Poor September, it has a bad reputation and it is not really deserved. Everything is governed by contrasts, by seeing the glass half full or half empty. School, the happy back to school with all your children running around. Glass half full, they have the hope of reuniting with their colleagues. Glass half empty, vacation is over. Today, from here, we are going to turn each of these letters into a drop of water, for what?, to fill the glass. Which is how you have to see it.
Because perhaps in September it is the little ones who alter or establish the new routine of their elders, and since routine is what we have to avoid, we are going to know, now that they return from their rested days, some of the best options for them during the academic season.
From smallest to largest. Let's start with the little ones in the house and two options for them.
Horseback ride in Cercedilla (€17)
Logic says that when you go back to school you return to the city. And that is more than enough reason to disconnect with nature from time to time. Hence this option, focused so that the little ones are fascinated by the hand of horses and ponies.
In Cercedilla, a natural area of unfathomable beauty, in the heart of the Sierra de Guadarrama, we suggest that you change your notebooks for horses, how? with this half-hour route. To do this, they will ride on the back of a docile horse that will be walked on a rope so that the children are not in any danger.
On the other hand, you are provided with all the necessary material so that the activity can be carried out in complete safety. And ignore that only two requirements are necessary to be able to enjoy it: love for animals and being between 1 and 8 years old.
Playground with cooking workshop (€10)
The weekend is coming and what better way for the kids to disconnect than spending an afternoon at a playground, but not just any one. Well In this case we propose fun with a great cooking workshop, where you will feel like real chefs.
Something that your elders will also witness, since they will be able to take their own recipes home. In the park they will also enjoy other games, as well as a great snack with cake.
And finally they will leave with a surprise in the form of a gift.
Now we raise the age a little and above all the training, because fun can also come from the hand of knowledge and culture, always chewed and adapted for them. Two other options:
Gymkana in the Temple of Debod (€7)
The clues and riddles are nothing more than an excuse for children to learn everything they need to know about the culture of the ancient Egyptians. And what better place for this than theTemple of Debod, an environment that will make you live an adventure that you will not forget.
Designed for children between 6 and 10 years old, it is a perfect activity for them to have fun and learn at the same time. With a duration of 2 hours, the only requirement is that each minor is accompanied by an adult, so young and old can enjoy it.
Visit through ancient Rome at the Archaeological Museum (€12)
Do you feel like taking a trip back in time with your child? Then this is the perfect plan for you and him. We talk about getting to know Roman Hispania at theNational Archaeological Museum. A visit where Romulus and Remus will be very present, as well as the expansion of the Roman Empire.
Focused on the little one having a good time, during the route our guide will draw the path with all the legends, curiosities and anecdotes of this culture that left such an important legacy in our architecture.
For just over two hours and any day of the week we are waiting for you!
And to finish we go with some option for the most daring and intrepid. Let's release the adrenaline while promoting camaraderie.
Paintball for children in Torrejón de Ardoz (€15)
Nothing better to spend a day with your friends than with a game of paintball. And you will do it with up to 100 balls for each of you. But that is not the best, because in the battle center you can choose between four different scenarios: a military field, a fortress, a town...
In addition, we provide you with all the material necessary for the game, such as masks and camouflage overalls, and even a professional instructor who will give you some advice before starting the fight.
And all for 15 euros and for kids between 8 and 13 years of age.
Two-seater kart for adults and children in Rivas (€12)
Do you want to live an unforgettable experience with your child? We present you an irresistible option, such as sharing a kart with him or her. We are talking about a two-seater vehicle with capacity for an adult and a child, so you can compete alongside it!
The circuit where you will enjoy the round is in Rivas and has a very dynamic and fun layout. For the race you are provided with all the material, such as the helmet and the corresponding insurance.
