WISHING TREE.Another of the protagonists of our gardens is one of the large ficus trees that give access to the museum's ticket offices. There, throughout this period, anyone who comes to our facilities can hang their best wishes for the coming year from one of its branches, by means of a "wishing ball". From 14 December 2012 until 5 January 2013. Everyone who makes a wish will be entered into a draw to win a Family Friend Card, valid for one year, for free entry with all the members of your family to MARQ and its Archaeological Parks.
ROYAL BOX.We also have the privilege of having a Royal Mailbox on the steps of the MARQ foyer, where a royal emissary will deliver letters to the Three Wise Men from the East. Thus, all the little ones who visit us will be able to ask them for their presents from here. From 22 December 2012 to 5 January 2013.
EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS.Santa Pola. Archaeology and Museum. Games, guided tour of the temporary exhibition and workshops: Neolithic Printed Ceramics and Modern Age Glazed Ceramics. These workshops, aimed at children aged between 8 and 14, will take place on 26 and 27 December and will begin at 12.30 p.m.
