Goodbye to classes.
School holidays are here
and many parents want to know what to do in the coming weeks with their children.
Here are a series of
recommendations for the little ones in the house to have a great
time and squeeze every last minute of their free time
.
SCENARIOS
Among the most outstanding events of the summer are, without a doubt, the
Veranos de la Villa
organized by the Madrid City Council.
Endless activities from the beginning of July to the end of August, among which
Ulterior el Viaje
stands out (July 9, in the Plaza del CC Pozo del Tío Raimundo; July 10, in the Parque El Paraíso Auditorium), a street show by Puppeteers starring three dinosaurs and their tamer;
the giant puppets of
Xarma
(July 24 in Conde Duque) or the extensive program of events focused on magic that arrives at the headquarters of the Juan March Foundation.
Among others, the exhibition
From ritual magic to scenic art.
The Library of Illusionism
(from July 7 to 9) or the
Lolamentando show
(July 10), which mixes magic, humor and improvisation.

The Retiro
Puppet Theater is located in the Retiro
Park , an essential classic.
Free tickets are available every Friday morning for world-class shows that take place at sunset on Saturdays and Sundays.
More recent is the
WAH Show
proposal , a musical show in the purest Las Vegas and Broadway style that has been sweeping adults for months.
And that, now, it has some morning sessions in which those under 14 years of age will have free access on Saturdays in June and Sundays in July, by reservation.
Many theaters continue to offer shows for all audiences during these weeks.
In
Jacob's ladder,
the offer that it presents on a regular basis is expanded with magic and humor shows, while
Teatro Luchana
continues to have hits from this season in its LuchanaKids section such as
El pequeno rey
or
Una rana en la luna
.
EVENTS
World Dog Show
will take place at Ifema Madrid until Sunday, June 26.
This premier event allows dog lovers to enjoy activities related to their favorite pets.
In 58 spaces spread over four pavilions there will be tests of obedience, agility or protection with purebred dogs, exhibitions with dogs from the National Police or the Civil Guard and a contest that will choose the best dogs in the world.
Until September, the largest exhibition of Lego pieces in Europe
will be at the Plaza Río 2 Shopping Center
.
Around a hundred models will be exhibited there, including a city in which no detail is missing,
Star Wars
ships and landscapes , a scale reproduction of footballer Robert Lewandowski, moving trains, princess castles and monuments such as The Taj Mahal or the Roman Forum.
And, very close to this space, in
Matadero Madrid
, an exhibition open until the end of July has many incentives to get young and old excited.
It is about
My Grandparents' Things
, an installation in which the members of the Spanish Theater and Naves del Español have participated.
The memories they have of their grandparents are made up of figures, furniture, paintings, drawings and musical instruments.
ACTIVITIES
To reinforce what has been learned in class and do it in a fun way, three spaces present options to learn various issues in a fun way.
The first of these is the
Planetarium of Madrid
, which expands its usual programming in the summer months with high-quality exhibitions such as
The colors of the deep sky
and
Europe in space
and projections under its iconic dome such as
López, the explorer of other worlds
or
Polaris
.
On the other hand, in the nearby town of Alcobendas is the
National Museum of Science and Technology (MUNCYT)
, which has an impressive collection with more than 500 pieces dating from the Middle Ages to the present.
The best advice is to go early and enjoy the interactive area where you can learn, through games, issues related to weather, gravity or primary colors.
And best of all, you can freely touch any object on display.
At the
Thyssen Museum
, from July 11 to 15, children between the ages of 8 and 11 have the
Simultaneous Celebrations
educational program available .
This proposal proposes meeting spaces and games inspired by the works present in this museum space.

CINEMA
Watching a movie on the big screen is an experience that little ones really like.
From June 29 to September 8, Cibeles de cine
is held in the Crystal Gallery of the central Palacio de Cibeles
.
In its new edition there is a section planned for family cinema with the screening of classics such as
The Princess Bride
,
Shrek
or
Grease
and novelties such as
Lightyear
or
Jurassic World: Dominion
.
During the summer, the avalanche of
family movie releases
in commercial theaters will be remarkable.
Among the most important are the highly anticipated
Minions: the origin of Gru
(July 1);
Thor: Love and Thunder
(July 8), the new Marvel adventure;
the more than predictable blockbuster of Santiago Segura
Padre no hay más que uno 3
(July 14) and animated films such as
DC Liga de supermascotas
(July 29) and
Tadeo Jones 3
(August 26).
Among the cinemas in Madrid, we should mention those of the Yelmo chain, which in its
Sala Junior
include a slide and a games area.
Both are available for the use and enjoyment of children before the projection starts and in a pause that takes place in the middle of it.
OUTDOOR
Many have already enjoyed them.
They are the
municipal swimming pools
that, until September 11, will remain open.
A very accessible luxury both for the price of admission and for availability.
This year two access shifts have been established: from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Next to them there are other
swimming pools dependent on the Community of Madrid
, such as the M 86 Sports Center, the Canal de Isabel II Sports Facility, the Puerta de Hierro Sports Park and the San Vicente de Paúl Sports Facilities.
A 30-minute drive from the capital, in San Martín de la Vega, we find the
Warner Beach Park
, full of spaces for aquatic fun.
Coinciding with the start of the holidays and on its 20th anniversary, this theme park opens two new attractions.
At 120 meters long and 14 meters high,
Black Manta
offers new sensations similar to zero gravity in the water, while
Aquaman
is a slide full of turns.
Other spaces continue, such as
Malibu Beach
, the wave pool and several children's play areas.
Another of the places that families have frequented the most in summer for years is the
Amusement Park
, which presents two new shows:
The Lost Treasure
, an interactive musical theater play in a 4D cinema, and
BMX Freestyle
, a show starring a master of this extreme bike sport that includes almost impossible stunts, jumps and turns.
Without forgetting proposals as consolidated as the
Sawmill
or
the rapids
, where getting out soaked is the greatest incentive.
A little less than an hour's drive from Madrid we find
Puy du Fou
, next to Toledo, which has just received its one millionth visitor and which offers a unique journey through time.
El Cid, Lope de Vega or Christopher Columbus are some of the characters honored in shows that take place during the day.
At nightfall it's time for
The Dream of Toledo
, an impressive show that recreates, on a gigantic five-hectare stage and with the help of 200 actors, more than 1,500 years of Spanish history.
