The best park in Campo Grande, most of the walking/running track has shade, beautiful animations can be seen all over the park.
Amazing park! Especially the Capybaras are so cute to see. Perfect for running oder biking, especially on the weekend.
We had a beautiful walk on a quiet Monday morning. This is a safe clean park, well maintained. The restrooms are clean and organized.
A nice park in an otherwise boring city. Many capybaras around. Mango trees with the fruit just falling off of the trees, very cool. Coconut water stands nearby. There could be more trees planted to provide some shadow on hot days.
Another must go in Campo Grande! You find capybaras in and around the lake, macaws, and other animals with a large green area to enjoy
So nice! Went there in the evening for a walk and saw sooo many capivaras 🤩🤩🤩. There's also snack stands where you can buy coconut water and filled churros. Worth visiting!

Nice little park, clean, with a playground and two tents courts. The jogging lane is very very short with only 425m. A refresh course to the city centre. Good for a short walk
It a place that you can exercise your self and have a health life

Slide 1 of 8
A nice and wonderful place. It's the best way to know essential information about the indigenous cultures at the Pantanal and Amazonia. You can find also the most representative fauna in a wonderful taxidermy collection.
Well with a visit to see a huge array of indigenous artefacts. The poorly designed or low intensity lighting makes appreciation difficult. The explanations in Portuguese and English are well-informed but densely packed into large paragraphs and with no maps to accompany geographical content. The park outside is delightful with lovely trees. Walk down the interior road outside the museum across the river to see more in quieter parts of the park.
This is the only must-go museum in Campo Grande, the place where you will be able to see all different species of fauna and flora you can find in the State and the Pantanal area. They also have a lot of native Brazilians artifacts and cultural information to display and, depending on the day, you might be lucky to have a guided visit with an English-speaking guide.
Great place to visit to learn a bit about Mato Grosso do Sul's cultural history and its native species. All exhibits have an explanation in English. The nature exhibition is a great showcase of the the fauna and mineral deposits in the land.
The exposition was very awkward, some parts on the ground and some parts mainly blocked off by walls
Beautiful place to visit

(Translated by Google) The Igreja Matriz de Campo Grande-MS is a beautiful work of architecture! The building is very well preserved. We didn't go inside because it was closed when we were there. But I believe it must be as beautiful inside as it is outside. I recommend it! (Original) A Igreja Matriz se Campo Grande-MS é uma obra de arquitetura belíssima! O prédio está muito bem conservado. Não entramos, pois estava fechada no momento em que estávamos lá. Mas creio que deve ser tão bonita por dentro quanto por fora. Recomendo!

(Translated by Google) Great place, very welcoming, calm mass and beautiful music, now I go to mass daily (Original) Lugar ótimo, muito acolhedor, missa calma e lindas músicas, agora, vou a missa diariamente
(Translated by Google) In the middle of a holy mass for the dead, the priest was preoccupied with speaking ill of other religions. A depressing and backward attitude. Jesus didn't ask for that. (Original) Em plena santa missa de finados o padre se preocupando em falar mal de outras religiões. Atitude deprimente e retrógrada. Jesus não pediu isso.

This is one of my favorite places to go to in Campo Grande. This mall is very family friendly and often has pop up sales. The food court has a great variety and there is also a cinema. They often have special events for the family and kids.
I was confused by the Brazilian L'Occitane products. But the prices reminded me that they are the same as the French one. Weird Horror House in the middle of it. Loved the supermarket and it's child-head sized avocados
The most (-) thing is the parking few us is a little high, but I like this little shopping mall. It has some neat stores and Restaurants. I was very disappointed in Mr. Bacon. The prices are high and portions small.
Good shopping mall, decent food court. Unfortunately, the parking costs a fortune! Also, could do with a few more signs/maps/directory to find where the shops you want are located...
Great selection of shops and restaurants. There is also a cinema. Only downside is it gets very busy so parking can be a problem.
Awesome. I love my coffee ☕ in Mc Donald's
