If the experience of the pools in Madrid is not enough for you, you need the adrenaline and the nostalgia of having been a happy child invades you, it is the best time to take a look at the water parks in Madrid.
Thanks to Madrid’s obsession with the lack of beach (although our lakes and rivers can fill the void) some spaces have been created that offer worthy alternatives to water sports and activities such as these:
1. Aquopolis in Villanueva de la Cañada.
Aquopolis is one of the largest water parks in Europe and, without a doubt, the most famous in Madrid. The season opens on June 14, and usually ends in the first weeks of September. Among its summer attractions is the white sand beach of two thousand square meters accompanied by a pool with waves, in addition to its iconic slides.
Its attractions are divided into High Excitement, Moderate and children’s rides, so if you are not ready for powerful adrenaline rushes, you can easily choose the milder ones or just take a dip in the pool.
Location: Avenida Dehesa, s/n (Villanueva de la Cañada)
💸 Adult ticket: from 29’90 €.
2. Warner Beach Park
In one of the most emblematic amusement parks in Madrid could not miss its summer version. Warner has since June 17 with Warner Beach Park. A space of 40,000m2 with attractions, restaurants, rest areas and stores. A refreshing plan to enjoy the summer with friends or family in attractions such as Playa Malibu, The Big Wave, Rio Loco or ¡Todos al agua, ideal for the little ones.
Location: A-4, exit 22 (San Martín de la Vega)
Entrance fee: 29,90 €.
3. Amusement Park
The Parque de Atracciones is one of those places where childhood memories are forged when you have grown up in the capital. And although the great classics are the roller coasters Abismo, Tornado, Vertigo or La Lanzadera, in summer other attractions steal the show.
Los Fiordos combines simplicity and water, with just the right amount of excitement: it is a boat that descends through the water at great speed, from which it is almost impossible to come out dry. El Aserradero follows a similar scheme, with the same success. And finally there is The Rapids: the boat this time takes a cylindrical shape and the rough water leads you at its mercy. The silly laughter lasts all the way.
Location: Casa de Campo, s/n
💸Adult ticket : 39,90 €
4. Wakeboard Center Madrid
This park is far from the classic concept of water park, but no less interesting for that. Located in Los Ángeles de San Rafael, its leisure offer ranges from cableski to jet skis, blob jump or wakeboard, flyboard, canoes, paddle, surfing … The area is equipped with two restaurants: the pizzeria La Cabaña and Nassau Bar Music, which has live music performances by DJs and chill-out terrace.
Location: Avenida de Venecia, s/n (Los Ángeles de San Rafael).
Price : from 15 €.
5. Honna Surf Hub
Madrid doesn’t have a beach, but it does have a place to dust off your surfboard. Because, although it may not seem like it, there is surfing in Madrid thanks to places like Honna Surf Hub. Those addicted to waves and those who want to start catching them (but are inhabitants of the plateau) have a space in the X-Madrid shopping center, which also has a diving and apnea center.
Location: Oslo street, 53 (Alcorcón).
Price: one session from 39,90 €.
