Bogotá is heaven for nature and architecture lovers, thanks to its rich cultural heritage and close proximity to many natural wonders. Travelers visiting with their family won’t be disappointed by the Colombian capital either, especially if they decide to visit these three spots.

Salitre Mágico

No kid-friendly destination is complete without its own amusement park, and Bogotá also has one in store. Located on the grounds of the Parque el Salitre, Salitre Mágico is home to high-speed roller coasters, go-karts, and its own castle of horrors. If you’re in the mood to explore more amusement parks, Mundo Aventura and Multiparque are also worth checking out.

Planetarium of Bogotá

If you and your kids happen to be passionate about space exploration, Bogotá’s planetarium is the place to be. It offers astronomy shows, a space museum, interactive rooms, and it will make you fall in love with space all over again.

Maloka Museum

Bogotá is home to several interactive, kid-friendly museums, but none of them compares to Maloka. It features nine themed rooms, centered on different science and technology topics, filled with interactive exhibits that have to be seen to be believed.
