AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking but it's better Brazil, so you're best with public transportation. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. It's a wonderful location, you're not too far away from eateries and other stuff. You're not too far from the beach soooo good stuff. I enjoyed the exhibits and learned about Brazilian culture, relaxing here was pretty fun too. TIPS: * If the beach is too hot and need a break from that beach life, this a nice place to relax. * If you're lucky, you'll run into a vendor selling coconut water at a pretty solid price

In winter, I could only plan to take the tour of the stadium and the small museum on site. Admission was R94 and I guess I was expecting more from my tour of the largest soccer stadium in the world and a Brazilian institution. After the brief video introduction, we were escorted to the locker room and then left to wander on our own. No guided tour, no explanations posted (except in the museum area) but many opportunities to pay more for photos on the field, holding a replica FIFA trophy, kicking a soccer ball, etc. The locker room showcased every jersey from the Brazilian home teams and was quite popular photo spot to take pics with their favorite team. I sat in the home team bench dugout, climbed the stairs up the seating area to get a higher view of the field and get seated in the media room hot seat. The museum consisted of jerseys, bios on Pele and other famous players, the chairs from Queen Elizabeth's visit, Pope JPII stand, Olympics 2016, FIFA 2026 signed soccer ball by Shakira, COPA and FIFA teams and history. Bathrooms were located by the museum. After exiting the tour, the courtyard contained the gift shop and food court. I think they could do so much more to engage their fans but it seemed like paying for all those photo or video opportunities was the main focus unfortunately. Great for die hard fans or if one timed a visit for an actual game.

Yelp Review 2025 #179:…read more I originally wanted to visit this museum because of its architecture. It reminds me of Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias in Valencia, Spain. Museu do Amanha or Museum of Tomorrow is a nice museum in the Centro area of Rio focusing on visually presenting in a scientific method how our current affects our future. During my visit, the exhibits had climate crisis (no longer climate change) as the theme. Full-price tickets are 40 Brazilian Reais or under $8 which is not bad at all. If you want to check out specific exhibits, it's extra. The goal is to hopefully, open up our eyes as to how our actions or lack thereof affect our future in 50 years time or future generations. And bring awareness so we can make better choices. The resources we enjoy now may not be around in the future - nothing lasts forever unless, we do better. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and this museum was packed! I would've picked a different day and time but that's just how my itinerary worked. I only did a quick walk until I got overwhelmed by the crowd and I left. You can take pictures without flash/ annoying selfie sticks and short video clips in all areas of the museum except for Cosmos. There's a shop and a cafe. There are also vendors outside the museum selling popcorn, churros and açaí bowls. It turns out the architecture looked familiar because Museum do Amanha and Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias were designed by the same Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava.
