“Very nice zoo. Great place for kids.”

Reviewed June 17, 2013 NEW

Within 1 hour away from Buenos Aires, Temaiken is a great get away for families. Animals very well taken care of, well maintained, meeting the highest standards. There's a parrilla where food is outstanding. You can spend easily a day there without seeing the time passing.

“Best Theme Park in Argentina”

Temaiken is one of the best Bioparks Ive visited, and I know quite a few. It is perhaps the only major attraction in Argentina built and operated to the top international standards. Facilities are modern, constantly refurbished and updated, and the collection of animals and plants that are on display is truly impressive. This place is not to be missed... More
