- Angel M1 contributionVery cool experience and would recommend having people try it out! I went with friends and we all had a great time with the instructor and staff.Written 16 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jorge SAngra do Heroísmo, Portugal25 contributionsThe park is good, although structurally a bit tired. We were there on a wednesday, mid-august, and there were not many people. It opens at noon, but you will do yourself a favor if you have lunch first and go a bit later, avoiding peak heat.
If you want to eat inside, you can take food and drinks, there is a picnic area with lots of shade. You can also have lunch at the restaurant, mainly fast food.
Top tip: if you like Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, etc., buy the freestyle cup with your lunch, it will be cheaper that way. You can refill the cup (0,5l) once every 60 minutes. It's really worth it if you're planning on staying until closing time (22:00).
Another tip: during summer, dress lightly and get ready to be soaking wet in some of the rides. The Rapidos is great fun!
If you have kids, Nickelodeon Land will keep them entertained for hours. Adults have rollercoasters, spinning chairs, high rise and fall... for those with guts.
Finally: if you are not from Madrid and rely on a GPS app to get around, take the subway, even if you have a car! It gets you right to the gate of the park. We had to drive through a very long tunnel, GPS signal was lost most of the time and messed with our minds the rest of it because Google Maps couldn't tell we were on a tunnel and kept directing us according to the roads above.
We got there, yes, but it got a bit stressful.Written 24 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They overcharged us saying the brands we ordered weren’t in the promotion. Bad faith in the advertising and awful in the client service.Written 17 December 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- José Pedro P1 contributionHighly recommend the bunker especially with Irene who made our experience amazing. Very into character and with a good balance of tips to avoid frustration but not making it too easy.Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Parnaudeau M4 contributionsA very amazing experience. The game are very fluid and the graphism so cool. A thing to try once at least once in a life.
Special thanks to the team that are so gentle and very friendly (fluent english for those that dont speak spanish)Written 2 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Had heard of this microteatro and went on our layover in Madrid. We purchased 3 plays and were all amazing!
Will definitely be back!
All the actors were very talented and in “Juguetes Perdidos” had the audience interact
It was all very entertaining.Written 1 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Andrew S19 contributionsKarting was really good. Staff were super friendly and spoke great English. Track was fun to drive and I like that it transitioned between indoor and outdoor. As a large person, there were no suits that fit me properly and was uncomfortable to wear so probably won't be as fun if you are someone who is a larger person.Written 12 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Javi1 contributionI arrived once the fist in the day as they just opened and the toilets were unclean. When I pointed to the staff guy he said it wasn't his fault that it should have been cleaned the day before and they just left the whole place unclean I bet for the rest of the day.
İt's not difficult to see once you are there that nobody cleans much.
Apart from that, the place is good fun :)Written 22 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - elliso2610 contributionsThis was amazing!!!!
The staff were amazing, really made our visit special. We were a hen do that went and they made our trip so much fun.
Throughout the hour we booked they brought over more-and-more weapons to throw at the target, working our way through short axes, ninja stars, batterangs, tomahawks and "zombie killers".
They also set challenges and games for us to play. It was a great atmosphere!
You can buy drinks (wine/beer/soft drinks) which were super cheap. They also brought over free crisps and we won a round of free drinks too.
They let us stay for an extra hour as they had free slots!!
100% recommend!Written 19 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - erikagerr1 contributionIn a small street in Madrid, you find Sunset 80, a classic proposal, but different from all the fashion clubs. His sign announces "welcome to the 80´s" and another sign on the door clarifies that you will not listen to reggaeton or commercial music. It is very well attended, prices are reasonable.

- maybelater18London, UK196 contributionsI am a low-level intermediate skier and my 20 year old daughter had never skied before. We left our hotel in Las Rozas (25mins out from Madrid) at 0630 on Friday Saturday and Sunday morning. We were in the Valdesqui car park by 0730 and among the first 20 cars there. We started the queue for ski hire - which opened at 0830 and were among the first on the slopes which open at 0900. If you turn up at 0900 you will see the worlds longest and most disorganised queue!! On day one even though we were in the skischool queue at 0845 we had missed all the available ski school slots. We got one for my daughter on day two.
Do not try to go up after midday for an afternoon session. We left Valdesqui at 1230 on Sunday and the traffic coming up as we went down was jammed for c.8miles!!
The positives:
- when the car park is full they close the road in so there is a limit to number of skiers on the slopes and the slopes were never over crowded
- the blues and greens are PERFECT for beginners and intermediates getting their 'ski legs' back. The pistes were in excellent condition even in sunny weather
- their are great views from the top (we had amazing weather)
- you can ski from 0900 til 1600 and still be back in Madrid for a beer before the sun sets (we did this twice!)
- I'm no expert but I thought the quality of skis and boots was pretty good.
- this is a great place to learn once you get on the slopes if you have a patient partner/friend who can help you.
The negatives:
- if you're not prepared to go early then do not bother unless you are happy to stand in slow moving lines for a couple of hours. If you're early you'll have to wait for 45 mins but you'll be on the slopes while everyone else is still scrambling for ski hire.
- you can only hire equipment for one day at a time so you have to do the whole process of queueing each day.
- it is a slow process getting skis and passes - you have to queue for everything. Nothing is state-of-the-art. All very old fashioned.
- organisation at the 2 bars/restaurants is chaos. Take a back pack with sandwiches and drinks.
- the ski instructor was ok but nothing special. I taught my daughter to ski and after 2 days she could comfortably ski the long blues.
Overall we had a great 3 days here but I give it 3 stars because of the early starts necesssary, the chaos of ski hire and questing, the poor food/drink. For the beginner skier though it was great.
NOTE: IF YOU CAN GO DURING THE WEEK AND NOT WHEN THE KIDS ARE OFF SCHOOL APPARENTLY THERE ARE LESS QUEUES AND VERY EMPTY SLOPESWritten 20 February 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Megan W1 contributionWe saw an impressive show. You could feel the performers' energy. They definitely feed off of one another and the crowd.
I was glad I knew NOT to clap with them.
The dancers, singers, and guitarist rotate, so even the performers' don't know who they'll be performing with. They never rehearse, so it's entirely improvisational.Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Teresa D.Bainbridge Island, WA8 contributionsIt was an exquisite experience, starting by the ¨welcoming ¨ following by the presentation and instructions of the game and finally the escape room itself.
I was with a group where everyone else was spanish except for me and still I could follow and help pretty well. It is great the fact that there is so much to do that everyone can be involved at the same time. It is not too easy but also not extremely hard were you get frustrated, just the right balance!
I totally recommend this! I will come back for another adventure for sure.
