Republic of the Children Tour

Republic of the Children Tour

At 10:00 am, we will pick you up at your hotel in La Plata. From there we will travel down to the Republic of the Children (República de los Niños in Spanish), an educational park that was inaugurated in 1951.

Once inside, we'll begin a guided tour of this charming place. We'll explore the tiny streets and admire the architecture of the mini buildings. Did you know that they say that Walt Disney himself was inspired here for the creation of his own theme parks? 

A parliament, a courthouse, a church, a theatre, an airport... The Republic of the Children was built the Eva Perón Foundation with the aim of reproducing a city on a small scale so young children could learn about democracy. 

We will visit the three areas of the park: urban, rural and sports. The first has as its centre in the Plaza San Martín and houses the Government House, the Municipal Children's Bank and the Palace of Culture. In the latter, inspired by the Taj Mahal of India, you'll have the opportunity to visit the International Doll Museum.

And the highlight of the rural area is the farm, whose activities are centred on teaching about the local animal and plant life. And we can't miss the recreation and sports area, which has basketball courts, playground, and even an amphitheater.

After the tour of the Republic of the Children, we will take you back to your hotel in La Plata, where we will arrive at 12 midday.
