Hey, parents!

Semana Santa is upon us, and I’ve got a ton of interesting plans to keep you busy.

In this edition, we’ve got K-Pop the musical (your last chance to see it), several puppet shows, loads of magic shows, family day at a local farm, a workshop to learn about electrical charges (I’ve got tickets to this!), several free play proposals, a workshop at the Railway Museum, a film based on a comic book, and plenty more!

Share this like the responsible adult that you are

For diehard Mario Bros. fans

To celebrate the premiere of the new Super Mario movie, there are some fantastic, free immersive experiences going on at the La Vaguada shopping mall!

A different movie experience

Step away from the current Hollywood film scene and take your kids to see The General, a 1926 classic and highly entertaining silent movie.

Cosplay, films, and more

Don’t miss this year’s edition of the Comic Fair, a free event at Matadero with tons of workshops, competitions, exhibitions, and more fun for the whole family.

Mi Pequeño Recreo Spring Camp is here… and it’s designed for real family life.

From March 27th to April 6th (closed on April 2nd and 3rd), we offer a flexible and caring space where your little ones can enjoy their holidays while you keep up with your routine.

Whether you need full-day care (8:30 AM – 5:30 PM) or just a few hours, we adapt to your schedule. Our full-day option includes both lunch and an afternoon snack, so everything is taken care of.

A safe, stimulating environment where children play, learn, and feel at home — while you enjoy peace of mind.

 Where science meets art

Check out this fantastic exhibition on the sable-toothed tiger which shows how the environment, climate, and competition with other species shaped the biology of these animals, and compares their anatomy and behavior with those of modern big cats, such as lions and tigers, to understand what made them so unique.

FunBox has officially arrived

Are you ready to tackle the biggest bouncy house in the world? The correct answer to that question is “yes!” This place has 4,000 m2 of bouncy castles, slides, obstacles, and tunnels, and 10 different play areas. From the ninja wall to the 7-meter slide, this is the perfect way to spend time with your kids, and also tire them out!

THANK YOU for subscribing, for reading, and for being part of this project of mine, it honestly means a lot.

If the newsletter helped you even a tiny bit (like saving you from one “what are we doing this weekend??” meltdown ), I’d LOVE it if you shared it with another family.

Know about a cool plan I should include? Got thoughts? Feedback? Just wanna say “hey”? Hit reply, I actually read everything!

See you next week… same time, same inbox.
