The Railway Museum is located in the old Delicias Station, a unique building that opened in 1880 and was the first major station in Madrid. Now the trains are no longer circulating, but there is a very complete collection of historical rail material in The Railway Museum, a very interesting visit with the children.
The Didactics Area of the Madrid Railway Museum includes a set of programs, activities and educational resources for children from the age of four. It is about bringing the little ones to the rich historical railway heritage.
The Museum offers itineraries for different stages, with the aim of facilitating, enriching and supporting the visit. The guide "Traveling through the Railway Museum" offers a didactic itinerary for children in the second cycle of Infant and Primary Education.
An approach to the means of transport: what and what they are, what they are for, the history of the railroad, the stations, the locomotives, the wagons ... are some of the topics that the guide approaches us, and that the kids will have the opportunity to see and enjoy in the Museum.
In addition, the Museum offers educational workshops for children, such as the one for the second cycle of Early Childhood Education, "Painting trains", in which with a buffer the steam locomotive is shaped on a tray and the railroad elements are decorated with other materials.
The musical theater, trips in the little garden train, are other activities carried out by the Railway Museum for children (school visits) and can be consulted in full in its school program, aimed at different educational stages.
Of course The Railway Museum for children is an interesting visit in Madrid, I sign up for an upcoming stay in the city. Children under four are free, from four to twelve years the entrance costs 3.56 euros and for adults 5.09 euros. Passengers on the train!
