The experience

The tour runs eight hours and starts from wherever you're staying: hotel, airport, any address. Your private guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese or French and handles all the driving, so you're free to manage the kids and decide the pace. Entrance fees to attractions aren't included, so you choose which stops matter most to your family before the day starts, and the guide builds the route around them.

Catavento Museum sits inside a historic Industrial palace and holds over 250 interactive installations spread across 12,000 square meters: kids move through exhibits on the creation of the universe, physics, nature and chemical reactions, all built to be touched and explored rather than just looked at. The São Paulo Zoo houses more than 3,200 animals across hundreds of species, including one of the world's most complete collections of big cats and apes, plus endangered animals like golden lion tamarins. The Aquarium spans 15,000 square meters with 4 million liters of water divided into themed sectors that mimic natural habitats (a submarine wreck, Patagonian Argentina, the Amazon, Australian and African zones) holding sharks, penguins, rays, sea lions, koalas, lemurs and polar bears.

Beyond those three, the guide can route you to KidZania (50 activities where kids aged 3 to 14 try different careers in a child-scale city), the Football Museum (15 thematic rooms on how the sport arrived in Brazil, with old uniforms, trophies and footage from Pacaembu stadium), the Zoology Museum (700 square meters of stuffed animals and life-size dinosaur replicas), the Biological Institute's bee and insect exhibits, escape rooms, Impulso Parque's interconnected trampolines, iFLY's indoor skydiving, Casa de Pedra climbing gym, Jurassic Safari's drive-through dinosaur park, or Monza Automodelismo's model car racetracks. The guide personalizes the itinerary based on what your kids want to see and how much time you want at each stop.
