the trail, but apart of it is an excellent place to visit. I recommend to arrive after lunch in hot days, you will need around 3 hours to do the course. It has a restaurant and cafeteria to eat.

Zoo
Aquário de São Paulo, located in the Ipiranga neighborhood of Brazil, is a spacious and impressive aquarium that offers an array of attractions. Visitors can explore thousands of animals from both aquatic and land environments, including sloths, seals, penguins, bats, koalas, and more. The aquarium showcases a diverse range of marine life such as sharks, manatees, alligators, otters as well as various fish species like tangs, piranhas and eels.
Variety of animals. Great staff. Buy your ticket in advance, on their site. The animals look healthy and at ease. Please respect the silence in certain areas... The otters in particular get spooked easily. Otherwise you may not be able to spot them. The aquarium has a specific route you have to follow, so it may end up being a bit crowded in some places in the aquarium part of the route. There's a big restaurant area, a smaller cafeteria and a few shops where you can buy souvenirs. I'd suggest that you wait to buy things until the last shop, so you don't lost too much time. We ended up spending 3h+ in the aquarium.

You can buy tickets inside cash only or pix It was lovely seeing all the fish, insects and animals. Especially see how big some of the fish are, was kind of crazy compared to what I'm use to. Was very quiet which was nice no over crowding and seemed like a reasonable amount of space in the enclosures, seemed quite big for some of the animals. I just hope it was cold enough for the polar bears.

We had such a great time at the Aquário de São Paulo! I went with my sister and my one-year-old nephew, and it was a fantastic experience for all of us. The aquarium is much bigger than we expected, with a wide variety of animals — from colorful fish and sharks to penguins, kangaroos, and even polar bears! Everything is well organized, clean, and easy to navigate, even with a stroller. The themed areas are super creative and immersive, and there’s always something new and exciting around each corner. My nephew was completely mesmerized the whole time, and honestly, so were we! It’s the perfect place for a family outing — fun, educational, and full of surprises. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere during games is described as electric, especially when witnessing passionate fans like Gavioes da Fiel in action.
Built in 2014 for the World Cup, it's still as impressive as 10 years ago. Very modern stadium, house of Corinthians Football Club. I watched a derby here (Corinthians vs Palmeiras) and I can say it really was one of the best atmosphere I ever encountered at this kind of event.

Great arena tour, gave me awesome ideas for world-building, also learned some parts of the history of the team, only problem that I found (may not be a problem for everyone) was that the tour guide spoke too quickly, didn't wait for the party to be full to begin explaining, plus the microphone was too loud and burst, I couldn't understand a couple of things, but overall a good experience. Although some things were dirty even though construction isn't over yet.

We went here for the first time to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Chargers. NFL football. Very straight forward place to get into. Plenty of Uber drivers to leave the stadium after the game. Seating was not crammed and small. Had plenty of elbow room. Ordering food was done through a kiosk and then you take that reciept to another counter to receive your food which we found to be very efficient. We purchased a souvenir cup and when we went to pick up our order learned that we did not receive a drink with the cup which we thought was weird. Had to go back to the kiosk to order a drink, and when we went to go pick it up the canned soda only filled our small souvenir cup up half way. The lady helping us with the food was super helpful and nice as was all of them. The only other small issues were that they closed the store before the game started and then opened it back up after. It was at least 90minutes prior to the game starting and they closed the store? Nice stadium and enjoyed our time here.

The view at the end is stunning, and we were lucky to go on a day when the Minas Gerais side was clear and the São Paulo side was very foggy—simply incredible. Note that you need to purchase your ticket online, and there are fixed entry times. (Original) Ótima trilha, relativamente fácil e muito proveitosa. A vista no final é muito boa, e tivemos sorte de ir num dia onde o lado mineiro estava com céu limpo, e o lado paulista com muita névoa, simplesmente incrível.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, the best trail in Monte Verde. The area is very well maintained by private initiative, with excellent upkeep, clear signage, security, and guidance before the start of the trail, making the entrance fee worthwhile. It's the most suitable option for families, especially older people and children, as the route is easy and accessible. The Platô trail, while very beautiful, is much steeper, more rugged, and longer, requiring physical preparation and extra attention. I recommend both, but each is suited to a different type of visitor and fitness level. (Original) Sem dúvida, a melhor trilha de Monte Verde. O local é muito bem cuidado pela iniciativa privada, com excelente manutenção, sinalização clara, segurança e orientações antes do início do percurso, o que faz o valor do ingresso valer a pena. É a opção mais indicada para famílias, especialmente pessoas de mais idade e crianças, pois o trajeto é tranquilo e acessível. Já a trilha do Platô, embora muito bonita, é bem mais íngreme, acidentada e longa, exigindo preparo físico e atenção redobrada. Recomendo ambas, mas cada uma para um tipo de visitante e nível de disposição.

