Terra Mítica Benidorm opens its doors

New shows and exciting rides are on offer at Terra Mítica. This leisure park in Benidorm opens its doors on 16th April with a whole host of interesting new attractions.

The expanse of vegetation has tripled and a 4,500 m2 natural roof has been constructed to offer shade and rest, with a fog system which creates a pleasant microclimate.

In addition, there will be more staff on hand and the number of seats available has been increased, so visitors should not have to wait any longer than 10 minutes to go on a ride. There are also three new rides for children, and the existing attractions have been meticulously inspected and overhauled.

The entertainment area has also been completely reformed. There will be four new shows and the programme has been extended; thirty performances a day with one performance every fifteen minutes.

Furthermore, the park will be open 170 days a year, representing an increase of 20% on the previous season. Opening hours will be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., but will be extended to 10 p.m. on 21st, 22nd and 23rd April and until midnight from 15th July until 4th September.
