Fun things to do with kids in Spain

Kids play on a plaza at paseo timeIn most Spanish cities and town, the early evening ritual of the paseo draws people of all generations to promenade, visit and play in plazas or pedestrian streets.

Most of the activities below are available year round. This is just a sampling.

MADRID

Royal Palace-the armory. Lots of armor, guns and other destructive tools.

Reina Sofia Museum-fun, modern art. Buy postcards on the way inside and watch your little artist match the postcards to the artworks. Ride the glass elevator up and down. Inner courtyard is good for running around and eating.

Royal Temple of Debod-a spooky maze of stone chambers to explore. Continue to nearby parks-Campo de Moro and Parque del Oeste.

Teleférico cable car-Paseo Pintor Rosales/Metro stop Argüelles.

Naval Museum-filled with model ships, canons, navigational tools. The museum is free, open mornings only.

Rastro-flea market on Sundays.

Xanadú-shopping mall in Arroyomolinos, a short drive from city center. Go kart track, indoor ski slope, food court.

Retiro Park-mimes, musicians, fountains, boating lake, roller-blading.

Madrid zoo-it has it all.
