Tivoli World Theme Park
Tivoli World is a huge theme park with around 40 rides for all ages, shows/performances throughout the day varying from a mini discos and magic shows to fantastic, stunning flamenco shows and many restaurants to suit everyone's taste. Its a bit like Marmite . . . you either love it or hate it!
Tivoli World also has a large Theatre where Spanish Pop stars/Celebrities perform frequently and past shows have included Los Lunnis (Spain equivalent to the Tweenies), Maria Isabel (previous Childrens Eurovision entry) and Andy and Lucus. For future performances click here.
Our Experience at Tivoli World
We had a great time during our visits to Tivoli World when we have taken children aged between 18 months and 5 years old.
There is a whole section of rides that are for the smaller children and we were able to go on most with our baby. Then there are the bigger rides for the older children in another section, and then even bigger and better rides for us adults including bumper boats - my favourite, dodgems and the water log.
Every so often we needed a break so took a seat at one of the three theatres where a show was about to start. The first show we saw was a magician, then the next was the kids mini disco which is great fun for kids from about two years upwards. There was also a fabulous flamenco show.
The Western Square there is a replica of an Old American Western Town, where you' can experience the wild, wild west and watch Can Can shows, while enjoying a great barbecue in the Texas Grill Restaurant.
There is so much to do and see we really didn't have enough time to experience everything that was on offer so make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to make the most of it!.
When is Tivoli World open?
Tivoli World is open every day in July, August and the first week of September from 6:00pm to 02:00am which sounds very late as it is mainly for kids, but it just wouldn't be possible in the heat, and Tivoli World does look spectacular at night.
Mid September to the end of September it is only open at weekends from 16:00 until midnight.
October open only at weekends from 12 noon to 22:00
November & December only Sundays from 13:00 until midnight

How much does it cost?
To enter the park costs €6.00 per person (over 1 metre high).
Once in the park if you are going to go on the rides you need to either buy a Supertivolino, from the ticket office. This is a bracelet costing €12.00 and allows you to go on more than 38 of the rides for free. Or there are Tivolinos (which is equivalent to money) 1€ each, for rides that have to be paid for separately (mainly petrol used machines) of which there are about 5.
There is a small Discount for groups and celebrations
Tips
-
If you think you will only go on a couple of rides...my advice just by a Supertivolino for €12.00 You could pay separately each time with the tivolinos but most rides ask for at least 2 of them (€2.00). People we know who paid with tivolinos each time spent a lot more money than us and wished they just bought the bracelet (Supertivolino). If its your first time, just buy the Supertivolino at the ticket office inside the park as here are kiosks all over the park if you need the tivolinos at any time.
-
If you like the rides yourself and have little ones with you...take a set of grandparents with you or someone that will not go on any rides so they can take care of the little ones. It really is a great family day out. The more the merrier!
