Madrid for children

To take children to the Crystal Palace of the Retiro Park, there is no need to tell them, as usual, that the palace is surrounded by dragons tiles on the bottom of its facade and that they guard the treasure, saved in the building. The name itself is suggestive enough to arouse their curiosity and enthusiasm impossible to restrain. If that has been used despite the claim to lead them there, then you should truthfully say that it is actually the light which is so generously protected by the palace, a light that is clothed in purple shadows haunting tones, up to the 29^th of April, thanks to the wonderful facility Soledad Sevilla Posted on celestial bodies (http://www.museoreinasofia.es/exposiciones/actuales/sevilla.html), under whose dreamy structure, of the same replica of the palace, children can run and jump as they wish, even pass beneath it without stooping to enter the narrow corridor that confronts us with the vision of what lies outside of the crystals, the light quivering park seen through them under of the gaze that constitutes and shapes the art.

Thus began another claim, the paths of lush gardens, fabulous fountains and ponds courtiers, which a child can only perceive as a double delight. Some of them lead us to the Royal Botanic Gardens, offering a wide range of activities for children and families aimed at understanding and enjoyment of winter nature.

Others bring us to the Puppet Theatre Retreat, in which circular enclosure, puppet shows, especially designed for young audiences, can be seen on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Music, magic, art, fantasy, storytelling and puppet manipulation will catch the whole family and momentarily transported to another dimension where imagination is all around.

If this starter left you wanting more, at the Teatro Galileo you will be able to see the Grand Puppet Circus by Alauda Company until the 11^th of March, where an unforgettable troupe of puppet-artists, wood, cloth, cardboard, paper and cast under the direction of artist Rafael Benito (who makes and handles them) recreates a series of classics in the history numbers of circus art.

Changing the third in an orbit that goes from the tiny to the colossal, on stage at the Puerta del Angel, by the river Manzanares, we will be able to enjoy with our children of the impressive Dinosaur Park, which includes more than fifty full-scale reproductions of these extraordinary specimens that continue to have an incomparable power of fascination for people of all ages. This unique event will run until the end of February.

Some of them reach twelve meters high and are equipped with motion, which is particularly attractive to children, often just as dynamic. With this visit we completed five suggestions entertaining and educational for children when renting apartments in Madrid
