An entertaining insight into Brazilian culture as well as the sport. Wear athletic shoes so that you can attempt the virtual penalty kick.

This is a good museum to go with kids, it has interactive activities. It might be too long if you have an adult that wants to check all the details, but I just left the adult and took the kids to the interactive area when they got tired.

It´s located inside the Pacaembu Soccer Stadium. You can visit the soccer pich and enjoy one of the most famous pichs in Brazil. Inside the museum, you got a lot of memorabilia and history. You can even play a little in one sort of interactive soccer game.
