Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / recreation
Spanish term or phrase: Postas
This is one of the activities for families to be held at a museum in Buenos Aires Argentina:

Diferentes propuestas recreativas para compartir en familia, en el marco de la colección permanente y de la exposición de XXXX. Postas en sala con actividades y juegos a partir de diferentes obras de la colección; Biografías: historias de artistas a partir de relatos cortos; Recreos: dos propuestas de taller inspiradas en la obra de Carlos Cruz-Diez y en el edificio del museo.

Is it like stalls at fairs?

Thanks

(family/children's) activity areas/spaces/points


Explanation:
I think that "activity and games" is key here. Stalls, stands, or stations don't really describe spaces where kids can sprawl on the floor and do "hands-on" activities. I don't know whether the "sala" refers to an exhibition hall or a "grand hall," but I've seen this kind of activity in individual exhibition halls and on a larger scale in a grand or entry hall or other designated activity area. I think "point" is OK, but trying to get hits, hundreds of museum programs that gave kids "points" for spotting works in the galleries seem to have overwhelmed any other reference. Some examples: KET | Art to Heart | Museum Activities for Young Children -
