Parque de Atracciones de Madrid tickets: the 2027 season in Casa de Campo

Half a century of the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid

The park opened on 15 May 1969 on land in Casa de Campo. It is still owned by Madrid City Council, while day-to-day operation is in the hands of Parques Reunidos, the group that also runs the neighbouring zoo and Faunia. It covers some 20 hectares.

The Parque de Atracciones' major 1998 overhaul

In the late 1990s the park underwent a far-reaching renovation, with an investment of around 8,000 million pesetas, which reorganised the grounds into themed areas and brought in rides that have since become its trademarks. La Lanzadera and Los Fiordos date from that period, and Tornado followed shortly afterwards in 1999.

The Parque de Atracciones, a very Madrid tradition

For many locals, the yearly trip to the park is part of growing up, and on summer nights the atmosphere feels like a giant street fair. That mix of local families and visitors from elsewhere gives it a character quite unlike the big theme parks on the outskirts.

Areas and rides at the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid

The grounds are split into several areas: Tranquilidad, with rides for the whole family; Maquinismo, where the thrill rides are concentrated; Naturaleza, home to the water rides; and a children's zone themed around cartoon characters, where the PAW Patrol ride is a highlight.

Roller coasters at the Parque de Atracciones

• Abismo (2006): a steel coaster with a vertical lift and a steep drop, the most sought-after ride among enthusiasts.
• Tarántula (2005): cars that spin around as they travel along the track.
• Tornado (1999): an inverted coaster with your feet dangling.
• TNT – Tren de la Mina (2012): a family ride and a good stepping stone for children trying coasters for the first time.

Towers and water rides at the Parque de Atracciones

La Lanzadera, a free-fall tower, and the Star Flyer, swing seats that spin at a height of around 80 metres, offer the best views over Madrid. In summer, Los Fiordos is close to compulsory: you will come off soaked. The water rides usually close during the colder months, from November to January.

Parque de Atracciones calendar: when it opens

This is the most important detail and the one that catches people out. The park works on a seasonal calendar: it opens daily in summer and during holiday periods, but from September to June there are often weekdays with no opening at all, and in the depths of winter it is usually limited to weekends and public holidays.

Changing hours at the Parque de Atracciones

Depending on the day, the gates open at 11:00 or 12:00, and closing time ranges from 19:00 to midnight on summer nights. The park itself warns that its calendar is provisional and subject to change, so always confirm it for your specific date.

Halloween and Christmas at the Parque de Atracciones

In autumn the park dresses up for Halloween, with shows and horror walk-throughs; in 2026 the season runs until 1 November and includes a new walk-through for children. December brings a festive programme with parades and shows. 2027 is expected to follow the same pattern, although exact dates are published each year.

Parque de Atracciones de Madrid tickets and prices

Prices depend on height rather than age, which is handy for families with children of different sizes.

Indicative prices, checked October 2026. The online price changes depending on the day you pick and is usually well below the gate price, so it pays to buy ahead.

What a Parque de Atracciones ticket includes

It gives unlimited access to every ride open that day and to the scheduled shows. Some extras, such as fairground games or photos, are paid for separately.

Getting to the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid

The address is Paseo de la Venta s/n, 28011 Madrid, within Casa de Campo. There are two entrances: one next to the metro and another designed for those arriving by car.

Batán metro, line 10

Batán station on line 10 is about 50 metres from the pedestrian gate. It is by far the quickest way from the centre: the journey from Plaza de España or Príncipe Pío is short.

Buses to the Parque de Atracciones

EMT lines 33 (Príncipe Pío – Casa de Campo) and 65 (Jacinto Benavente – Colonia Gran Capitán) both stop nearby.

Driving to the Parque de Atracciones

Take the A-5 Extremadura road, or the M-30 towards Badajoz, and follow the signed exit for Parque de Atracciones / Casa de Campo. On very busy days, especially in summer, the approach roads and car park get congested; the metro is the stress-free option.

Planning your day at the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid

A full day, from opening to closing, is the norm. On quieter days you can ride your favourites again; at peak times the queues for Abismo or Tarántula can stretch out considerably.

1. Arrive at opening time and go straight to the most popular ride on your list.
2. Work through Maquinismo in the morning, before the queues build.
3. Keep the middle of the day for shows or the children's zone.
4. Save the Star Flyer for sunset: the light over Madrid makes the wait worthwhile.

Height limits and rules at the Parque de Atracciones

• Each ride shows its minimum height; measure children before you join a queue to spare any disappointment.
• Loose items are not allowed on the roller coasters: leave bags and phones with someone in your group or follow the staff's instructions.
• Bring a change of clothes if you plan to ride Los Fiordos.
• Visitors with reduced mobility should ask at visitor services about the conditions for each ride.

Around the Parque de Atracciones: Casa de Campo

The park shares its surroundings with the Zoo Aquarium de Madrid, a short distance away, so anyone spending several days in the city with children can give each its own day without changing area. The Casa de Campo lake and the cable car linking Casa de Campo with Paseo del Pintor Rosales round things off nicely.

From the Parque de Atracciones to the historic centre

Line 10 gets you to Príncipe Pío quickly and, from there, to the Royal Palace. For a different kind of park, Faunia focuses on nature, while Parque Warner in San Martín de la Vega is all about film characters and big roller coasters.

Madrid in 2027: picking your season

June and September combine generous opening days with pleasant temperatures. July and August offer long evenings, but also the strongest heat and the biggest crowds.
