A visit to one of Madrid’s amusement parks usually includes a walk through some of our best childhood memories. We return as adults to remember them or to create them new with the little ones that now accompany you.
Adrenaline, immersion in different stories that take us away from reality or our time, and simple fun make theme parks one of the pillars of today’s leisure.
1. Parque de Atracciones de Madrid
The Amusement Park is one of those places where childhood memories are forged when you have grown up in the capital, no doubt this is one of the plans in Madrid to be done sooner or later.
The park’s main attractions are the roller coasters Abyss, Tornado, Vertigo and other classics such as The Shuttle, Star Flyer or Tarantula. In addition, the 2023 season will see the return of The Walking Dead Experience. Those brave enough to dare will travel inside the most mythical scenes of the series, such as the Governor’s house, Terminus Station, the prison or even the hospital where it all begins, while the zombies advance.

Aquopolis is one of the largest water parks in Europe and is undoubtedly the most famous in Madrid. In addition, seven new attractions were launched last summer. It stands out for its two thousand square meters of white sand beach and its iconic slides.
The ideal plan during the summer months to face the dry Madrid heat in an alternative way. Its attractions are divided into High Thrill, Moderate and kiddie rides, so if you are not ready for powerful adrenaline rushes, you can easily choose the gentler ones or the wave pool.

Its 12,000 square meters are designed for educational leisure, with 30 themed spaces where they learn social norms while they play.
To enjoy the leisure activities, the little citizens will have to work and earn Eurix, Micropolix’s own currency. For a few hours, they will become firefighters, journalists, architects, doctors, stockers and a long etcetera.

You could say it’s the ultimate immersive experience: it has four themed stories – the Andalusian, the venta, the puebla and the arrabal – to put you in the right situation, a variety of shows, stalls and workshops. Here we open the doors to a world that will test our knowledge of the medieval past.
