The idea is simple but irresistible: becoming kids again and playing a treasure hunt while exploring a neighborhood. This Saturday, the meeting point is Parque Rivadavia from 5:30pm, and it has everything a good treasure hunt should have—clues that lead you to different spots, hidden prizes, and curious facts about the area. The goal is to find the golden little horse, a mysterious object lost years ago, hidden somewhere within a radius of no more than 15 blocks.

It’s an ideal plan to do with friends and/or meet new people. The initiative is led by Nave de Juegos, a traveling games event that invites people to put screens aside and connect with others through the right dose of playful leisure.

The details: tickets cost ARS 15,000 and you can reserve yours via Instagram.

Where: the exact starting point is shared once the reservation is confirmed.

If you’re taking a few days off and heading to the coast—or just feel like a quick escape—we suggest saving one night to enjoy a solo performance that will surprise you. “Frida, ¡Viva la vida!” is a bold, intense, and colorful theatrical monologue in which Frida Kahlo comes back to life on the Day of the Dead to relive her entire story: her passions, pain, loves, and even her anger at life, all while cooking and preparing an altar for her most imaginary guests.

This Saturday it will be performed at the Casa de la Cultura in Villa Gesell, and on Sunday at the Teatro–Cine Leonardo Favio in Santa Clara del Mar. Laura Azcurra fully embodies the character with powerful writing, a performance that hits straight to the heart, and a vibe that blends pain, passion, and life in every scene.

The details: tickets are available at this link.

Where: Casa de la Cultura, Av. 3 4045, Villa Gesell; y Teatro Cine Leandro Favio, La Florida 574, Santa Clara del Mar.

“Casi Normales” (“Next to Normal in English) is back—and it’s taking things a step further. Starting this Friday (with performances this Saturday at 9pm and Sunday at 8pm), the story gets a new twist with an immersive experience that pulls the audience directly into a show that was already a hit.

There are no comfortable seats here: you share the space, breathe in the scene, and experience the play from the inside. For the first time in Spanish and in an immersive format, this version makes history as the first Broadway show adapted to this kind of experience, with the approval of its original creators and an impressive international run. Add to that a stellar cast led by Mela Lenoir (you can read an interview we did with her here), Roberto Peloni and Mariano Chiesa.

The details: the show will run for only 15 performances, and tickets are already available at this link.

Where: Centro Audiovisual Inmersivo, Av. Jorge Newbery 3039, Colegiales.

Can you imagine walking among Jurassic giants that seem alive without leaving the city? Viven Dinosaurios has arrived at La Rural in Palermo and is the perfect excuse to start the year traveling millions of years into the past. Every day (including Saturdays and Sundays), more than 50 animatronic dinosaurs with Japanese technology await you in an exhibition that combines science, surprise, and pure wonder—roars, realistic movements, and information panels for adults and kids who want to experience prehistory from the inside.

You can explore rooms that transport you to the Jurassic and Cretaceous eras, learn from content prepared by paleontologists, and marvel at creatures that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. The exhibition runs daily until February 28.

The details: tickets are available at this link.

Where: Av. Sarmiento 2704.
