How to Get There

Parque de la Costa is located on Tigre waterfront, about 20 miles (50 kilometers) north of Buenos Aires. Regular trains run from Buenos Aires’ central station to Tigre and take 45 minutes. Alternatively, you can arrive by boat from the Puerto Madero docks, which are open during the summer months. From Tigre train station, it’s a 10-minute walk to the park.

When to Get There

The water park is open on weekends year-round and daily during school holidays, but opening periods can vary so it’s best to check in advance. Opening times are typically 11am to 7pm’ it’s best to arrive just before opening, especially in the summer months when lines can get long.

Summer in Tigre

Tigre is a popular destination for a day trip or weekend getaway from Buenos Aires, especially during the scorching summer months. As well as spending the day at Parque de la Costa, cool off at the Aquafan water park, enjoy water sports along the Tigre River, or take a scenic cruise around the Tigre Delta. In the town, the daily crafts market draws large crowds and there are plenty of cafés and restaurants to dine with a view along the waterfront.
