Not far from Alicante, 40 kilometers away, is the city of Benidorm - a tourist center. The easiest way to get there from Alicante is by train, aka tram, aka tren-tram, which travels all the way along the sea, along hills and tunnels, most paths - along the sea, with beautiful views. There are several amusement parks in Benidorm: Aqualandia - a water amusement park, Mundomar - a park of marine and exotic animals, Terra Mitica - an amusement park designed in the style of the cultures of ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean, Terra Natura- zoo.
By the way, tickets to visit the parks can be bought in various places:
Featured parks:
Great amusement park. Slightly falls short of the level of its popular competitor Port Aventura,Terra Mitica - smaller in size However, you can easily spend 2 days there: especially in the summer, when there are queues for the attractions.
The park is divided into 2 zones:
Tickets for both zones can be purchased together or separately. Each has attractions for big and small, observation decks, shows (schedules can be found on the park’s website, I especially recommend the pirate show in the Iberian sector), restaurants (mostly fast food).
Everything in the zone is decorated in accordance with its name, in the same style.
There are also quieter rides and those that will tickle your nerves; many have a limit - not by age, but by height, usually 1.40 m.
The park is located 43 km from Alicante, 465 from Madrid, 483 from Barcelona, .
How pfall into Terra Mitica:
Aqualandia - a water amusement park, quite worthy of attention. One of the largest water parks on the Costa Blanca. It has a huge amount of entertainment for every taste and whim; I would especially like to emphasize the presence of attractions for the little ones, for children aged 3 years and older. The pool with large “Atlantic” waves, geysers, water jumps, bungee jumps, beaches, grottoes, caves, a pool with sea lions and much more attracts attention. The water in the pools and on the attractions is sea water (the park itself is located near the seashore).
An unpleasant surprise is that in addition to paying for tickets, you may encounter other additional expenses:
Schedule:
