The Botanical Garden of São Paulo (Portuguese: Jardim Botânico de São Paulo) is a botanical garden in São Paulo, Brazil. The park spans a 164.45 hectare area in the Fontes do Ipiranga State Park, at the district of Água Funda, in São Paulo's South zone, next to São Paulo Zoo. It houses the state's Botanical Institute (Instituto de Botânica). It was founded, in its current location, in 1928, by the botanist Frederico Carlos Hoehne.
Since 1893, the São Paulo state government began expropriations in order to preserve the sources of the Ipiranga River and the surrounding Atlantic Forest area. The year 1917 marks the founding of the State Park (Parque do Estado); sources were used until 1928 to supply water to the district of Ipiranga. The state park changed its name in 1969 and became the Parque Estadual Fontes do Ipiranga.

This park is beautiful. You will find so many couples and even couples that just got married taking their pictures in there. I have been to Rio's botanical garden and I can tell you, the botanical garden in Sao Paulo is way more beautiful than Rio's one. I loved it and is not expensive at all (3 US Dollars or 10 reais per person) the only bad thing is it is far from downtown but you can get bus and subway to get there is not complicated just be aware where you have to get off the next bust stop is too far from the entrance (own experience). I highly recommend you to go. It worth it each second in there lol...

Beautiful place. I went in the rain and still loved it. The have a small café and are conveniently located close to a bus stop.

Beautiful and peaceful place, it's good for pic nic, photos and sports. Easy access with public transport or parking lot.

Gorgeous open park with incredible views and vegetation. Some of the signs and information is a little worn down, but in a way that just adds to the charm of it all.

Beautiful place, very good for kids, picnic, those who just want to relax on the grass and read a book, do yoga... I've been going there for a while now. Love to get there just before lunch time, having lunch on their kilo buffet (very good by the way) and spending the afternoon enjoying the sun.

Bit disappointing...orchid house closed....museum house closed....so could only walk around gardens. Which in all honesty could do with clean up of algae in ponds and tidy up of gardens.

Entrance fee is R$ 10 per adult. Closed at 5PM. Very peaceful place to walk and take a rest. You can bring snacks to enjoy picnic here. Here is good to visit Sao Paulo zoo together.

Very beautiful place to go and visit. Very few interactions or placards describing the garden but a beautiful spot to bring family for a quiet day at a park.

Not a great botanical garden, but a really enjoyable natural park. Peaceful and beautiful.

Beautiful and organized. The price is too much cheap. The right place to make a picnic or enjoy with your family.

Bom mas muito mal cuidado. Chega a dar dó das estufas. O dinheiro pago na entrada deveria ser revertido em melhorias. O restaurante tem ótimas opções para almoço.
