All-in-all quite well rounded in their interests
. The Hilton sounds good so will see if they have a suite available (always easier with the two little ones)/ Will have to pick your brains when we finally decide to make our India trip ^
I've been an FT advocate of Argentina before I posted much on here about India.
The Hilton Buenos Aires doesn't have many full suites available -- I've never gotten one comped as a Diamond -- and junior suites are few and far between and generally not given gratis to Diamonds either. So book early if available and wanting to stick to the Hilton like I usually do.
There are a great number of museums in Buenos Aires and a whole variety of stand alone contemporary galleries that are rather interesting to check out. For museums, start with the MALBA. Seeing that kids often like animals, I'd suggest a visit to some sort of ranch in the province as well.
The Recoleta cemetery children too find interesting as it's rather different than what is routinely found in cemeteries in the US. Tango shows are interesting, although perhaps the kids would be satisfied by watching the street performers do the tango or looking around the San Telmo antiques market with you two. Teatro Colon and a milonga should be checked out anyway.
Parque 3 de Febrero in Palermo is good too for taking a ride in an old-style buggy; and checking out Rosedal there may make sense too although I don't know how it'll be in April.
There's also heading to Colonia (over in Uruguay) on a ferry to check out what is a UNESCO world heritage site and a place that I think is worth checking out especially if you'll not get back to the area for certain again. (Most people who visit Argentine once want to visit often.
