The great museums of Madrid with children
Before organizing a visit to the great museums of Madrid with children, it is best to put on the table the different ways to face the visit. A family can consider a visit to a museum with children as companions, in which the parents try to involve them in what we see and, on the other hand, we can also design a visit of their taste, to a museum that interests them especially, for its child or educational content.
How to visit a museum with children
Both options have many advantages. Bringing the child to an adult museum allows us to introduce him to a social environment that he will sooner or later know, perhaps through school. It is not a bad idea to do it before our hand or in parallel. On the other hand, visiting these museums will make it possible for you to get close to some of the most outstanding works of Art History. These museums are the Prado Museum, the Thyssen Museum or the Reina Sofia Museum, the great museums of the capital.
The great museums of Madrid, in addition, organize specific activities for children, workshops and family visits, which must be booked in advance and at very low prices, most of them free.
If instead of booking, which is not always easy due to the high demand, you want to make a free visit, it is recommended that you visit them in your free time slot, especially if you bring children under 5 years because they may not hold much in the rooms and They need to change the scenario in less than an hour.
Free hours for children
In this way, we will avoid having paid too much money and we will be able to leave without any problem when the children lose interest. In spite of this, keep in mind that in these museums the children enter free, so you must count only your entrance in the visit to the great museums of Madrid with children.
In any case, these are the free schedules for these museums:
- Queen Sofia. Their free hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and on Sundays from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Closed on Tuesdays
- The meadow It also has a free schedule: Monday to Saturday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and Sundays and holidays from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
- The Thyssen Allows free entry on Mondays from 12.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. by MasterCard sponsorship.
We can not forget that Reina Sofía and Thyssen Bornemisza offer material
for children at some times of the year or coinciding with some collection and El Prado, specifically, permanently. They make available to the visitor a very interesting didactic material that you can request at the box office that presents small games and riddles to the children in the different rooms.
