Quick overview

  • Ticket options: From entry tickets to PortAventura Park, to nighttime tickets, a combo of PortAventura Park and Ferrari Land, or the 3-Day 3-Park pass, you've got several options to choose from.
  • Zones & rides: PortAventura Park spans six themed areas featuring diverse attractions, including record coasters and family rides. Caribe Aquatic Park doesn't feature themes, but rather zones that include high-thrill rides, kid-friendly rides, and relaxation zones.
  • Unique experiences: PortAventura Park's nighttime live shows are a sight to behold, as are the headline rides at Ferrari Land, like Red Force.
  • Queues & access: Pre-booking your tickets prevents you from having to wait in long lines on the day of your visit. However, make sure to arrive right at opening time to completely minimize the time spent waiting in line.
  • When to book: The peak season between July and August sees massive crowds, and getting last-minute tickets can be a challenge. The same applies to weekends and school holidays. Booking at least 2-4 days in advance is your best bet.
  • Best upgrade: Opt for a 3-Day 3-Park pass to enjoy an entire day at all three parks each.
