I adore this park! It's perfect!! It had enough trees so you…read morecan sit in the shadows and enjoy it in every hour of the day. Normally I like to come here little bit before noon to walk around, it is less full around this time of day. Also recommended is in the afternoon around, around 4 or 5, to drink coffee or have ice cream in the sunny days. Keep in mind they have street fair in the weekends that has fruits, vegetables and hand crafts, you can find amazing things there! Last, if you have a dog, it's perfect! They have dog park on the corner, dogs play with each other every times of day.

Location: It is a relatively safe location in the daytime, I probably would not be alone in the…read morenighttime. Not necessarily because I think it is unsafe, but rather because I am not a local and this somewhat away from the touristy areas. But I have been here twice and have enjoyed my time here. The Park: The park is great. It is very spacious, one can certainly find a good place to go and play soccer, or drink mates, or read a book. Christmas Day and New Years Day Celebration: I came here for both Christmas Day and New Year's Day. There is usually a massive party here with thousands of people gathering. Many people park their vehicles inside the park and play their music loudly, have some drinks, have good conversations, play sports, etc. It is a pretty good vibe. Many people know each other. Many go in groups of 15 or more and gather here, like a tradition, it seems. I have made many friends here who greeted even though I am not a local. The festivities start around 3am and end around 10am. I do recommend coming to this festival only if you know people or are a local. It can get a bit out of control, but overall great vibes with great people. Upshot: If you have friends or a big group and they know the area, I recommend this park for the big festivals and hang out. Otherwise it is a good daytime park for you to enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ubicación: es un lugar relativamente seguro durante el día, probablemente no estaría solo durante la noche. No necesariamente porque creo que no es seguro, sino porque no soy local y estoy un poco alejado de las zonas turísticas. Pero he estado aquí dos veces y he disfrutado mi tiempo aquí. El parque: el parque es genial. Es muy espacioso, ciertamente se puede encontrar un buen lugar para ir a jugar fútbol, ​​beber amigos o leer un libro. Celebración del día de Navidad y Año Nuevo: Vine aquí tanto para el día de Navidad como para el día de Año Nuevo. Usualmente hay una fiesta masiva aquí con miles de personas reunidas. Muchas personas estacionan sus vehículos dentro del parque y escuchan su música en voz alta, toman algunas bebidas, tienen buenas conversaciones, practican deportes, etc. Es un ambiente bastante bueno. Mucha gente se conoce. Muchos van en grupos de 15 o más y se reúnen aquí, como una tradición, parece. He hecho muchos amigos aquí que saludaron a pesar de que no soy local. Las festividades comienzan alrededor de las 3 a.m. y terminan alrededor de las 10 a.m. Recomiendo venir a este festival solo si conoces personas o eres local. Puede estar un poco fuera de control, pero en general, una gran vibra con grandes personas. Resultado: si tienes amigos o un grupo grande y conocen la zona, recomiendo este parque para los grandes festivales y pasar el rato. De lo contrario, es un buen parque durante el día para disfrutar.

The irony of visiting a botanical garden in Buenos Aires - possibly the greenest city I've ever…read morebeen in - was not lost on me. It most certainly is not a must-do experience as, if you walk there from wherever, you're likely to pass so many expansive, grassy, tree-filled parks that you'll question why you're not just stopping now. I'm actually a much bigger fan of green parks than botanic gardens (even free ones like this) as I generally care little about plant species or origins. But I came here and found it to be a nice experience. Ample benches in the shade of trees provide a nice spot to hang out and many were doing just that. I spotted a couple sitting on a bench reading actual paperback books and thought "my tribe" before I noticed that I was feeling things bite me ever so often as I strolled through. So I'm probably not hanging out here for long. There were several places that should have held water (ponds, I guess) but they were, sorrowfully, dry on this visit. I do like a water feature. There's also statues and greenhouses (not open to visitors). There's absolutely no reason to head here but if you do, it's a nice place to stroll through on your way to, perhaps, areas with more grass and fewer insects.

Interesting free garden. There are lots of different plant varieties and specimens to view. The…read moreonly thing that holds this attraction back from a 5 star experience, is the neglect that some areas of the garden are experiencing. I'd say about 80% of the garden is well-maintained, but there are some areas of overgrowth that need some attention. In addition to the plants and trees, there's some beautiful sculptures and seating areas to admire all the natural beauty. Also, you get a real sense of how Argentinians spend their free time. You'd be hard pressed not to find the locals socializing and admiring the natural beauty without their ubiquitous Mate in hand. There are also several hauntingly beautiful glass greenhouses on site dating to the Belle Epoch era. It's fun to get a close up look and not only see into the greenhouses themselves, but take in all the architectural details that make these buildings so unique. Overall a Jardín Botánico is a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours, it just needs more upkeep. There are free restroom facilities as well, so you really can enjoy at your own pace.
