Impressive at first, a kid-friendly foyer followed by invertebrates and eels, it is after only a few more tanks that the shark-filled centerpiece arrives - a quick trip through the tank's tube followed by a "surf museum," gift shop and exit. The whole thing can be seen in 30-45 minutes.

If you want to refresh yourself and have fun that's the perfect place. The entrance tickets are very expensive however the service is very good and always has at least one lifeguard in each pool. The food are also very expensive and you can't enter with it in the park because it's prohibited. Despite this it's worth. Try it!

They have the same kind of system that most places (think Dave and Busters) have in the States where you buy in advance and can get deals on the prices. Then you get tickets to exchange for a piece of crap toy but you EARNED IT. Would love to go here after a few drinks for a birthday party. I don't know how families can afford it, but not my problem at the moment. Conveniently next to food and banks!

There isn't much to see in this park except for a few playground equipment and exercise stations…read more The entire park has a solid sand floor which is very uninviting, though a few grassy areas can be had here and there. Seating is plentiful via a low perimeter wall that is shaded in most areas with quite a few trees. Other than that, most people use this park as access onto Ipanema Beach from the main road.

There's a small playground, blacktop (where street performers often meet and practice standing on stilts, etc.) and grassy area. It's fenced off but has openings for the beach access, so tends to feel a little more closed off and safe. It has the best access to Arporador, leading you straight to the rock to go see the sunset. Or, turn the corner and you'll head back to Ipanema.

The views and the location could not be beat. You buy the ticket from the counter and then head on inside to take the cable car which takes you up first to Morro de Urca and then Pao de Azuca (Sugarloaf mountain). You literally can choose to spend however much time you want at either spot although i think most people stay at Urca longer because the view is clearer and its more spacious. The first stop lets you take in the beautiful city views and the second stop is literally in the skies so you will see the misty skies and take in the whole city from the top while admiring nature at its best. I also had the best chocolate churro here so that added to the sweetness of the spot. My favorite spot in Rio and i cant wait to go back one day.
