Ibirapuera to hostfree water park during Carnival 2026
The goal of the activation is to offer free and accessible fun to revelers. The highlight is the water slides of various sizes and inclines, perfect for those who enjoy a dose of adrenaline. In addition, there are slides and showers scattered throughout a large outdoor area, transforming Ibirapuera into a temporary “mini water park.”
The activation promises to be totally “Instagrammable,” with settings designed especially for São Paulo’s Carnival. Like other initiatives by the brand, the experience is free and open to those over 18 upon presentation of original photo ID. Access is subject to the maximum capacity of the space, so be aware that there may be lines.
The “mini water park” is located near the Obelisk and gate 10 of Ibirapuera Park. You can enjoy it on February 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, and 22, always from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
