General Safety in Sao Paulo & Day Trip Ideas

I'll be going down to GRU twice, during the first two weeks of June. Both trips are with twelve-hours stays, and I used some points to book a room at the airport Marriott, so I can dump my bags, rest, etc.

Somebody suggested that I visit the Sao Paulo zoo. Does anybody have any other recommendations for places to visit?

As far as general safety, any recommendations of places that I should not visit? Are most of the downtown areas "safe" to visit?

Transit wise, how much do cabs usually cost for trips from the airport to the city? Google Maps is telling me that a ride should take about 25 minutes from the Marriott to the Zoo...

Thanks
