Hi there,

we fly out this Sunday and have 2 kids (7rs and 3yrs), from reading reviews I'm assuming that rides at the park will have huge queues...about how long (in time!) will we be looking at for the rides?

Apart from the park do you know of anywhere to go in the evening for a good family night out?

What were the best places you visited?

Thankyou :)

hi
i would definatly not go to the theme park during the day far to hot and queues far to long go in the evening say 7 the sun is going down then andd so is the queues. we never really did much in the evenings went to theme park four nights and some days we did trips which went into the evenings then after that we had a shower and went out for a meal by then we were all tired and went to bed.
we went to the water park in la pineda if you get a kids meal from mcdonalds which is on sea front you will get your kids into water park free
my advice to you would be do what you can at nights as you will enjoy it more as its very hot during the day we even went to the beach at 6 in the evening and it was still very hot wish we had went at about 8 there are plenty family bars with entertainment for nights we also did our shopping in the evenings to whcih was better dont worry you will soon fill your nights you can go pony riding go kartings barcelona and more questions just ask
regards

Up until 2nd September the park is open until Midnight, and closes with a fantastic firework show, every night at 11:45.

Hi
We went to Port Aventura twice. Don't go on the weekend tho - it's really busy cos all the locals go there on their day off. We were automatically given express tickets but they were pointless as you had to get a stamp for the ride an hour before you want to go on it, then go back in an hour and go straight to the front of the queue. Most of the time the queues were only 15-20 minutes. It may be longer now tho, all the local kids aer off school too.

We went to Port Aventura between 14th - 28th July this year. We found the daytime very busy and the evenings much better. Sunday evening was the quietest.

Going to salou , we have wristbands for the park from other people who stayed in the onsite hotel and we are just wondering can we use them still for fastpass like they did
