NAVIDAD
Una de las instalaciones deI Festival Internacional de Esculturas de Hielo o Ice Festival de las ‘Mágicas Navidades’, el parque temático navideño de Torrejón.AYUNTAMIENTO DE TORREJÓN
No sin mi parque temático de Navidad parece ser el lema de las primeras fiestas postpandemia en la Comunidad de Madrid. Hasta ahora, Torrejón de Ardoz era el único municipio de la región que organizaba un evento para niños a lo grande, más allá de los mercadillos, trenecitos o recogidas de cartas a papá Noel o a los Reyes que suelen poner en marcha todos los municipios por estas fechas. A las Mágicas Navidades de Torrejón, que este año cumple su 14ª edición con muchas novedades, se suman Árticus, la apuesta de la capital en los terrenos de la Casa de Campo, y Navidalia, en Getafe, que pretende ser el referente de toda la zona sur. A continuación, una guía práctica de estas grandes ferias de ocio infantil y familiar para la navidad 2022-2023, con toda la información útil para visitarlos: días de apertura, horarios, precios, atracciones, espectáculos, dónde aparcar, dónde comer…
Plano de esta edición de las ‘Mágicas Navidades’ de Torrejón.
En Torrejón de Ardoz se toman muy en serio la Navidad, tanto que está declarada Fiesta de Interés Turístico regional. Desde hace 14 años, celebra sus ya famosas Mágicas Navidades, que se han convertido en el parque temático de la Navidad más grande de España, según el Ayuntamiento. Este año, abrieron sus puertas en el recinto ferial del municipio el pasado 18 de noviembre y cerrarán el 6 de enero de 2023, por lo que la única de las tres propuestas que ya está operativa. Su horario general es de 12.00 a 00.00, aunque algunos días se reduce de 17.00 a 23.00. Estará cerrado los días 28 noviembre, el 12, 19, 24 y 31 de diciembre y el 5 de enero.
Por segundo año, se cobra un precio simbólico por entrar al recinto de entre 2 y 4 euros por entrar según el día, mientras que las atracciones van a aparte, bien comprando tiques sueltos ―desde los 2 a los 7 euros― o pulseras todo incluido dentro del propio recinto, así como los espectáculos. Los días 23 y 30 de noviembre, y 14 y 21 de diciembre el acceso es gratuito. Tampoco tienen que pagar los vecinos de Torrejón. Los tiques es mejor comprarlos on line y no arriesgarse a ir hasta allí sin entrada garantizada. Además, aunque hay taquillas en los cuatro puntos de información y acceso, solo se podrán adquirir si hubiera aforo y con un suplemento de 2 euros.

