This 2026 brings a new Holy Week and a long weekend in Buenos Aires. If you have kids, that means more time to enjoy them, but also more activities to keep them entertained. From April 2 to 5, Buenos Aires will be filled with two things: Easter eggs and activities specially prepared for them. Here’s a list of activities to help you make the most of Holy Week with kids—without breaking the bank .
1. Stop by the Easter Park
Holy Week 2026 is here, and if you want to enjoy the outdoors and share a fun outing with the kids, don’t miss the Easter Park, which opens its doors on April 2 at Plaza Seeber, right in the heart of Palermo. This square in Buenos Aires becomes an ideal spot during Holy Week for playing, learning, and having fun. Each day will feature creative workshops for children, fun activities, and live music performances.
Highlights include cold porcelain and stencil workshops, as well as shows featuring performers dedicated to children. Once again, the venue is Plaza Seeber, located very close to the Rosedal and the Bosques de Palermo—the same location as last year. A Holy Week with kids wouldn’t be complete without a visit to this park.
📍4096 Av. del Libertador. From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Free admission.
2. Take them to jump nonstop
If you want the kids to climb high and have a blast, adventure parks are an excellent option. Now, if you prefer something more bouncy, trampoline parks are ideal for burning off energy and having a blast. Many of them also have areas adapted for children who use wheelchairs.
3. Nature Library
The Nature Library is the children’s library at the Carlos Thays Botanical Garden in Buenos Aires.
Admission is free, as is access to the park, and while the library is a beautiful place to pick up any book and stay to read, you can also head out to the park and read under the trees. There are plenty of indoor Holy Week activities to choose from, but nothing beats spending Holy Week with kids outdoors and surrounded by nature—even right in the heart of Buenos Aires.
Did you know that you can also visit the main greenhouse at the Botanical Garden? It’s beautiful and loved by kids and adults alike.
Carlos Thays Botanical Garden 📍 Av. Santa Fe 3951, Palermo
📅 Open Saturdays and Sundays from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM
4. Head to the free playgrounds
Malaver Square in Villa Ortuzar is a beautiful spot to spend an Easter afternoon with kids and enjoy its slides and obstacle course made of colorful cubes. Malaver Square also features themed play structures: a school bus ,giant pencils, and erasers.
At the Plaza del Paseo de las Américas in Belgrano, you’ll find two playgrounds. In one of the playgrounds, there’s a climbing castle where kids can climb wherever they like, a slide, and plenty of games and challenges. In the second playground, the theme is a jungle, and it also has a skate park.

5. In case it rains, Kids Club
Kids Club is an indoor play center for children in the Balvanera neighborhood, ideal for kids under 8 years old. Here you’ll find a maze with a zip line, spaces for dressing up and role-playing ( kitchen, supermarket), as well as a race track, lots of dolls and animal and dinosaur toys , and much more. There is an admission fee that allows children to play freely for two hours, and each adult accompanying a child gets in for free.
Kids Club is designed so that parents and accompanying adults can also enjoy themselves from the café tables, sipping a drink and eating something delicious. Important note: the café offers gluten-free and kosher options .
Kids Club 📍 672 Pueyrredón Avenue
📅 Open from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
6. Treasure hunts and Easter parades at these three squares
Staying in Buenos Aires for Holy Week is no longer just a consolation, but a fantastic plan. The city debunks the myth of emptiness with an event that brings together three squares over three days: workshops, games, treasure hunts, and live shows. Street performers and music prove that the best family outing can be right around the corner—and best of all, with free admission. The squares are:
Friday, April 3, at Plaza Irlanda (Donato Álvarez and Neuquén), from 3 to 7 p.m.
On Saturday, April 4, it’s Plaza Arenales’ turn (Mercedes and Pareja, Villa Devoto)
The event series ends on Sunday, April 5, at Plaza Mafalda (Conde and Santos Dumont),
