Popularité
Argentina's largest theme park, famous for the Goliath coaster, uniquely located on a Paraná Delta island accessible by train from Buenos Aires.
Argentina's Premier Theme Park
Parque de la Costa is Argentina's largest and most popular theme park, located in Tigre, Buenos Aires Province, approximately 30 kilometres north of Buenos Aires city centre. Opened in 1997, the park sits on an island in the Paraná Delta and is easily reachable from Buenos Aires by suburban train and ferry — a journey that is itself part of the experience.
Unique Island Setting
Few theme parks in the world have a setting as distinctive as Parque de la Costa. Located on an island in the Tigre Delta — a vast labyrinth of rivers, canals, and subtropical vegetation — the park is surrounded by water on all sides. Visitors arrive by tren de la costa (coastal train) from Buenos Aires and cross to the island by ferry, giving the visit an adventure quality before the gates even open.
Attractions & Zones
The park features a broad range of rides and attractions spread across multiple themed areas:
- Roller coasters — including Goliath, one of the tallest and fastest coasters in South America
- Water rides — log flumes and rapid rides well suited to Argentina's hot summers
- Family rides — carousels, ferris wheels, and junior coasters
- Live shows — theatrical productions and character experiences
- Children's zones — dedicated areas with age-appropriate attractions
Headline Ride: Goliath
Goliath is the park's flagship attraction — a massive steel roller coaster that is among the most intense rides in South America. The coaster's combination of height, speed, and sustained G-forces has made it legendary among Argentine thrill-seekers.
A Buenos Aires Institution
For residents of Buenos Aires and the surrounding province, Parque de la Costa holds a special place in popular culture. Generations of Bonaerenses have made the train-and-ferry journey to Tigre a family tradition, and the park continues to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
