Language Lessons
Trouble convincing your kids to speak Spanish? Take the tots to Parque de la Costa, a fun zone where all entertainment (including circus acts) is explained in the native tongue. Situated on the Rio de la Plata less than an hour from Buenos Aires proper, South America’s largest amusement park even has its own version of Peter Pan’s Neverland. This and other perks — such as catamaran sails, wild roller coasters, light shows, a petting zoo, and the popular Legends of Jurupira adventure ride — don’t get lost in translation, even if speaking Spanish is the last thing on your little one’s mind.

You Tou-Can
Pink flamingos, furry chinchillas, and giant toco toucans all gather at the 85-acre Bioparque Temiken, a 30-minute drive outside the city. This zoo-aquarium combo is the hot spot for Argentine wildlife (5,000 animals, 400 species), housed in recreated natural habitats. Patagonia curious? Bioparque Temiken features interactive exhibits about South America’s southernmost region. Note: Youngsters too small to keep up with the bigger kids can make use of a playground for toddlers on the premises.

Gooooooooooal!
If life is like a box of chocolates, then here’s an assortment that will leave you and your brood exhilarated. La Bombonera soccer stadium — literally, “the chocolate box” — is named for its rectangular shape. The real treat is inside, where futbol fanatics go crazy for the hometown Boca Juniors. There’s room for 60,000, so be ready to bump elbows — but don’t be intimidated. Instead, arrange a game-day visit with the kids that includes hotel pick-up and drop-off.
