Welcome to our guide to the theme park of Terra Mitica in Benidorm on Spain’s Costa Blanca.
Theme parks have become all the rage to have a family day out and Benidorm is blessed with FIVE of them!
Why Retirement is a Terrible Idea (And What to Do Instead)...
For 30 years, I built businesses with one goal in mind: the finish line. Like many, I pictured the classic dream—moving to Spain, soaking up the sun, and finally switching off. But now that I’m here, I’ve started questioning everything.Watch the video below and let me know in the comments: are you ready to retire or are you ready to reinvent?
Benidorm is blessed with long hot summers with little rain and maximum enjoyment can be had at the famous Terra Mitica theme park.
Terra Mitica is an ancient world theme park with rides, roller coasters and live entertainment.
You will find the theme park located on the hillside just outside of Benidorm and it is easily accessed from the AP7 or the N332.
Once inside the park there is something for everyone. As most people come to enjoy the roller coasters and the altitude rides where you can enjoy getting wet.
There are also mini versions for the smaller younger visitors, who are measured before each ride for height.
To make sure you choose a dry and sunny day to visit Terra Mitica checkout Benidorm’s weather forecast before you go.
Benidorm itself is located on the Northern Costa Blanca in Spain. To take a vacation in Benidorm flights would have to be booked either to Valencia, Murcia or Alicante – all within a 90 drive from Terra Mitica.
While in Spain you have to hire a car to enjoy all that the Costa Blanca has to offer as everything is spread out and local bus services are limited, or alternatively you can drive your own car to Spain from the U.K. to avoid paying for car hire.
Attractions and Rides
Terra Mitica is an ancient world theme park based on five civilizations featuring shows and rides.
The first civilization is Rome with its gladiators, Iberia Park, Ancient Greece, Egypt and The Islands.
The Terra Mitica park is not open all year round (see exact opening times below).
Families really enjoy the Rapids of Argos where you float down the rapids and most people in the raft get soaking wet!
There are 15 children’s rides which are exact replicas of the scarier adult rides so they don’t feel like they are missing out on the fun.
There are so many rides at the park that it is hard to do them all in one day. If you can, take your time and at the end when you leave they give you another days admission for just €8.
When you enter the park you will immediately enter the world of ancient Egypt with its pyramids and the river Nile.
You can take a cruise from Alexandria towards Iberia with a view of all the fantastic rides or you can go straight to the first ride of the Nile Waterfalls. This ride takes place inside a log flume with a twenty meter forward drop not for the faint hearted!
When leaving your boat from the Egyptian docks at El Moll there are a great variety of rides in Iberia including Crazy Cars where the cars have been replaced by bulls, cows and sheep.
