4. Visit these museums on water
Buenos Aires has two museum ships that can be visited and if they conquer adults, much more children. To go up and explore the objects, compartments and corridors of the Sarmiento Frigate Museum Ship or the Uruguay Corvette Museum Ship is to feel like a sailor and a captain for a while.
Going up, down, touching and feeling transported to another era sailing the sea is a great experience that any child would like to have. If you are looking for different plans and activities for winter vacations with children, add these museum ships to your agenda. They are moored together, so you can visit both ships on the same day.
