Bariloche vs strollers
The first thing we quickly discovered is that Bariloche is not very stroller-friendly! This is a city of steep hills, some of the sidewalks are stairs, and some stretches of sidewalk are broken and not very smooth. So our tip is to stay as close to the waterfront as possible, or along Mitre, the main street for tourists, lined with lots of cafes, restaurants and attractions.
Museum of Patagonia
As for attractions, we visited the Museum of Patagonia, which focuses on natural history and anthropology. Our daughter loved seeing the different animals: penguins, albatrosses and vultures.
Nahuel Huapi Viewpoint and City Sign
We then made our way down to the waterfront for a stroll along Lake Nahuel Huapi. This is where you'll also find the Bariloche city sign to snap that classic photo.
Museum of Malvinas, Antarctica and the South Atlantic
This isn't necessarily a kid-friendly museum, however, our daughter had fallen asleep, so we had the chance to visit. This is a new museum in Bariloche that opened in September 2025. It pays homage to the fallen soldier and veterans of the Malvinas War.
Cathedral of Our Lady of Nahuel Huapi
This stone cathedral sits on a hill with rose bushes out front. It was designed in the Gothic Revival style by Alejandro Bustillo, the same architect behind the famous Llao Llao Hotel. And it was built between 1942 and 1944.
Familia Weiss
We had lunch at Familia Weiss, a restaurant specializing in a mix of German dishes and Patagonian dishes. We got the Goulash with Spaetzle and the Hunter’s stew (with deer meat) also with Spaetzle. It was a wonderful meal with lakeside views.
Del Turista
That afternoon, we enjoyed ice cream at Del Turista, one of the top ice cream shops in Bariloche. We got 3 ice cream flavours: coconut and dulce de leche, Black Forest, and wild forest berries. It was the perfect mid-afternoon treat.
Carrousel
Next, we made our way to a kids' play center called Carrousel. This is a fun space for little kids aged 0-8, with an old wooden carousel, a ball pit, a slide, and lots of other games. We paid $4 USD for 30 minutes of play. They also sell coffee, sandwiches and other light snacks.
More kid-friendly activities in Bariloche
For older kids, you can also consider activities like: riding the chair lifts up to Cerro Campanario, seeing life-sized dinosaur replicas at Parque Nahuelito, or enjoying some ziplining at Canopy Bariloche. Plus, there is no shortage of hiking opportunities!
