Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Tickets are sold on the website and have time to enter. When I went the ticket was $120.00. I'm sure it's not all worth it. We bought for 14:30 in the afternoon and arrived at this time, it was very cold and we had to face a queue that folded the neighborhood, with small child and very cold we stayed outside until the queue was decreasing. When we enter we encounter a tight hallway gives a claustrophobic feeling because there are tight hallways and a lot of people in the same space. Note: We have been to the Rio de Janeiro aquarium and it is much more comfortable.
In short, it is not worth the price, very expensive and uncomfortable. For those who went with baby cart passed perrengue because they could not get out of the right place. Only more at the end of the tour that people will stop at dining stores and restaurants and the corridors become more transitable.

Summary: Company refuses to accept half student entry.
I am a student and the Aquarium of São Paulo refused to accept my student identification and to grant 50% reduction in entrance payment, in disobedience to LEI No 12.933, OF 26 DECEMBER DE 2013, and obliging me to pay the full entrance price.
SP Aquarium does not accept half-entry payment by means of student identification document, student portfolio.
The SP Aquarium, by unilateral imposition of this provider, does not accept half student entry.
SP Aquarium is a leisure and entertainment attraction, where people see fish and other animals, in an entertaining, leisure, educational and scientific character.
On 17/11/2024, I went to SP Aquarium, but for admission payment my student identification was refused, and they refused to grant 50% reduction for admission to student, violating the LEI No. 12.933, DE 26 DE DECEMBRE DE 2013.
I was embarrassed and had to pay the full price of the entrance, general price to all people, of R$ 120,00.
I believe that, more than consumer abuse, there was immediate breach of the law, the LEI No. 12.933, OF 26 DECEMBER 2013.

We visited on a Sunday early. It opens at 9:00 and we arrive at 9:30.
The entrance was quite quiet.
We really like it.
Enormous diversity of fish and animals as well.
I found it very interesting to have some animals that do not have in the zoo, like kangaroo, coala..
The main star is the polar bear hehehehe wonderfulooooo!!!
I think a little information is missing in front of the animals. At some points I saw guides with other classes, so I took the opportunity to listen to their explanations. But if there were boards, it would be wonderful!
Important point: things are GOOD CARAS la inside. For example: water of 500ml for R$10,00.
Another point: mermaid and dinosaur ride are paid apart. Check if it's worth it, pq are pretty quick!!!
But overall we really liked the tour and would be a place we would recommend and that we would definitely come back!
It is a very interesting tour for rainy days too, because the place is all covered!
For those who are touring the neighborhood, take advantage of the Ipiranga Museum, Museum of Zoology and SESC Ipiranga (You can eat in the latter). These are places where it is possible to go to the aquarium (if you are not with a small child).
It is a quiet neighborhood and it is possible to park by the streets in the intermediates (the parking of the aquarium is R$50,00).

Good quantity of freshwater and saltwater fish. It lacks a large central tank to house sharks and rays. Guaranteed fun for children. The separate shows could last longer for the price charged. (mermaids and dinosaurs)

I really liked the diversity of animals, a very air-conditioned place, animals never seen before in any zoo, but I found it very crowded, with several school classes. Expensive water, I paid 10 reais for a bottle. The exit is in a remote place, it takes a few meters to get back to the entrance. Price on Monday is 90 reais. The bears are the main attraction, even when sleeping.

A well-planned environment, with the visit following an itinerary that separates the animals by region. There are two food courts along the route, one in the middle and one at the end, with toilets. They even offer non-aquatic animals, such as kangaroos, curds, lemurs, meerkats, flying foxes, and at the end, polar bears. The tank with sharks, moray eels, stingrays, groupers, all huge fish, has two sections and is connected by the ceiling, where we can see these huge fish passing from one side to the other, when we look up. On this visit, I was unable to see the penguins in the water. Likewise, polar bears. This would make the visit more spectacular. The visit costs R$120, parking R$50 and water (500ml) R$10.

The aquarium presents visitors with various animals, including those that are not aquatic as the name of the place suggests, so it is a very positive point. There is a division of countries, in which various animals from said countries/continent are presented. Be careful as there are some paths that can be confusing, especially after the first part where it ends in a diner. Dedicate two hours there to see it in peace. . Another negative point was the Jurassic attraction, which is a cart that lasts a few minutes and is not worth the price charged. The tip is: buy your ticket online in advance, because, despite it being the same price on site, they don't accept credit cards there, only cash, PIX or debit, which I found to be a negative point.

I've been to the aquarium on another occasion, in 2019. Since then, nothing has changed, just the prices and the quality of the service. They are more concerned with the sale of merchandise within the attraction than with the well-being of customers. The prices were very high, starting with the entrance and parking, but the worst part was paying R$ 45.00 more, for 3 (three) tickets to the Jurassic Aquarium. They SHOULD warn you that this is a type of toy with a car for young children. My daughter is 14, my son is 16 and I ended up going along, thinking it would be something really interesting. It is not at all. An absolutely boring toy, with no finishing of the pieces, with quality far below expectations, in short, they only think about selling and selling. It's not Disney, they don't have a thousandth of the quality of the best parks in the world and they charge a lot for what they offer. Here's a tip.

In the middle of the route there is a paid attraction called Jurassic World, it lasts about 1 and a half minutes. These are dinos that move accompanied by a sound effect. My 4 year old daughter came out super scared, she wanted to leave the aquarium. The ticket office staff did not give any information beforehand. They should include an age range indication. What made it even better for her was the presentation of the mermaids.

Fantastic place to walk with children, most of the route is covered, so it's an attraction for any weather. The team is very well prepared for information, there is a place for meals.
The space when you arrive you think it's small, but when you enter...it's huge inside and it doesn't just have aquatic animals, there are several other animals
