Madrid With a 3 Year Old

[Anonymous]

Will be in Madrid with my 3 year old from 1/16-1/23. Any recommendations of things to do in winter with a 3yo? Thanks

Have I got the website for you: Kid-Friendly Activities in Madrid:

My #1 tip for traveling to madrid with a 3 year old: bring a stroller even if your 3 year old is a good walker. Travel by metro and use the elevators (follow the handicap signs/use metro stations that have a handicap icon indicating that they are elevator accessible)--don't deal with all those stairs/escalators with a new walker.

Watch out for pick-pockets on metro/bus/in crowds when you're running after the 3 year old and juggling all your stuff.

The weather will probably be really nice and just being there in the plazas and sunshine will be 100% nice. Have fun!!

Retiro Park is a lovely spot for a run-around.

But it has only 4 toilets! Total! In the entire park!

Sorry, that is my major pet peeve with El Retiro. Absolute dearth of restroom facilities.

That’s good to know. I’ll take that into account.

Lots of bushes though.