I'm a tourist from the U.S and one of my favorite things to do is to see the difference between malls in different countries. Let's just say Brazilian malls are one of my new favorites. I wasn't there to buy anything so I enjoyed just looking around, however, if you were going to buy something it's not very cheap. Example: a Maybelline mascara costs 80 Reais which, for an American, would be $20.00. I would economize, look around, and maybe buy something small, but don't go there for a shopping spree. The food court is great with several options, but, again, the prices and portions are wild for me as a foreigner. Overall, the mall is pretty and clean and I would come here again just to see the different stores.

A not so huge space. A congested environment during weekend. Just like other malls the ambience is the same and restaurants as usual are crowded. No English speaking guide and Walmart in it is the added advantage. Walmart is not so big as we normally see but a good place for a one stop shop
Ansari S — Google review
I only didn't give it a 5 star because of it's Pet Policy. Like in many other malls in Brazil pets are allowed in, but in this one you have to carry them on your lap. It is also forbidden to leave your pet at the entrance like many other places allow you to. So, if your pet is a lil fatty like mine, choose a different place to go to. Appart from that, very best mall in town.

This is a very beautiful and well maintained place with lots of nice shaded spots to take photos and plenty of photo moments to be had if you’re so inclined! One thing I would have liked to have seen more of was signage. There was plenty of general signage about the areas (in Portuguese of course so get your translator ready if you don’t speak the language!) but none specifically for trees and plants. Overall enjoyable, and we spent around 90 minutes wandering around.

Food is amazingly good. Restaurant has incredible views of the mountains and valley, beautiful scenery. Menu is very wide, portions are well served. Staff and service also very attentive and nice. One can also visit the gardens in a park at the restaurant, which is also very much worth the time.
Gabriel K — Google review
Beautiful Park. There you can find thematic gardens ( the theme is the different gardens you can find in different countries). There is a garden Jurassic park themed (they are still building it). It's a good place for a walk or to bring your kids. The landscape is breathtaking!
Juliana I — Google review
A beautiful place to spend some time on, the park has some theme gardens onsite. They also have a restaurant and a souvenirs store. Visits can be guided if you prefer. Its on a mountain so 1.2km up and then 1.2km down. It has some animals (macaw parrot e.g.) and a lot of good spots for making photos. The ticket to visit the park costs BRL 30 (Feb/2020), there's also a quad bike trail (BRL 100). The visit on foot will take you something as 2 hours going up with a guide and down taking photos by yourself.

What I liked: - the town and the beach looked reasonably not too crowded, allowing us to find easily space for ourselves on the beach and at the restaurant What I did not like: - the town is in fact just a short road with some bars and restaurants, but there is not a real attraction to visit after the beach.

Nice beach with some structure and some beach-facing things like restaurants. > Traffic to arrive may be terrible, so pay attention to the period you're visiting. Going on off-season periods is better. > It's not the cleanest beach, but water is good enough for swimming. > You will need to consume (eat or drink) to rent the umbrella and chairs. When I went there it was BRL30 consumption per person. > In comparison to other local beaches, I felt very safe in there. People were friendly and never hostile in any sense.

Very nice manageable size for children. We saw species we'd never seen before and there is a beautiful shell collection. The tide exhibit was fun. The petting pool was a new experience too. There's a nicely decorated cafe (we got a free coffee with a family ticket) overlooking a play area outside on the promenade. The recycling exhibit was overly sombre at the end of the tour.
Rachel C — Google review
The visit is very pleasant and the path is interesting with posters and exhibitions. The place is not very big but there are spectacular types of marine animals. I suggest to avoid peak time as it could be stressing waiting in the queue. Near the exit, you can touch a number of live examples like the star fish, pepino do mar, etc. There is a small restaurant inside, which can also serve people not in the aquarium from the side overlooking the beach.
