Isla Mágica is Seville's theme park, on the Isla de la Cartuja beside the River Guadalquivir. Next to the theme park is the water park Agua Mágica. On these pages you can read all about the rides, the shows, the food, the water park, staying in Seville and how to get there.
Discover Isla Mágica
What kind of park is it?
Isla Mágica takes you back to the age of the great voyages of discovery, the 16th and 17th centuries. Seville was then the gateway to the New World: this is where ships set sail for the Americas and returned laden with silver and gold. The park opened in 1997 and celebrates its thirtieth birthday in 2027.
The big rides are the suspended coaster Jaguar, the 68-metre drop tower El Desafío and the water rides Iguazú and Anaconda. Even so, it's above all a family park, with plenty of rides for children from 85 or 90 centimetres, a whole series of shows and the balloon Nao Vigía, which takes you up to 150 metres above the city.
Six worlds to discover
The park has six themed areas around a large lake:
- Sevilla, Puerto de Indias: the port of Seville in the 16th century, with the entrance, El Desafío and the ships.
- Puerta de América: the Fuerte de San Felipe and the city of Cartagena de Indias, with Anaconda and El Tren del Potosí.
- Amazonia: the rainforest with the Iguazú waterfalls and the Jaguar coaster.
- La Guarida de los Piratas: the pirates' hideout, with Isla Calavera.
- La Fuente de la Juventud: the fountain of eternal youth, with the rides for the youngest visitors.
- El Dorado: the lost city, with the Rápidos del Orinoco.
Opening times:
The 2026 season ran from 11 April to 8 November inclusive: mainly at weekends in spring and autumn, and daily in summer. In summer the park opens at 12:00 and closes at 23:00. Agua Mágica was open from late May to mid-September.
Prices:
A day ticket for Isla Mágica costs €39.90 at the gate, and €28.90 for children from 90 to 130 centimetres and over-60s. Online in advance you pay from €24.90 and €20. Under 90 centimetres go free (as of November 2026).
Staying overnight:
Isla Mágica has no hotel of its own. The park recommends a range of hotels in and around Seville, a few of them within walking distance. The closest is the Barceló Renacimiento, 650 metres away.
A park in the heart of the city
Isla Mágica is on the Isla de la Cartuja, the peninsula where the Expo '92 world's fair was held in 1992. The park is right in the city: according to the park, it's a five-minute walk from the entrance to Seville's historic centre. The airport is about ten minutes' drive away.
That makes the park an easy day out during a city break or holiday in Andalusia. From the top of El Desafío and from the basket of Nao Vigía you look out over the rooftops of Seville.
Shows all day long
Shows are a big part of Isla Mágica. In 2026 there were ten performances, from pirate battles on a ship in Leyendas del mar to birds of prey flying over your head in Crónicas de Pigafetta. After dark the day ends with Despertar de los guardianes on the lake, with fireworks.
In autumn the park celebrates Halloween, with haunted experiences and evening openings. Read more on the Shows page.
Buy online
Buying online in advance makes a ticket a good deal cheaper than at the gate. The earlier you buy, the lower the price. Tickets are for a fixed date.
No outside food
You can't bring outside food and drink into the park, though a bottle of water is allowed. You can leave your lunch in a locker at the entrance.
Mind the heat
Seville gets very hot in summer. Bring water, seek out the shade and plan the water rides and Agua Mágica for the hottest part of the day.
