Madrid has a broad and diverse range of activities for children who travel to the capital in school groups or as a family to come back with a pleasant and unforgettable memory of their stay in Madrid. We propose some of the almost infinite options that Madrid has to offer for children to enjoy a weekend getaway, as there are places for leisure and entertainment for all tastes.
Warner Park and other amusement parks in Madrid
This is one of the most popular theme parks in Madrid. Although it is not located in the capital itself, it is only 25 km away, in San Martín de la Vega.
The park covers 150 hectares and features amusement areas, rides, shows, shops and restaurants for the whole family. In addition, the kids can interact with their favourite Warner characters, and new attractions and proposals are introduced every year.
Other theme parks with great options for children and adults to enjoy are Parque Europa, Micripolix or Parque de Atracciones in the heart of the capital (Casa de Campo), easily accessible, even by public transport.
Faunia: the perfect plan for travelling with children to Madrid and have fun
Faunia is a 14-hectare space dedicated to the representation of natural ecosystems from all over the world, where visitors can live experiences of interaction with animals: aquatic mammals such as dolphins, or tropical birds such as Rainbow Parrots and Turacos.
The animal and plant variety found in the Temperate Forest, in the African Forest of Faunia or the replica of Antarctica with its seven species of penguins, and the Amazon Jungle with freshwater fish or manatees (fascinating aquatic mammals), manage to provide an impressive and unforgettable entertainment experience.
