Tecnópolis

For those ready to explore Tecnópolis, a little planning goes a long way. Crowds blossom during holidays and weekends, making weekdays, especially in spring or autumn, the sweet spot for relaxed exploration. Located on the edge of Buenos Aires’ Villa Martelli neighborhood, the site is accessible yet large enough to soak up busy events without feeling overwhelmed. Admission is usually free, which brings families and tour groups by the busload, but the open layout keeps things moving. Prepare for walking, smiles, and the occasional wait for popular exhibits.

• Best time to visit: Spring (September–November), autumn (March–May), or weekday afternoons
• How to get there: Subway Line B to Juan Manuel de Rosas, bus lines (e.g., 67, 110, 112), or by car with parking on-site
• Accessibility: Excellent for families with strollers, wheelchairs, and people of all ages; some outdoor paths are uneven
• Average visit duration: 3–5 hours, easily stretched to a full day for enthusiasts