Una vez más, los parques temáticos de España se visten de gala para celebrar la Navidad por todo lo alto. Espectáculos, nuevas atracciones, recorridos llenos de magia e intensas aventuras os aguardan en los parques más icónicos de la península. Sin duda, se trata de un plan perfecto para disfrutar las navidades en familia de una manera diferente y divertida. Para facilitarte la decisión, os proponemos algunas de las sorpresas para la Navidad que han preparado varios parques españoles.
Este complejo de atracciones se ha vestido de gala para darle la bienvenida a la Navidad.
Desde el mes de noviembre y hasta el 6 de enero ha sumado una serie de actividades muy divertidas a sus atracciones estrellas en Mediterrania, Polynesia, México, Far West, China y SésamoAventura. De hecho, si visitáis el parque en esta temporada no solo podréis disfrutar de las montañas rusas, Shambhala y Furius Baco, las montañas rusas más altas y rápidas de Europa, de las sillas voladoras, rituales giratorios y viajes marítimos sino que también podréis formar parte de los espectáculos que se celebran cada jornada.
Uno de sus mayores reclamos en esta Navidad es el espectáculo “Christmas Family Festival” en SésamoAventura, donde los más pequeños pueden participar durante toda la jornada de juegos, bailes y la música. También os aguarda “Una Navidad entre las estrellas”, un espectáculo en el que el Gran Teatro Imperial de China se convierte en la casa de Papá Noel y confeccionan los juguetes para los niños al ritmo de la música y las acrobacias. Y para los que prefieran las peripecias sobre el hielo llega el espectáculo en Far West, “Dreaming on Ice”, un show puramente navideño a cargo de excelentes patinadores.
Uno de los parques temáticos más emblemáticos de España no podía pasar por alto la Navidad. Por eso, ha preparado una intensa cartelera de actividades para que toda la familia y, en especial, los más pequeños puedan disfrutar de esta temporada junto a algunos de sus personajes animados favoritos como Bugs Bunny, el Gato Silvestre, el Pato Lucas y Piolin. Una de las atracciones estrella es la Fábrica de Juguetes, en el mismo corazón de Old West Territory, para que los pequeños puedan desvelar los secretos de la fábrica de Papá Noel en Laponia, en el mismísimo Polo Norte, donde se confeccionan los juguetes para los niños de todo el mundo. Será un recorrido divertido y lleno de magia que seguramente adorarán.
También tendrán la oportunidad de visitar el Bosque Animado: Mágica Navidad, un recorrido en el que podrán visitar de la mano de los dibujos animados el refugio de la Reina de las Nieves, un antiguo castillo encantado y la casita de la malvada bruja Hazel.
Los más pequeñitos estarán encantados con el refugio de Papá Noel y los 3 Reyes Magos y con los diversos espectáculos navideños que proponen cada jornada. Y para los que prefieren el Séptimo Arte, en Polar Express 3D podrán disfrutar de numerosas aventuras cinematográficas.
Este parque de atracciones no ha querido pasar por alto la Navidad y una vez más ha estrenado una cartelera navideña que estará activa hasta el próximo 5 de enero. Este año su atracción estrella es el espectáculo “¿Quién robó la Navidad?” en el que podréis disfrutar de pegadizas canciones y bailes navideños que animan a bailar a todos los niños. No obstante, una de las atracciones que más ilusión les hará a los pequeños es la Casa de Papá Noel, donde podrán ver a este personaje y entregarle su carta en la mano.
También hay actividades de pintacaras en Maquillaje Infantil de Navidad, donde los estilistas profesionales cambiarán por completo el rostro de los más pequeños haciendo que luzcan como verdaderos enanitos navideños.
Por supuesto no podían faltar los espectáculos de animación como “Christmas Soul Live” y “Monster High Big Boo Fashion Show”, un derroche de música, bailes y canciones. Y para cerrar con broche de oro el paseo podréis disfrutar del impresionante “Christmas Laser Show”, un espectáculo de láser y sonidos que os dejará boquiabiertos.
Summer is coming soon, which means it’s time for vacations. Let’s talk about amusement parks in Spain. I must say that in Spain there are quite a lot of such parks: theme parks, water parks, amusement parks, all kinds of dolphinariums and natural parks. All these places are usually located near resort towns. During the high season, there are many Spaniards themselves in the resorts and parks.
The park is the hallmark of the country. Port Aventura is an entire entertainment industry that includes Port Aventura, Caribe Aquatic Park and 5 hotels with camping areas.
PortAventura itself is practically “Around the world in 1 day”. The park is built on the principle of five geographical zones: the Mediterranean, Polynesia, China, Mexico, and the Wild West. Each zone has its own color, its own architecture, its own clothes for employees.
In the “Mediterranean” zone there is a high-speed catapult Furius Baco and the North Station (Estació del Nord). Sitting on the train, you can explore the entire territory of the park. Fireworks are also held here.
“Polynesia” includes boats falling from waterfalls, a tropical bird show and a Sea Odyssey 4D cinema with motion simulators built into the seats.
The Wild West is the park’s largest area, where you can raft on a log waterslide or ride the Stampida, a wooden roller coaster. In the Saloon, the visitor is waiting for a show with cancan, Indians and cowboy fights.
In the “Mexico” zone there is an attraction – Hurakan Condor, a 100-meter pillar surrounded by the ruins of the pyramids of ancient civilizations, from which the “victim” in the chair falls down in 3 seconds.
Visitors also have access to the abandoned El Diablo mine and a Mexican canteen with songs and dances.
The “China” zone is rich in the scariest attractions: Shambala – 5 ups and downs 1650 meters long, and Dragon Khan – a high-speed roller coaster with 8 loops, reaching speeds of up to 110 km / h.
Ticket price: adult – 45€; child – 39€. Combo tickets (3 days): Port Aventura + Caribe Aquatic Park adult – 79€; child – 64€.
There are also many seasonal discounts: discount booklet for the Bus Turistic sightseeing bus, flyers in hotels, buying a ticket at the railway ticket office at full price, but with free passage to the park.
At the highest point in Barcelona, on the slopes of Mount Tibidabo, one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe is located. At an altitude of more than 500 m above sea level, under the walls of the Sacred Heart Cathedral, you can find an observation tower, carousels, water slides, a Ferris wheel, visit the deserted “hotel” with ghosts Krüeger Hotel, watch a puppet show and see the Correfoc procession before the park closes on a weekend (“Cercavila”) with street performers, circus performers and fireworks.
You can get to Tibidabo Park from Barcelona by bus or by funicular from the city (7.70 €).
Ticket price: 28.5€ adult. Children (up to 1.2 m) – 10.3 €. Up to 90 cm and over 60 years old – admission is free. By the way, there is a special price for people over 60 in all theme parks and most often equals a children’s ticket.
A 20-minute drive from Madrid, in the suburbs of San Martin de la Vega, there is a theme park founded by the famous film company Warner Bros. Like Port Aventura, Movie World is made up of five zones inspired by the main genres of the film industry: Hollywood Boulevard, Film World Studios, Superhero World, Cartoon Village, Old West Territory. A quarter of the park: picturesque landscaped gardens and recreation areas with themed fountains and lagoons. Each of the zones has its own rides (including night ones), restaurants, themed shops and much more, all kinds of performances and light and music shows are arranged.
Ticket price: adult – 39.9€, child – 29.90€. When buying online, tickets are much cheaper and cost 25.9 €.
A favorite place for the inhabitants of the capital, the former royal hunting grounds, the vast and very green park of Casa de Campo is located in the forested area of the quarter of the same name. The territory of the park is also famous for its very rich fauna, whose representatives can be seen both simply on the paths of the park and in the zoo, which is part of it.
In addition to the zoo, there is an aquarium with dolphins, an amusement park, playgrounds, restaurants and a theater. The amusement park is divided into five thematic areas: Cars (Maquinismo), Peace (Tranquilidad), Main Street (Gran Avenida), Nature (Naturaleza), Children’s area (Infantil). Among the attractions you can find almost everything: dizzying swings that rotate around the axis, and roller coasters with incredible loops and turns, and water slides, and even an attraction that imitates rafting on inflatable rafts.
In the southern part of the park there is an artificial lake with a fountain. You can swim on it on a boat or just swim.
You can reach the park by the Teleférico cable car, which in itself is a great attraction: a ten-minute ride with pleasant music over Madrid will leave a lot of impressions. The fare is from 4 €. Children under 3 years old – free of charge.
Ticket price: adult €31.90, child €24.90. Less than 100 cm – free of charge.

