Combo: São Paulo Zoo + Simba Safari + Jardim Botânico Tickets

Your experience

Cover three of São Paulo's top wildlife and nature attractions, all within the same Atlantic Forest complex in Água Funda.

Getting started

All three attractions sit inside the Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga, each with its own entrance and ticket scan point. Present your mobile voucher with a valid photo ID at each gate. Security checks are carried out on arrival. Trucks at Simba Safari depart once full.

São Paulo Zoo
