29 Aug 2024 Madrid is not only the capital of Spain, it is also the capital of the best leisure offer, with a wide variety of activities that cater for all the tastes of each and every one of its visitors.
Today we are going to talk about families, how they can enjoy the capital and how it will make all the members of the family enjoy themselves, with children in particular in mind.
Travelling with the whole family to the capital should be a positive experience, from the journey to the best restaurants for families in Madrid. And here we'll help you with everything, to make the most of your visit.
Calle del Arenal 8, 1º planta
We begin with all the illusion and magic of a character that has been with us for generations and is part of families with children; the tooth fairy.
The distinguished mouse has his home in Madrid, where it has become a fantastic museum for the whole family. It is great to discover the interesting and true story of the origin of the most famous Spanish mouse, since its creation in 1902.
As a curiosity, which you can see in the museum, the creator of the story was Father Luis Coloma, who wrote a story with the tooth fairy as the main character, thinking about the figure of a child to whom the story was dedicated. Who was the child? The future King of Spain, Alfonso XIII.
Calle del Doctor Cortezo, 8
A short walk of about eight minutes, not counting the stop you will make at Puerta del Sol, of course, one of Madrid's main monuments, will take us to our next destination.
The Museum of Illusions is the museum where having fun, experimenting, laughing and discovering are a must. Forget the "Do Not Touch" signs for other types of museums, in this one touching everything is a must.
But the faces of fun and surprise are as much for the little ones as for the parents. Here everyone can enjoy small experiments and optical illusions that will leave you wondering how it is possible to see what you are seeing. A place designed for the whole family.
Plaza de la Independencia, 7
Now we are going with the family to one of Madrid's hidden paradises; El Retiro. The lung of Madrid in the heart of the capital has 125 hectares and many things to see.
In El Retiro you can take a walk with the little ones to discover little by little many of the charms of the park, such as the Crystal Palace, the Puppet Theatre and the Monument to Alfonso XII in its famous pond.
Walk through the gardens and along the path on foot or by bicycle, but remember to finish your walk at the pond so that you can take one of the boats and sail on it, an experience that children will never forget.
Don't forget to take a look at their website, as they have numerous leisure activities organised on a regular basis.
Calle Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 20
Fantastic place to stop and enjoy a good coffee or a bite to eat while you recharge your batteries.
They have entertainment for the little ones such as toys and books for all ages, and they also organise activities, events and workshops for children from a very early age.
That's why you shouldn't miss their website, where you can see their updated programme of events. A place designed for the whole family, with children at the epicentre.
Casa de Campo
A great European capital could not be without a real amusement park. Its more than 50 years of experience make the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid a real attraction for the city and a fantastic idea for the whole family.
They organise special events for special dates such as Christmas or Halloween and are always looking for ways to innovate and improve to continue offering families the best experiences.
To talk about an amusement park in Madrid and not mention Parque Warner Madrid would be a real mistake. This renowned park offers fun for the whole family with some of the characters that have marked the childhood of both the youngest and those who are not so young anymore.
After this frenetic pace through the city, you need to spend the night in a place that is centrally located, close to all services, and that is happy to host families.
We have such a place, and it is Latroupe Prado Madrid. Its facilities are comfortable, beautiful and have the best atmosphere in the city, with people from all over the world wanting to have a good time. Enjoy its extensive menu at the bar, where you can also enjoy various activities organised by the hostel.
Book one of its rooms for the whole family, and spend the night in the heart of Paseo de las Delicias, close to all the services and monuments. A place close to everything, perfect to rest, your home away from home in Madrid.
