Dinosaurs and penguins. What do they have in common? Here at Sabina Escola Parque do Conhecimento, they coexist to ignite curiosity.
Welcome to Sabina. It is more than just a science museum. It is a vibrant hub of knowledge and exploration in Santo Andr\u00e9. Inaugurated in 2007, Sabina has become a landmark. It provides an interactive and fun approach to science, arts, and technology.
Sabina was envisioned as a space to democratize access to scientific knowledge. The award-winning architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha designed its 24,000 square meter structure. It includes a main pavilion and the Johannes Kepler Planetarium.
Imagine stepping inside. The main pavilion spans 11,000 square meters. Here, hands-on exhibits bring scientific principles to life. The planetarium boasts state-of-the-art projection systems. These systems display almost 6,000 stars with realistic brightness and color.
Sabina is not just for show. It is deeply committed to education. The park serves as a crucial resource for academic studies. It is a leading center for informal education in the ABC Paulista region. Monitors are available. They are university students from various science and education fields. They guide visitors. They foster curiosity and learning.
One of Sabina’s most striking features is its diverse range of attractions. You can find a replica of a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. It measures twelve meters long. You can also find an animatronic Ceratosaurus. It moves and roars.
The simulated nave gives the sensation of flying over S\u00e3o Paulo. It ends with a simulated dive into the sea. Another simulator lets you experience natural phenomena. Hurricanes, volcanoes, lightning, and earthquakes all come to life.
Don’t miss the penguin exhibit. It has 23 Magellanic penguins from Patagonia. Some penguins were born right here. Others were rescued from the Brazilian coast. They receive care here before returning to the wild.
