The Museum of Tomorrow (Museu do Amanhã) is a science museum in Rio de Janeiro, designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 2015. Entry is by hourly time slot, so plan the journey around the hour printed on your ticket. The VLT tram is the simplest way in and stops a short walk from the entrance.
The catch for families with small children is food: nothing to eat or drink is allowed in the exhibition spaces or the auditorium. The café inside is open while the museum is, and the gardens around the building are the place for a snack or a picnic.
Inside there are ramps, lifts and changing tables, plus a limited number of wheelchairs to borrow. Tactile floors and models, universal signage and Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) interpretation in activities, weekends included, are part of the set-up, and the Education Program runs activities for people with disabilities and their families.
