Despite the fog, many families enjoyed the second Saturday of the winter holidays walking down Corrientes Avenue between Callao and Leandro Alem to participate in different recreational and cultural activities.
In addition to the traditional theaters that have a billboard wide range of children’s showsstreet artists and street vendors also braved the weather to add their proposals to the families that during the afternoon concentrated on that Buenos Aires walk.
Despite the fog, numerous families toured the Puerto Madero area, especially the Puente de la Mujer, and others did so through the Costanera area.
One of the busiest points was the Kirchner Cultural Center that within the framework of its cycle “Vacaciones para Armar” offered proposals for girls, boys and for all curious people and lovers of knowledge.
“A Ciencia Cierta” is the space shared with the Ministry of Culture, which invites us to investigate, explore, discover and create, putting what surrounds us under the magnifying glass to look at what we already know with different eyes.
Among the proposals for the whole family that take place in room 304, “Zoom in – Lupa” stands out, an interactive exhibition that invites you to discover enlarged views of different samples that are part of the material library of material experimentation.

Through a magnifying glass that manages to increase the human gaze four hundred times, it seeks to arouse the interest of the public through the discovery of an incredible world of textures and fibers.
Another activity -aimed at girls and boys from the age of 5 onwards- is “Geopalooza” in which it is proposed to assemble free structures, from pieces that fit together with the aim of generating increasingly complex figures aiming at development of the creativity of those who participate.
The “Plakas” workshop transmits knowledge about notions of geometric construction from the creation of collective constructions with medium-sized wooden plates. This is useful for girls and boys to learn the importance of continuous improvement by collaborating with their processes of attention, creativity and self-esteem.
In the “Wristband Workshop” -aimed at girls and boys from the age of 7 onwards- the participants made knitted fabrics with various designs on a circular loom made with cardboard tubes and discarded wood. During the workshop, experiments are carried out with everyday materials to innovate in the design of a personalized wristband.
The Cultural Center of Science, the Ecopark, El Rosedal, the Historic Tram of the Caballito neighborhood, the Planetarium with its show “The Birth of the Earth”, the visit to the Fragata Sarmiento, and the Museums of Decorative Art, Fine Arts , Historic National, Malvinas, and the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, were other high points of massive attendance of children and their families.
