Parque de Atracciones de Madrid Tickets & Visitor Guide

Parque de Atracciones de Madrid has been running since 1969 in Casa de Campo, the huge green space west of the city centre, and it remains the easiest big-ride day in the capital: 20 minutes from downtown by metro, one serious coaster line-up, and a kids’ zone built around Nickelodeon characters. It’s operated by Parques Reunidos, the same group behind Aquopolis and Madrid’s zoo, which matters for combo tickets and passes.

The single most important fact: the gate charges €44.90 while the same admission sells online from around €22.90–23.90. Nowhere else in this guide will one click save you as much per person.

Ticket Types Compared

The official shop sells several formats. Third-party platforms sell here too — Tiqets lists entry from €24 with a 4.4-star rating from over 340 reviews.

Online dated ticket

The standard money-saver: pick a date, pay from around €22.90–23.90 for anyone over 140 cm, with the same promotional pricing extending to the reduced category (100–140 cm, over-65s, large families and visitors with disabilities). Under 100 cm enters free with a paying adult [source: official prices page].

• Best for: anyone who knows their date at least a day ahead — which should be everyone.
• Skip if: your plans are genuinely volatile; the cheap tier is locked to its date.

Flexiticket / gate ticket

The undated flexible ticket and the box-office price are the same money: €44.90 general, €35.90 reduced. You’re paying roughly double for the right to decide on the day.

• Best for: unpredictable schedules, or as a gift.
• Skip if: you can commit to a date — the dated online ticket is the same park for half the cost.

Speedy Pass (queue skip)

Three tiers: Gold at €35.90 online (€42.90 bought at the park), Silver at €29, and One Shot — a single ride skip — for €6 [source: official prices page].

• Best for: hot summer weekends when Abismo and Tarántula queues stretch past 45 minutes.
• Skip if: you’re visiting on an off-peak weekday; the pass can cost more than your admission.

Bono Parques annual pass

Parques Reunidos’ Madrid pass covers this park plus the Zoo Aquarium, Faunia, Atlantis Aquarium and more, from €154 (Plata) up to €319 (Platino), with Oro tiers in between [source: official prices page]. Two or three multi-park days in a year and it starts paying for itself — a residents’ product more than a tourist one.

Combo with Aquopolis

A €44.90 combined ticket pairs the park with an Aquopolis water park day. Only sensible in summer, and only if you’d genuinely do both.

Timing Is Everything

• Quietest: weekdays outside Madrid school holidays, and the first hours of any opening day. Spring and autumn weekdays can feel half-empty.
• Busiest: July–August evenings and weekends — Madrileños come after the heat breaks — plus holiday weekends year-round.
• Summer rhythm: in high summer the park leans into late hours, often running to 22:00–23:00. The last two hours are the best ride window of the day, with short queues and cooler air.
• Best photo time: golden hour on the walkways near the Tarántula and the fountain plazas; the park’s tree cover makes midday shots flat and harsh.
• Arrival tactic: doors open at 12:00 most days — arrive for opening, clear Abismo and Tarántula in the first 90 minutes, then work outward.

How to Save

• Book online, not same-day. The single biggest saving: from ~€22.90 versus €44.90 at the gate. The online discount excludes same-day visits, so buy by the night before [source: official prices page].
• Free under 100 cm. Measure borderline kids honestly — pricing is by height, and staff do check at the gate.
• Reduced rate covers 100–140 cm kids, over-65s, large families and 33%+ disability — same online promotional pricing as adults in most sales.
• Generation Z Fridays: visitors born 1994–2012 have seen a €19.90 Friday promotion on the official site — check whether it’s live for your date.
• Skip gate-bought Speedy Pass. If you decide you want Gold, buying online saves €7 versus the in-park price.
• Multi-park locals: the Bono Parques pass beats separate tickets fast if you’d also visit the zoo or Faunia this year.

How to Get There

The park sits inside Casa de Campo, southwest of the royal palace.

