Parque Quinta Normal - City Park Santiago - Chile

Quinta Normal is one of Santiago’s most popular parks, covering an area of 40 hectares in the west part of the city. It has several walkways, a small boating lake, a skate park and go-karts to rent. It’s also home to four museums, including the Natural History Museum, Artequin Museum (that features reproductions of world-famous paintings), Science and Technology Museum and Railway Museum. The park and museums are a bit run-down and underfunded. There are much nicer parks in the city and Quinta Normal is worth going to if you have run out of ways to entertain the kids.