In addition to slides, carousels, swings and all kinds of “tornadoes”, here you can also see theatrical shows. These are not just performances stylized as an era, but rather rituals and legends of ancient cultures. Spectators not only watch the performances of artists, but are also involved in the show, becoming direct participants in the action.
In the middle of the park there is a large lake, symbolizing the Mediterranean Sea. The lake can be crossed by passenger schooners and merchant ships. These ships, which symbolize the development of seafaring in the Mediterranean Sea, simultaneously deliver visitors to any of the five zones of the park. Also in the park there are restaurants, cafes and shops.
Ticket price: adult – 35€, child – 26.5€. Children 0-5 years old are admitted free of charge.
Approximately 70 km from Alicante, the Aitana Safari Park is located: a large area divided into two zones, pedestrian and car, about 7 km. In the automotive zone, you can meet both relatively safe herbivores and predators. Since the animals are in nature, you can go out and get closer to the giraffes, but in the zone of lions and tigers you can’t even open a window. In the pedestrian zone there are small animals: monkeys, ferrets, raccoons, parrots and cubs of lions playing right next to you.
Feeding animals is prohibited, but some species are allowed (food is sold at the entrance). However, in pursuit of a treat, animals can harm your car, so you should be careful with feeding.
Ticket price: adult – 20€, children from 4-12 – 16€.
Petting zoo, spread over 36 hectares of land in the vicinity of Benidorm. Animals living here are in a habitat that is as close to natural as possible, i.e. without barriers, nets and gratings.

The park is divided into five thematic zones: Pangea, America, Asia, Mare Nostrum and Europe, each of which represents the inhabitants of these particular regions of the Earth, as well as examples of architecture and culture of the peoples inhabiting them.
There are attractions in the park. For example, the Bird of Prey Challenge (four hundred-meter “flight” on a cable car over the habitat of elephants), Copaltenango (“colonial” town from Central America) or Kalicameni (“piece” of the Greek village, on the streets of which folklore performances are held).

The water in the pool is desalinated and always warmed up to +24.

up to six are admitted to Loro Parque free of charge.
Loro Parque in Tenerife is the second creation of the Kisling family. Initially, Loro Park was conceived as a parrot park and occupied 1.3 hectares in the northern part of the island. But over time, it has grown 10 times, becoming a huge green reserve for more than 4 thousand colorful parrots, as well as a home for the owners of Loro Park and Siam Park, the Kisling family. Their house is located right in the middle of the park, next to the restaurants. Here you can also throw bread into a pond with Japanese carps, look at huge gorillas, go to a fur seal show, visit the Antarctic zone, where penguins live in ice and snow, and an 18-meter tunnel with sharks. However, for 10 years now, not parrots, but ocean killer whales have become the hallmark of the park. Shows with them attract the most attention, and they even changed the logo of the park for them.
Killer whales are huge predators with character, so each time the performance is different, but it causes constant delight of the public. Especially when the killer whale swims up to the side and begins to douse the front rows with water with its tail.
Ticket price: adult 33€; children from 6 to 11 years old – 22€.
