Mágicas Navidades Returns to Madrid: The Christmas Theme Park

Christmas in Madrid is pure magic. The streets sparkle with lights, shop windows burst into festive colour and the air fills with wonder. But there’s one place where all that magic becomes a real, unforgettable experience: Mágicas Navidades Madrid — the Christmas park in Spain — returns this year with more energy, excitement and surprises than ever before. Located in Torrejón de Ardoz, the park has become one of the most popular Christmas destinations in the Community of Madrid.

Whether you’re planning a special day with family, friends or work colleagues, this festive park has it all: attractions, shows, food, and so much more. And best of all, it’s only a few minutes from the city centre.

Why is this Madrid’s most anticipated Christmas park?

Torrejón de Ardoz, just 20 kilometres from the centre of Madrid, transforms into a genuine hub of Christmas excitement during the festive season. You have several ways to get to the park and its easy access by Renfe suburban train (Cercanías), bus or private car makes it a convenient and accessible destination for families and visitors from near and far.

The park also offers large free parking areas and special entry points for visitors with reduced mobility. Every detail is designed to make your visit comfortable, safe and seamless, avoiding crowds and long queues.

What attractions and shows will Mágicas Navidades have this year?

The line-up of attractions is nothing short of spectacular. With more than 40 options for all tastes and ages, the park offers everything from classics like the Carousel, to thrilling rides such as the Giant XXL and the Mouse Coaster.

Some unmissable highlights:

• Giant Ferris Wheel: standing 42 metres tall, it offers panoramic views of the entire park.
• Ice Rink on the Lake: the only one of its kind in Spain, designed by champion skater Javier Fernández.
• The Christmas House: where little ones can hand their letters to Father Christmas or the Three Wise Men.
• Ice Festival: ice sculptures inspired by the world of heroes and villains.
• Nut and Cracker Videomapping Show: a stunning light and music spectacle at the Magic Gate.

You’ll also find beautifully themed areas such as the Starry Forest, Advent Meninas, Lanterns of Asia and the Path to Bethlehem — all decorated with exceptional care.

Christmas Lights in Madrid: the park’s biggest attraction

One of the most impressive aspects of Mágicas Navidades is its spectacular light display. The park is illuminated by millions of LED lights, creating a truly immersive environment. Unlike the traditional Christmas lights in central Madrid, here each area of the park is designed to amaze visitors with visual effects, light choreographies and themed areas.

From the moment you step through the Magic Gate, you enter an alternative world where every corner shines. The videomapping show transforms the architecture into a moving symphony of colour and sound, making it impossible not to believe in magic again.

What can you find in the park’s food and drink area?

The park is also a paradise for food lovers. The gastronomic experience is wide and varied, with different themed areas:

• Village: food trucks, sweets and hot drinks.
• Bierhaus: German cuisine, imported beers and live shows.
• VIP Zone: a quieter, exclusive space to relax.
• Christmas Market: churros, crêpes, sandwiches and the most traditional festive atmosphere.
• Ice Festival, Lanterns of Asia, Plaza, Magic Gate, Rides & Attractions and more: each area adds its own unique culinary twist.

Whether it’s for a snack, dinner or just something warm to sip, gastronomy is at the heart of the experience — a hallmark of the park’s magic.
