Overview
- The City of Buenos Aires announced Friday that paid entry for visitors who do not live in the city will take effect on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
- The published price list sets tickets at ARS 9,871 for Argentines and residents living outside the city, ARS 19,741 for foreign visitors, and ARS 15,793 for foreign children under 12.
- People with city domicile will continue to enter free and receive access to a dedicated faster entry lane while minors under 12, people over 65 and persons with disabilities are exempt regardless of residence.
- City officials framed the move as a way to return value to local taxpayers and create a steady revenue stream to sustain rescue, conservation and education programs at the Ecoparque.
- The Ecoparque was converted from the historic Buenos Aires zoo after 2016 and now focuses on animal rescue and native-species programs, with about 3,900 rescued animals and 15 conservation initiatives housed among 42 heritage buildings.
