- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC6,643 contributionsUsing Uber, I visited this huge, beautiful park. Near it are several monuments and statues.I got off at Gate 10 to start my visit. There are museums, Planetarium, Japanese House, lake with big black swans, green bridge, vendors selling drinks and snacks.
Museu Afro Brazil: has 3 floors of interesting exhibits showcasing the African influence of Brazil. Entrance fee is 15 reales. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms.
Lake: I enjoyed watching the group of black swans as they passed by. Would have stayed here longer, but bugs kept biting me. Bring insect repellent.
There are bikes and pedicabs for rent. Bikers and runners have designated paths. Highly recommended to visit this attraction.Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some roofs are open late for beverages and delicious dinners. Need to leave. Treat wallets and ostentatious, showy cameras with caution.Written 7 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rapoo S3 contributionsLovely, well-kept workspace with lots of fascinating art.
The kids would find the exhibit I visited to be quite engaging and sensory. Not to mention, the usual display is amazing.Written 7 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bathrooms it seems are well managed also.Written 21 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC6,643 contributionsAfter visiting the Metropolitan Cathedral, I walked to this attraction. On the way, I noticed another small church and the famous, Santa Teresa Restaurant/Bakery that has been in existence since 1872.
There are shops and restaurants selling Japanese goods and foods. Felt like I was back in Japan! Took several pictures here and enjoyed the ambience.Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The good thing is that we visited the museum on a Tuesday so it’s free. The bad thing is that it closes by 8pm and It’s our fault that we didn’t come early in order to explore the whole exhibit.
During our visit, there was a special exhibition of queer art for all over the world which is fascinating to know about.
The facility is great and the structure of the museum is amazing to look at. They also had a gender neutral bathroom and I had to double check where I was in the right one or not. Great initiative!Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The shops are great for browsing but are primarily fish, cheese, fruit, etc. So….not necessarily a lot of things for a tourist to buy. We had a tour that took us here. Otherwise, I would not try to get here on your own. The surrounding neighborhood is not ideal.Written 6 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dohko the TravellerSantos, SP5 contributionsI went there before, and it were a lot of fun! but in this pandemic stuffs there were less interactive (that is something very understandible!)Written 17 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- craftywriterSan Diego, CA2,101 contributionsGreat museum, located inside the Estadio Municipal Paulo Machado de Carvahlo. Most of the museum includes text in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. The few items that aren’t translated into English I had no problem using google translate. There’s also an audio tour available. At the end of the museum are a bunch of interactive exhibits that the kids and adults will love. Some of the items inside include a history Pele’s career and several of his jersey’s. Lots of pictures of Marta Vieira da Silva too. I enjoyed the columns by years… showing significant events that occurred not just in soccer during each decade.
I would definitely recommend this museum not just for the soccer but for Brazilian history too.Written 16 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Also, there is a nice and cozy coffee shop with specialty coffee and sweets. It is beautiful outside and inside and it is worth a visit.Written 15 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sawduztbognor regis16 contributionsThe botanical gardens is really nice experience. While it is lush with green, using the free app allows you to fully experience the diversity. We saw plenty of flowers and loads of monkeys. We also enjoyed the cactus garden.Written 7 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trek63664352418Belo Horizonte, MG2 contributionsFabulous. Some areas were being worked on and we still loved it. Probably better if you understand some Portuguese but i loved it without any. Very interesting, presented in creative ways, I will go back.Written 16 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
