Fun Things To Do in Argentina With Kids

Ahoy Crew!

Grab your boots and your appetite, because today we’re heading out for family fun across Argentina — a land of color, cows, dancing, and delicious food! Whether you’re exploring big cities or peaceful countryside, Argentina is full of adventures for kids and curious koalas alike.


🇦🇷 1. Explore the Colorful Streets of La Boca

La Boca is like a rainbow came to life! This Buenos Aires neighborhood is filled with brightly painted houses, street dancers, and local art everywhere you look. Kids love spotting all the different colors — and maybe even trying a little tango with a smile.

🕺 Bonus tip: Watch the tango dancers and clap along to the music!

🏞️ 2. Become a Gaucho for a Day

Out in the Pampas, Argentina’s grassy plains, you can visit a working ranch where kids can:

  • Ride horses (with helmets!)
  • Help round up the cows
  • Paint a barn (just like Captain PillowBelly did!)

It’s a day full of nature, animals, and wide open skies.

🍦 3. Taste Dulce de Leche and Argentine Ice Cream

Argentina has some of the yummiest ice cream in the world, and one flavor rules them all: dulce de leche — a sweet, creamy caramel made from milk. Almost every ice cream shop has it, and many families even eat it with breakfast!

Captain PillowBelly’s tip: Get two scoops. One for you, one for… you.


🌄 4. Ride a Cable Car in Salta or Hike in Patagonia

Argentina has epic nature — from the tall peaks of Patagonia to the red canyons in the north. You can:

  • Take a cable car ride up Cerro San Bernardo
  • Walk beside glaciers in El Calafate
  • Spot penguins along the coast in Puerto Madryn

Every region has something wild and wonderful to discover.


âš˝ 5. Cheer for Argentina in a Soccer Match

Argentinians are crazy about fútbol (that’s soccer)! Going to a match — or just watching one on a giant screen in a city square — is a total experience. Flags waving, drums beating, people singing — the energy is electric!

Even if you don’t know the rules, you’ll love the fun!


So, if you’re ever lucky enough to visit Argentina, bring your curiosity and your dancing paws. There’s a big, beautiful world waiting to be explored — and plenty of fun to be had.
