The Boats at Retiro Park

On our recent trip to Madrid we met some friends for a picnic at Retiro Park.  Retiro Park is a great place to go with kids and is easy to find in the center of Madrid.

The kids were insistent that we check out the boats while at the park.   For an activity in a major city, I was suprised at how inexpensive this one was.  To rent the boats it is 5 Euros for 45 min, for up to four people.  The kids had a blast having their dads paddle them around the small lake.   Definetly a must if visiting Madrid with small kids or dads.
