Parque de Atracciones de Madrid
The theme park in the heart of Madrid
The Parque de Atracciones de Madrid is the Spanish capital's theme park. It's in the large Casa de Campo city park and you can get there quickly by metro. That makes a visit easy to fit into a city break. You'll find fast roller coasters, a drop tower with views over the city and Nickelodeon Land for the little ones.
What is Parque de Atracciones de Madrid?
The park opened on 15 May 1969, on the feast of San Isidro, Madrid's patron saint. It was the first park of the Parques Reunidos group, which also owns Parque Warner Madrid. According to the park, it has welcomed more than 100 million visitors since then.
You'll find more than 30 rides, music shows and meet-and-greets with Nickelodeon characters. The park is divided into four zones:
- Maquinismo: the fastest and wildest rides.
- Naturaleza: lots of greenery and the water rides.
- Tranquilidad: gentle rides and the tall Star Flyer swing ride.
- Nickelodeon Land: the children's area with SpongeBob, Dora, the PAW Patrol and the Ninja Turtles.
The Tiovivo carousel has been there since the opening.
