When winter holidays arrive, finding a destination that combines entertainment for the little ones with options for the whole family can seem like a challenge. Mar del Plata brings together that mix with an agenda that includes outdoor activities, adventure experiences, cultural outings and shows to enjoy throughout the recess.
In addition to its classic coastal landscapes, the city adds new options each season for those looking to break away from routine and live different experiences, whether traveling for several days or planning a quick getaway.
Adrenaline lovers will find various options to test balance, dexterity and teamwork.
One of them is Aerópolis, the first aerial park in Mar del Plata. Located in a pine forest in the southern area, it features 39 suspended bridges spread across three circuits of varying difficulty, along with a climbing wall, rappelling, free fall and zip lines.
For those who prefer indoor activities, Mr. Fly offers two distinct spaces: a trampoline park with more than 1,400 square meters of interconnected trampolines and a park of inflatables designed for jumping, climbing and sharing a day of family fun.
The offering is completed with escape rooms and laser experiences, where ingenuity, strategy and teamwork take center stage.
Touring the city on two wheels
A bicycle can also become the best way to get to know Mar del Plata. The routes allow you to combine physical activity with some of the city’s most beautiful scenery, from the traditional coastal circuit to bike paths that connect different neighborhoods and green spaces.
Those not traveling with their own bike can rent one at various points around the city and discover the corners of Mar del Plata at their own pace.
A different view of the city from the sea
Another family-friendly experience are the maritime excursions that depart from Mar del Plata’s port.
For a little over an hour of navigation, you can gaze at the city from the water and enjoy a different perspective of the coastline—a postcard that often becomes one of the most beautiful memories of the trip.
A calendar full of activities for the winter holidays
All of this recreational offering is complemented by a schedule specially designed for the winter recess.
There will be children’s shows, theater, music, fairs and cultural proposals for all ages, among them Aventura en Mar del Plata, the Feria del Libro Infantil y Juvenil, A Desaburrir el Invierno, Festíteres 2026, Experiencia Margarita, Circo en Plaza del Agua, the Yequita Festival and various shows for kids.
The schedule also includes options for youth and adults, such as the Feria de las Colectividades, Mar del Plata Coffee Cup, the Encuentro Vermutero Marplatense, the Fiesta Bresh, recitals, Candlelight concerts, Toy Con, the El Cuarto Soda tribute and the classic ballet Swan Lake, among many other activities.
