Pro Tips

  1. 1.Book classes or workshops in advance online or by phone, especially if traveling from abroad, as space may be limited and language barriers are easier to navigate ahead of time.
  2. 2.Bring or pack old clothes for kids to wear over their outfits, as art activities can get messy. The studio may provide smocks, but it's safer to come prepared.
  3. 3.Consider hiring a local translator or using translation apps if you don't speak Portuguese, as staff may have limited English. The universal language of art helps bridge communication gaps.
  4. 4.Alphaville is a planned business district, so taxi or rideshare (Uber works well in São Paulo) is recommended for getting there from central São Paulo.
  5. 5.Ask about taking artwork home. If flying internationally, plan how to pack delicate creations or consider shipping them if the studio offers this service.

Best Time to Visit

Visit on weekday mornings (Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) when the studio is less crowded and staff can give more individual attention to your children. Saturdays are popular with local families, so expect a busier atmosphere.

What to Know

This is a budget-friendly venue ($) with no admission fee, though individual classes and workshops require payment. The studio is closed Sundays and Mondays, so plan accordingly. Alphaville is about 30-40 minutes from central São Paulo depending on traffic.

Seasonal Notes
