botanical gardens

Porto Alegre is well renowned for it's trees. The Jardim Botânico is however the place to go to see a fantastic collection of trees and shrubs from RS and beyond. Opened in 1958 many of the trees are beginning to reach maturity and offer a shaded walk away from the heat of the city. The gardens are a ten minute ride by taxi and there is a very small entry fee. Shortcomings are that some of the paths are not suitable for the disabled and the associated Natural History museum, though informative has very static displays in cases which are beginning to look rather tired. Otherwise well worth a visit.

Beautiful Botanical Garden right in the middle of Porto Alegre city. Great attraction for nature lovers, couples in-love and families with kids and teens. Worth the visit!!

The Botanical Gardens are a wonderful place to spend a day. I was there on a particularly nice day which greatly enhanced the enjoyment of my time there. It was one of the nicest places of its type I have ever visited.I walked from my hotel and found the pedestrian entrance (same as vehicle entrance) on Av. Sen. Tarso Dutra. After paying the nominal $5 Rs entry fee, I entered the park. The gorgeous day facilitated a wonderful time. It was understandably a bit busy that day but it took nothing away from the experience. The park itself provided several walking paths for strolls through a wonderful array of vegetation. There were sections for various types of trees and plants and several were labeled. There was also a Natural History Museum that contained some fun displays though it was mostly geared toward kids. I spent most of my time strolling around the various paths with occasional breaks to sit and relax.Overall, this is a great place to spend a day outdoors. There is wonderful greenery, good photo opportunities and plenty of fresh air.

I've missed the account of how many times I went to the Botanical gardens of Porto Alegre. It's clean, safe, relaxed, the perfect spot for a picnic in Porto Alegre. I'm always amazed of the huge numbers of Porto Alegrenses who have never been there, You're missing something, folks!

Very relaxing place in the middle of the town, pleasantly silent. You can take a nice nature walk, rest by the lake, and take a look at the natural sciences museum. Save a sunny morning or afternoon for your visit, it is really worth it, and the entrance fee is negligible.

If you want to find a little piece of nature in the middle of the city this is a great place to go to. There is no playground for children, but there is still plenty to explore and find for kids of most ages. There is a pond with loads of turtles, a small snake display and a small museum.The main attraction of this park is the widespread area with all the plants. The top parts can get a bit of an influx of people on nice weekends, but if you are willing to walk a bit it's very easy to find corners with no, or almost no people there.My kids enjoyed playing explorers and finding new / remote corners of this park some of which have been left to completely overgrow which for them just made it more attractive.

Amazing place to take a rest on weekends. Very cheap (R$2 / person) with parking. There are few attractions to see, but the best option is go there to take a rest, and spend a morming or afternoon there. Nice with kids as well.

Jardim Botânico de Porto Alegre, is a very traditional place in the city, very quite and with beautiful and pleasantable spots to sit and take a picnic, avoid weekends. In my opinion it´s better than the ugly Jardin des Plantes de Paris.

Sou amante da fotografia, e quando quero tirar umas fotos legais e ficar em contato com a natureza, vou ao JB. Como é cobrado R$ 5,00 para entrar, seleciona um pouco e não tem aglomeração de pessoas, o que na minha opinião, é excelente. O lugar é bem cuidado, com várias espécies de árvores, flores e plantas. Tem dois lagos com cágados e gansos, estacionamento amplo, muita sombra pra descansar, tomar um chimarrão ou fazer um piquenique. É bom visitar com tempo bom pra caminhar e conhecer tudo. Recomendo a visita.

o jardim botânico cobra uma taxa simbólica para entrada, acaba sendo mais seguro o seu passeio, pois filtra um pouco o pessoal que circula no local. Tem lanchonete, museu, além é claro de um espaço grande de área verde onde é possível fazer um piquenique com tranquilidade apreciando a natureza.

Uma boa oportunidade de dar uma caminhada ao ar livre, em meio as árvores, passeios pelos lagos com tartarugas e carpas. Na casa das cobras, oportunidade de ver espécies perigosas de perto, em total segurança

bastante espaço para caminhar e ver especies de arvores nativas e outras, lago com um casal de cisnes e bom local para arejar a cabeça e descansar do barulho da cidade. conta apenas com um bar que não tem muitas opções de lanche.

É um opção para quem gosta de natureza. Como outros JB o de POA oferece um lugar tranquilo para caminhar e conversar sem o agito da cidade e sentindo a natureza ao redor.

Achei a iluminação um pouco ruim a noite. Mas é uma boa opção para passeio. Pra quem não conhece recomendo não ir sozinho.
