Mariposas Saltarinas

Mariposas Saltarinas (the jumping butterflies) is a children's ride in SésamoAventura. You sit in a colourful butterfly and pedal yourself upwards. It's one of the few rides in the park that moves thanks to your own muscle power.

The concept

A few special butterflies have landed in SésamoAventura. They love flying up and down and flapping their colourful wings, but they need your help to do it. The harder you pedal, the higher the butterfly rises.

The Experience

You decide how high you go. Keep pedalling hard and you'll rise into the air. Stop pedalling and you'll gently drift back down. Children especially love being in charge of the ride themselves.

Pedal together

Bring someone along in your butterfly. With two of you, it's easier to pedal to the top.

Take a breather at the top

The park itself offers a handy tip: rest your legs as soon as you reach the top and enjoy the flight back down.

For young children

From 1.05 metres, children can ride with an adult. That makes this one of the first "do it yourself" rides for young children.

Visitor information

From 1.30 metres, you can ride on your own. Between 1.05 and 1.30 metres, you ride accompanied by an adult. The ride is located in SésamoAventura.
