Thus, we have prepared a compilation of plans for Easter with low cost children and close. So you only have to worry about packing your bags and enjoying yourself.
Dinopolis Teruel
If you have ever wondered what life was like on Earth millions of years ago, you cannot miss Dinopolis. A theme park dedicated to dinosaurs unique in Europe that since it opened its doors in 2001 has attracted millions of people thanks to the successful combination of leisure and science.
Entering Dinópolis means taking a trip back in time to prehistory. The adventure begins in the montage "Travel in Time" where the origin of the Earth and the dinosaurs are explained to us with the help of special effects and animatronic creatures that come out to meet us and even give us a little scare. The attraction "The Last Minute" tries to answer the question of the extinction of the dinosaurs and what happened on Earth afterwards. In the show "T-rex", a Tyrannosaurus Rex is recreated with the help of technology with great realism whose roar will leave you petrified. You cannot miss either the Dinopolis museum where you will find interesting dinosaur fossils and other Jurassic creatures.
In addition, this 2016 Dinópolis celebrates its 15th anniversary and wants to celebrate it by inviting all those who were born in 2001 to a life card to enter Dinópolis Territory for free throughout their lives.
Route of the Faces in Cuenca
The Route of the Faces is located on the shores of the Buendía Reservoir, in a place known as La Peninsula (Cuenca) in which pine forests and sandstone stones abound. In recent times it has become especially popular with walkers thanks to the huge 18 sculptures and bas-reliefs found here.
The sculptures of the Route of the Faces break the line marked by museums to extol the relationship between art and nature based on spiritual reflection, since they present a certain mystical character. Some of the most impressive sculptures that can be seen during the route are 'La Monja', 'El Beethoven de Buendía', 'El Chamán', 'La Dama del Pantano' or 'La Calavera'. However, there are many more to contemplate along the way. Doing the complete tour will take us about an hour walking.
The Cuenca town of Buendía has many attractions for lovers of gastronomy, culture and nature. Buendía has a medieval essence that is reflected in its wall. The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción leads the architectural complex of the Plaza Mayor. This temple remains closed except for a liturgical act, so to visit it it is necessary to make a reservation at the tourist office. Admission is free. On the other hand, another focus of interest is the remains of the Castle of Buendía and the Museum of La Botica.
Ratoncito Pérez House Museum in Madrid
The legend of the Tooth Fairy tells that this endearing rodent takes care of collecting the small milk teeth of the children when they fall out to leave them a coin in exchange under the pillow.
The Ratoncito Pérez has its origin in the imagination of the religious Luis Coloma who invented a story with the mouse as the protagonist to calm King Alfonso XIII as a child after losing one of his milk teeth. According to legend, the mouse lived in a building on Arenal Street in Madrid, next to Puerta del Sol and very close to the Palacio de Oriente.
