Top 10 Things to do in Butantã, State of Sao Paulo (SP)
The largest city in South America, Sao Paulo’s cuisine and art is as multinational as its diverse population of 10 million. With the restaurants of the Jardins district serving every food imaginable to diners from around the world, you wouldn’t be out of place going to Sao Paulo just for the dining. But you’d be missing out on world-class museums, diverse and vibrant neighborhood tours, and crazy-good shopping.

Frogs and spiders and snakes, oh my! The Instituto Butantan, a biomedical research and zoological center founded in 1901, has all these creepy crawlies and more. The institute was instrumental in controlling scores of tropical diseases and now focuses on developing vaccines and researching venomous animals. Brazil's largest serpentarium is on-site, as is a convenient anti-venom clinic, just in case things get out of hand. In any event, the kiddies will get a kick out of handling the cool-blooded things, or at least peering at them through reinforced glass. Once you've had your fill of scales and rattles, take a stroll in the lovely landscaped gardens.

The 3 museums and surroundings are well maintained. I recommend to parents and teachers to schedule a 3 to 4 hour visit with the children. Has Food Truck on site. The highlight is the Museum of Microbiology and interaction with the public. The museum with live specimens (Herpeto fauna, officinas) is also legal. And the historical museum gives us a notion how our scientists and researchers at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries were great men and women who have established a point of excellence in world research in this field. Very educational for everyone and especially for the new generation. In addition to having areas with nature preserved Atlantic Forest and a football field for families to enjoy with children. The macacario is under renovation. I hope you reopen soon. The museum of scientist in the Museum of Microbiology gives credit to the illustrious researchers among which 3 Brazilians who contributed to the health of humanity. I recommend taking friends and foreign visitors to know our scientific history.
