Family Tour

This time you decided to take your children to Buenos Aires next holidays and obviously you want to make sure that you will be able to do some activities with them so that they do not get bored. Visiting regular museums and city-touring are not that interesting activities for children (especially if they are under 10 years old) so in order to provide you with some information about it, I will give you some advice regarding taking your kids out.

Firstly, they will be very tired because of the journey, so try to eat and rest in the hotel before going out. If you have not booked any room yet, you should better choose a hotel which is not located downtown but in the suburbs, if I were you I would stay in a hotel in Palermo city where there are most places to go out with your kids, such as the Zoo (located in Sarmiento and Las Heras Avenues)-opened Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 6 pm. This is a really excellent place not only for kids to enjoy and learn but also for your savings since kids under 12 years old have got FREE PASS to enter, the general passport is $25 and the saving passport (includes Boat, Aquarium and reptile) is $40. Secondly, You can also take them to the Japanese Garden (Figueroa Alcorta and Caseres Avenues in Palermo) which is also a cheap activity. Moreover there are many squares where you can go for free and your kids are going to enjoy that much, some of them are located in Libertador and Olleros Av., Costa Rica and Medrano, Las Heras and Coronel Diaz Av., most of these squares have got also a carousel (really cheap). Besides, there is a huge mall in Palermo -called Alto Palermo Shopping- to visit too.

If you want your children to have fun while they learn importan things, try going to The Science Musem ($5 situated in Gallardo Street 490-opened from 2pm-7pm), The "Forbbiden not touching" museum in Recoleta ($25 Junin 1930) or the Children Museum (located in Abasto Shopping Mall).

Finally in case you have rented a car, you have to go to the following places (they are amazing for both parents and children):

Escobar district. Temaiken is the biggest Biopark in Southamerica. http://www.temaiken.com.ar
