Casita Museo de Raton Perez
About
The Casita Museo de Ratón Pérez is a whimsical miniature museum located in the heart of Madrid, tucked inside the historic Arenal 8 commercial gallery. It brings to life the beloved Spanish children’s character, Ratón Pérez, with a carefully curated reproduction of his humble home – complete with a candy box, a mailbox, and rooms where his family – mother Katalina and three children – are lovingly represented. The museum’s narrative explains the origins of Ratón Pérez and his adventures, guiding visitors through interactive displays and original artifacts that turn a simple tale into a memorable, sensory journey. Ideal for families, school groups, and anyone with an interest in children’s literature, the Casita offers a relaxed 40‑minute tour that captures the charm of the story while allowing kids to explore the whimsical environment at their own pace. The museum’s friendly staff provide a warm welcome, ensuring that both young and older visitors can connect with the legend in a hands‑on, engaging setting. Open daily—Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 14:30 and again from 16:30 to 20:30, and Saturdays to Sundays from 10:30 to 20:30—this enchanting venue invites you to experience a unique blend of folklore and family‑friendly entertainment in one of Madrid’s most iconic locations.
