Madrid is a city that has everything, even a more familiar version. It is a city full of open spaces and magnificent parks, modern and diverse. Today we suggest some leisure plans to enjoy as a family with the little ones.

The Maravillas Theater. Located in Manuela Malasaña street. Despite the long history of the establishment, the facility was remodeled a few years ago and now offers all the comfort and excellent acoustics. This room is specialized in comedy and children's plays, the purpose is to make this art known to children.

The Madrid Amusement Park. It is located in the Casa de Campo, the famous green recreational area of Madrid. You will like this park because it has attractions for all ages: scary experiences, the chance to meet your favorite Nickelodeon characters, and exclusive surprises for each season. Plus, you're in luck because it usually launches various promotions and discounts so that your budget doesn't get in the way. There are no excuses: you have to visit this magnificent adventure park to spend an unforgettable day with your family.

Next to Plaza de Chamberí, you will find the access stairs to one of the oldest subway lines in Madrid. You will go back to the 1960s, when this station was closed due to the impossibility of adapting the platform to the new trains. In 2008, it became a museum where you can see the original design of the station and the advertising posters of the time, as well as learn how the transport network that transformed the city and society was created. Without a doubt, a different kind of tourism, but a very interesting one.

If we go to the entrance of the Plaza Río 2 shopping center, we find a spectacular hanging bridge and a giant slide for children. To get to the bridge you have to overcome a set of stairs, ropes and ramps. A real adventure for children between 7 and 12 years old. If the children are not yet old enough to do this, take them up to the lookout point so they can enjoy the play area, as well as the beautiful views of the city. Everything is totally free.

In the center of the city, next to the famous Paseo de la Castellana, you will find this fascinating natural science museum. Through exhibitions and interactive activities, children will be able to see and feel what they have learned at school and awaken their curiosity about the world around them. There is no doubt that the protagonists of the museum are the bones of dinosaurs and whales, as well as large mammals such as African elephants in the biological field. In this space, they will understand the true meaning of biodiversity and why protecting it is so important.

And finally the planetarium, located in the Tierno Galvan Park. You will find it easy to locate because its dome can be seen from almost any angle. Inside, a series of permanent exhibitions await you, covering a very wide range of topics, from technology and the European Space Agency, to galaxies and even astronomical photographs.
