Valparaiso Cultural Park

Great cultural centre offering theatre and various dance events. The allotment section is very special. Park is wide, green and well maintained. It is moving to think that thus art space was a jail before.

This was a former prison, turned into a active cultural centre. Artists were either practising performing arts or displaying artworks.

Ex-jail renovated to historic sites and opened for cultural activities, studies, etc. You will see the history of how it opened as a museum and some old part makes us feel the dark old days as a jail.... Open to public, something like 9:00-17:00.

Really amazing space with excellent exhibitions. The coffee shop is good too. One of the best views we found of Valparaiso and the harbour. Nice grass area to chill too.

Loved this park. Tons of arts and exercise classes and well kept. Definitely a good use of an old prison.

Cute park with a nice city view. Came here around sunset & it was pleasant to just walk around, sit & relax.

It's a nice place, but it needs a permanent museum or display

Architecture buffs and anyone interested in the history of Valparaíso would enjoy a stop here. Very well done repurposing of old jail that now contains a wide variety of spaces for cultural activities. Lots of different things going on here every day, including things like photography exhibits. There is a nice cafe and restaurant that I haven't tried yet but it is on my list.

A very cool space - the old prison turned into an art space and gallery When we went there was a slightly boring German modernism exhibit downstairs, but upstairs was a beautiful international black and white photography exhibit. They had a room of huge black and white photos, but where I spent most of my time was the room with 100s of photography books leaning against the walls waiting to be opened.

One of my favorite places in Valparaiso. During the week theres many events like meditation, yoga, workshops, and dance classes. On the weekend there are art shows, dance shows, and concerts. I recommend looking at the event calendar on their website. I usually come for the dance shows or concerts on the weekend. I recently went to the Antes de Partir contemporary dance show and we were given wine and an opportunity to speak to the dancers and choreographer. This has been the case with many of their performances. There is also a nice grass area for sports or lounging in the sun. Also, the shows and events usually run less than $5 USD!
