This time, it’s not about discovering amazing places—though we have those too—but about saving the day when you need to take the little ones somewhere where they can run around, keep your kids entertained for a while, if possible, without a time limit and without breaking the bank. What comes to mind? A ball pit. There are plenty of them, mainly in fast-food restaurants, but those are actually the perfect ones. There aren’t many places with ball pits in Buenos Aires, but it’s best to know where to find them.
Ball Pits in Buenos Aires: 4 Perfect Spots That Make for a Great Outing with Kids
To start, let’s mention the ball pit at the Burger King location on Ayacucho Street and Córdoba Avenue. This is one of the best free ball pits in Buenos Aires because it’s on the first floor of the restaurant; there are few tables, which makes it a very private and quiet ball pit for parents.
It’s not a huge ball pit, so it’s perfect for taking young children. Plus, since it’s right next to the tables, you can clearly see where your kids are playing. And the view of the street is also a great distraction for the grown-ups!
Not too far from there, if you’re closer to the Congreso area or Plaza Once, there’s the McDonald’s on Uriburu Street and Rivadavia Avenue. If you’ve been browsing the markets in Once looking for bargains, or you’re just passing through and want to stop with the kids to grab a bite and give yourself a little free time, that’s great. This location also has a ball pit on the first floor.
Depending on where you sit at the table, the view of the ball pit isn’t great, but one positive is that it has two entrances, and you can see both clearly at all times. You won’t lose sight of a single kid.
Are you looking for ball pits in Buenos Aires as a birthday option? There’s a McDonald’s on Córdoba Avenue near Callao where they host birthday parties, and it’s usually not too crowded on weekends. Just a few meters from the D subway line, it’s a good option, and it’s also close to an area with parks, in case the fun at these ball pits isn’t enough.
If you’re in the province, there’s a fairly large ball pit at the McDonald’s location at San Martin 400, in Villa Lynch. It’s perfect for kids of all ages, and since it’s very spacious, there’s room for everyone to run around without bumping into each other, so you can relax completely.
Don’t forget that there are also many trampoline parkswith ball pits and lots of fun options.
