RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – You can find another option for children’s entertainment during the July vacation in the West Zone of Rio. After the “park” set up by the Animal Planet channel at the Rio Design shopping mall, it’s time for the Metropolitano Shopping Mall, also in Barra da Tijuca, to feature a new attraction.
The Tech Park is a technology circuit with several fun interactions, such as aerial drones, land drones, memory games, virtual reality, robotics, artificial intelligence, and tangrams.
The event is free of charge and is held from July 12th to 28th at the Mall’s Praça de Eventos (“Events Square”), located on the Level 1.
