At any hour of the day, the Parque del Retiro guarantees excitement. Street performers, such as jugglers and fortune tellers, entertain crowds. The Museo del Ejercito, located in the Parque, is dedicated to Spain's military history. Christopher Columbus's cross, which he had when he found the New World, is displayed in the museum. In warmer seasons, visitors enjoy boat rides in Retiro's lakes.
"I love El Parque de Retiro because you can row boats on the pond and my friends and I love to have picnics there on nice days. Festival days are fun too because there are lots of entertainers and vendors out and tons of people walking around. Very fun!" -Jaclyn M., Trinity University
