This is a public park located in the middle of the city in the Belgrano neighborhood. It is a…read moremedium sized park that takes up the equivalent of 4 city blocks. There is not much to do here and no attractions within, but it's a solid place to relax, sit on the benches, and read. There are lots of sculptures which include, oddly enough, a small replica of the Statue of Liberty. It is very clean as well and conveniently located next to many restaurants.

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.

Not as big nor as significant as a Central Park in Manhattan, for example, but this area is in its own sense the Central Park of Palermo neighborhood. The neighborhood is filled with bars, clubs, restaurants, crowds, and so on. Sometimes it is nice to get away from that and enjoy a bit of nature. In Palermo, this is as good as it gets. I definitely recommend coming to this park sometime. I have noticed that some area are open past 5pm, but I am not sure which ones are.

In a city that has - everywhere - blocks-long, free, clean, ultra-green parks and plazas in which…read moreto hang out one would be right to question why anyone would ever choose to pay to enter a similar environment. Chalk it up to curiosity. Days earlier we'd been intrigued when driven past Jardín Japonés and when we stumbled upon it while trekking back from somewhere else an immediate decision was made: we're going to this Japanese garden. It was late afternoon and summer in Buenos Aires and it felt like I was walking through fire. The green grass in this park is entirely off-limits as you stroll along sun-baked asphalt paths to view the Japanese structures, sculptures, and water features. There's benches to sit on but they, too, are placed almost entirely in full-sun locations. So my time here was rather brief; I literally couldn't get comfortable. In addition to koi ponds, food/drink stands, and gift shops, this well-curated park also features performances. As I enjoyed a cold drink a gaggle of kimono-clad women passed by en route to the stage where they performed (dance). I can't say I found this park enjoyable but I could see that it would be had I been there on a day and time that wasn't boiling.

While it's not as large or elaborate as some of the famous Japanese gardens I've visited in the U.S. and Japan, this one still has its own charm. There's pretty little bridges to cross over, plenty of spots to take photos (you'll often see people lining up for selfies), and some nice traditional structures scattered throughout. I totally missed seeing the koi in the pond! Perhaps it had been drizzling all day? Even though the weather was damp, there was still a decent crowd wandering around. The visitor center is handy if you want a drink, snack, or souvenir. All in all, it's a beautiful little escape from the city noise. You get a taste of Japanese landscaping and that peaceful, Zen feeling right in the heart of Buenos Aires. Worth stopping by if you're nearby.

Very nice park, you can easily come here on your lunch break…read more There are a lot of businesses in the area that you can grab something to go. On the corner you can find Freddo or a local ice cream store on the other corner. Other than that it's very clean and neat, they do have a lot of shades so even on a sunny day it will be good option. If you are not in a rush, check out the museum near by.
