Things to see and do with kids in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires Kids Attractions
For many children travelling in Buenos Aires, the chaos and hum
and drum of the city can be quite intimidating, but look just a
little further and you'll find an attraction tucked away in almost
every corner and in just about every barrio
(neighbourhood).
Buenos Aires is a great city to explore by foot, but for the more
active, it is also extremely bicycle-friendly. Rent a bike and
pedal your way round the leafy suburbs and side streets stopping
off for the occasional attraction. Take the kids to the Nueve de
Julio Avenue, claimed to be the widest avenue in the world, and
admire the 220-foot-tall (67metre) obelisk in the centre, marking
the heart of Buenos Aires. Or for a slightly more cultural
experience, take a stroll in Recoleta with the children past the
Floralis Genérica, a working metal sculpture of a flower
that opens and closes with the sun - the kids will be in awe!
For those days when the sun isn't shining, head to one of the many
indoor playgrounds or museums dotted around the city, such as the
Museo de Los Ninos, or even the Galileo Galilei Planetarium where
children will have a great time stargazing and learning about the
solar system.
