Family holidays with children in Chile - attractions and entertainment

Sooner or later, one question arises before all those traveling with kids: how to entertain small researchers? Activities for children should be fun and tireless. Therefore, one of the best places where you must take children is popular Mirador Interactive Museum in Santiago, La Granja. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. Its cafe opens at 11:00 am and closes at the same time as the museum. Activities of the museum entertain children, being educational in nature. Games, presentations, and exhibitions are held here. One of the most popular actions is the modeling of earthquakes and tsunamis. In the museum's fourteen halls, children learn a lot about nature, robotics, astronomy, and even oil production processes - and this is only a small part of what this museum is interesting for. There is also a 3D cinema and a theater hall. The museum houses a snack bar, as well as a gift shop selling games, books, and toys. And in the on-site garden children can play outdoors.

There are also amusement parks in Santiago. One of them, the largest in the country "Fantasilandia" in O'Higgins Park, is a place with breathtaking attractions offering a separate children's area. Children can ride one of the small trains, a rocking boat, a classic carousel, a dragon with carriages, a rotating twister and other wonderful attractions, while teenagers and adults swing on a pirate ship, rush through tunnels on inflatable boats, ride roller coasters, "Icarus", and "Kamikaze". In total, there are about 40 riders for all ages in the park.
Another place combining entertainment with education in the capital of Chile is the Planetarium of Santiago. Chilean parents often take their children to this place where school tours are regularly held. The planetarium built in the 1980s has immediately become an institution where one can get a unique experience. Educational information is projected onto its curtain dome, one of the largest in the world. With the help of images and sound, visitors are immersed in the cosmic atmosphere, and a star projector displays more than 5000 stars. Children will definitely like walking through the universe.

Mano del desierto

From the series “The Most Unusual Statues and Monuments”
One of the most unique sculptures is in the midst of the lifeless landscapes of the Chilean desert of Atakamas. The author of the monument under the name 'Mano del Desierto' (hand of the desert) is the sculptor from Chile Mario Irarrázabal. The unusual monument is impressively large - the height of the hand forms 11 meters. It looks incredibly impressive and evokes the hand of the giant, who is buried in the boundless sands of the desert. The importance of the monument is very symbolic. It should remind people that they still remain powerless before the element and nature.

The location of the monument is equally symbolic. Atakama is one of the hottest deserts in the world for the most difficult research. The sculpture was opened in 1992 with the support of the Fund Corporacion Pro … Read all