• Metro: Line 10 to Batán, then a signposted 5–10 minute walk. From Sol or Gran Vía the whole trip runs about 20–25 minutes.
• Bus: lines 33 and 65 stop near the park entrance.
• Cable car alternative: the Teleférico from Paseo del Pintor Rosales crosses Casa de Campo and makes a scenic (if longer) approach — its station is a walk from the park, so treat it as an add-on, not a shortcut.
• Car: paid on-site parking off the M-30/Casa de Campo access roads; traffic out on summer nights is the main drawback.

What’s Worth Queueing For

The park groups its rides into themed zones by intensity, which makes a plan easy.

• Abismo: the signature coaster — a vertical lift into a beyond-vertical first drop. Shortest queues at opening; ride it first.
• Tornado: an inverted coaster with legroom-free loops; the second-priority thrill.
• Tarántula: a spinning coaster whose cars rotate independently — the ride photographed on this page, and the one that surprises people who “don’t do coasters”.
• Lanzadera: a high drop tower over the treeline — short cycle, so its queue moves fast.
• Los Fiordos: the flume ride with a genuinely soaking final splash; save it for the hottest hour.
• TNT Tren de la Mina: the family mine-train coaster and the best first “big” ride for kids around 120 cm.
• Nickelodeon Land: PAW Patrol and SpongeBob-themed flat rides for the under-8s, plus character meetings.
• The Walking Dead Experience: a horror walkthrough (extra intensity, not for young children) — check age guidance on the day.

One-day plan: Abismo → Tornado → Tarántula before 14:00, lunch and Nickelodeon Land through the afternoon, water rides at peak heat, then re-rides after 19:00 as the crowds thin.

Practical Notes

The park sells meal packages online (all-inclusive and express formats, plus a pizza option) that undercut buying food ad hoc — worth adding at checkout for a full day with kids. Casa de Campo’s tree cover helps, but Madrid summer afternoons are brutal: bring water bottles (fountains exist), sunscreen and a hat, and plan the 15:00–18:00 stretch around shows and shaded zones. Lockers are available near the entrance for water-ride days. In autumn the park runs a popular Halloween season with horror-themed mazes and evening hours — great for teenagers, worth avoiding with easily-scared younger kids, and busy enough that the Speedy Pass maths changes in its favour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much are Parque de Atracciones de Madrid tickets?

Online dated tickets start around €22.90–23.90 on the official site, while the box-office price is €44.90 for adults (€35.90 reduced). Children under 100 cm enter free with a paying adult. Tiqets lists entry from €24.

Is it cheaper to buy tickets online?

Much cheaper — online advance prices run at roughly half the €44.90 gate rate. The discount doesn't apply to same-day purchases, so buy at least the day before.

What are the park's opening hours?

The park usually opens at 12:00, closing between 19:00 and 22:00–23:00 depending on season and day. Outside summer it opens mainly weekends and holidays. Check the official calendar for your date.

How do I get to Parque de Atracciones de Madrid?

Metro Line 10 to Batán station, then a short walk — about 20 minutes from central Madrid. Buses 33 and 65 also stop nearby, and the park has paid on-site parking in Casa de Campo.

What is Speedy Pass and is it worth it?

It's the paid queue-skip system: Gold costs €35.90 online (€42.90 at the park), Silver €29, and a single-ride One Shot €6. Worth it on crowded summer weekends; unnecessary on quiet weekdays.

What are the best rides at Parque de Atracciones de Madrid?

Abismo's beyond-vertical first drop and the inverted coaster Tornado are the headline thrills, with the Tarántula spinning coaster, the Lanzadera drop tower and the Los Fiordos water ride close behind. Nickelodeon Land covers younger kids.

Are there height restrictions?

Pricing is height-based: under 100 cm free, 100–140 cm pays the reduced rate, over 140 cm pays adult. Individual thrill rides have their own minimum heights, typically 120–140 cm.
