Adventure Parks

Traveling to a new country is an adventure, but these theme parks add a brand new element to the thrill.

Aventura Amazonia

Madrid has two Aventura Amazonia adventure parks: Cercedilla and Pelayos. Whether you’re alone or with family or friends, these parks promise an intense experience.

Explore Fuenfría Valley in Cercedilla to discover the largest adventure park in Spain. The park has 114 games in the canopies and 33 zip lines with stellar views. Children aged six and older can get in on the action. Its seven circuits will have you leaping, soaring, and falling like our most seasoned acrobats.

Pelayos sits near the San Juan Reservoir. It offers 99 treetop games to push your body to its limit and 25 zip lines running through stunning expanses of woods. Not much compares to the freedom of weightlessness as you fly 255 meters through the trees.

De Pino a Pino Navacerrada

As much fun as exploring Madrid’s historic city streets can be, sometimes you need fresh air. Surrounded by majestic mountains and pine trees, you’ll uncover the natural beauty of Spain at De Pino a Pino Navacerrada.

Leave all hesitations behind in the parking lot and climb high into the tree line to brave zip lines, net bridges, and swinging platforms. As you jump, climb, and swing the day away, you may discover you can do much more than you thought.

Tirolinas GO!

There’s no shame in screaming as you’re propelled down zip lines or jumping from platform to platform at Tirolinas GO! in Madrid. The visceral experience of plummeting as fast as gravity can carry you tends to have that effect.

This adventure park is in Guadarrama and encompasses the Encinillas Reservoir. The reservoir is part of the experience, with a 380-m zipline over its surface available for those who dare approach it.

Here, you’ll find circuits aimed at all skill levels. Tree-to-tree circuits and zip lines keep you active and engaged as you push yourself to the limits and see how far you can get.

Amusement and Theme Parks

Whether you’re a daredevil seeking the ultimate thrill or prefer your amusement parks on the gentler side, you’ll find what you’re looking for in these Madrid amusement parks.

Parque de Atracciones

Parque de Atracciones is a park within a park. As you wander the vast green spaces of Casa de Campo, you’ll spot orange roller coaster tracks that peek out above the canopy in the distance. Screams of joy fill the air as you approach, promising fun family days.

The park features four themed zones, each offering a completely different ambiance. Children adore Nickelodeon Land and its abundance of cartoon characters ready to greet them. In Tranquilidad, zombies crawl through The Walking Dead Experience.

The 32 attractions throughout the park and the live shows culminate into an unforgettable experience.

Parque Warner Madrid

Parque Warner Madrid evokes nostalgia in those who grew up with legendary cartoon characters, such as Bugs Bunny and Yogi Bear. This theme park has five distinctive zones and offers DC superheroes, classic cartoon characters, and chances to delve into the behind-the-scenes world of movie-making.

Take a trip down memory lane as you ride through a massive picnic with Tom and Jerry on a coaster. If you like your amusement with more intensity, strap yourself into the Lex Luthor Invertatron, which relentlessly whips you around at high speeds. The Batman Gotham City Escape gives all who dare to ride it an adrenaline rush.

Of course, your favorite movie scenes wouldn’t be possible without the expert artists behind them. Our shows are the same way — they’d be impossible to put on without the immense support from backstage experts.

This park also offers a BackStage LAPD Experience, where you can experience what it's like to drive through an action-packed police chase.

Parque Warner Beach

Madrid summers might be hot, but a trip to Parque Warner Beach beats the heat. Situated next to Parque Warner Madrid, this aquatic park makes you feel like you’ve stepped into an old-school cartoon.

For the youngest children, shallow pools and splash playgrounds offer a chance to cool off. It's one of the best things to do in Madrid with kids. On the other end of the spectrum, true adrenaline rushes await on rides that send you free-falling down a wet slide or flying through rapid currents aboard a raft.

Historical Theme Park

You'll feel part of living history at this Madrid theme park.

Puy du Fou España

Nearly every street in Madrid exudes the country's rich, centuries-long history. While you could visit palaces, museums, and royal grounds, there’s another way to discover the incredible stories behind Spain’s capital city.

At Puy du Fou España, you're transported back in time, surrounded by cobbled roads, tents, and village structures. This park cultivates a dramatized rendition of Spanish life over the ages, complete with shows and four themed villages from various times.

While the shows play throughout the park during the day, the real fun begins at night. The Dream of Toledo plays in the evening, taking viewers on a 1,500-year journey across history.

This epic display of artistry has 200 actors and dazzling special effects. As weavers of artistic tales, we appreciate the effort that goes into this huge display.

The Jaguar coaster uses sharp turns and inversions to mimic the movements of the apex predator it’s named after.

Swinging pirate ships elevate the experience. As performers, we know a good show when we see one. The Guarida de los Piratas captures the frenzy of pirate life with stunts that we'd be proud to call our own.
