Esta é a segunda vez que visito o orquidário, mas esta não é uma boa época, pois não tinha orquidea nenhuma, dai fica frustante.Estive em outra época e com exposição de orquidea e foi mais agradaveltem uma boa quantidade de arvores, alguns animais. Para criança é um otimo local
e visited in Dec (2013) when the orchids are not at their best but the "gardens" (more "rainforest" than "gardens" in a European sense) are well worth visiting in their own right. There are animals everywhere - tortoises and small animals resembling a large hamster strolling around, peacocks - exotic fish in ponds, birds everywhere - an aquarium etc. etc. A fascinating place.
Muito verde, otimo para passeio, muita sombra, mas nao esqueça o repelente. Me parece mais um zoo do que um orquidario, gostei muito e está bem cuidado. Preço justo.
We were very dissapointed in the gardens. It was nice to have an oasis in the middle of the city, but went there especially to see orchids. We have more orchids at the grocery store in our town than we saw there. There are a few caged animals and some large rodents walking around.
We visited the orchidarium mid-day which is free if you are over 60. We enjoyed the lovely plants and the small zoo. This small "island" in the middle of the city was filled with excited school children, my favorite part. Few orchids were in bloom, but they are everywhere in the park. The zoo is very small with a large cage of parrots and a few macaws. It was a nice escape from the city.
O Orquidário Municipal da cidade de Santos é sem sombra de duvida um lugar muito legal para curtir com a família e amigos, com muita natureza ao ar livre e dispõe ainda de várias espécies de animais, répteis, aves, anfíbios, que vão nos deslumbrar com seu encanto, um grande lago onde podem ser vistas várias aves e peixes, passeio imperdível, confira vale a pena.
This was a beautiful garden with a variety of plants and animals to see but where were the orchids? We saw a total of 5 orchid plants in bloom. I was disappointed because I went to see the orchids not the oversized rodents running around. It is worth the trip if you go at the right time of year.
O que ainda vale a pena são as cotias soltas pelo parque, pois de orquídeas pouco se vê. Ambiente limpo, porém percebe-se que dá última reforma muitas coisas ficaram desativas e o lago totalmente verde e sem graça. Ingresso caro para o que se tem para ver.
During our visit to this small garden and mini-zoo we were disappointed that the orchids were not blooming (February 2015) and several of the animal enclosures were closed or absent an animal. The elevated walk through tropical forest was closed for reason unknown. Parking is okay in the area and the entrance fee is inexpensive but I would recommend this garden only if you have 30 minutes to kill. A few animals were in open enclosures such as tortoises, an otter, grey brocket deer, and a peacock. A few birds and primates were in their cages but inactive due to the heat (95 F degrees). If you only have one day in Santos, spend your time visiting other sites.
O orquidário é muito bem cuidado, possui alguns animais silvestres, muitos passáros e vegetação muito bem cuidada, árvores gigantes vale muito a pena conhecer.
