The Zoo of Sorocaba is little explored by city dwellers, who lose the opportunity to have a pleasant evening in a super family environment. Besides the wide choice of animals to visit, there are snack bars and lawns to make that pequinick with the family.

Good place to in family, 2 to 4 hours is enough to see all the animals, if necessary there are spots of drinking water through the park and a pic-nic area, and a restaurant inside the park, but not so good, outside has another options even better and cheaper.

This place is surprisingly well conserved. The zoo crew makes a really good job in keeping the place tidy (which is an exception for Brazilian public places). Very good for family trips and small children.

We took Gamba pups here after phoning, and they refused to take them, the pups subsequently died.
