Parque De La Costa, Buenos Aires' beloved amusement park, delivers a classic day of thrills and family fun along the Río de la Plata. With its leafy riverside setting, this park blends nostalgic charm with modern rides, making it a top choice for visitors seeking a break from the city's cultural intensity. The park's location in the Tigre district offers a bonus: you can combine roller coasters with a scenic delta boat trip.
Highlights & What to See
- Montaña Rusa (Roller Coaster) – The park's signature wooden coaster offers a classic, rattling ride with views over the river.
- Desafío Extremo – A free-fall tower that gives you a stomach-dropping plunge and panoramic vistas of the delta.
- Río Misterioso – A log flume that provides splashy fun and cools you off on hot afternoons.
- Granja Interactiva – A petting zoo and farm area perfect for younger children, with hands-on animal encounters.
- Espectáculos en vivo – Live shows ranging from circus acts to musical performances, staged throughout the day.
- Paseo del Rosedal – A tranquil rose garden within the park, ideal for a peaceful stroll between rides.
Suggested Time to Spend
Plan for a full day to experience Parque De La Costa thoroughly. Arrive when gates open (around 10am) to beat queues for the most popular rides. By lunchtime, you'll have tackled the major attractions, leaving the afternoon for gentler rides, shows, and a riverside picnic. If you're combining with a Tigre delta tour, start early with the boat and visit the park from mid-afternoon onward – it stays open until 7pm or later in summer.
