Many visitors share the same concern when booking their tickets to PortAventura World: “what happens if it rains during my time in the park?” The answer is simple—the park remains open and the fun doesn’t stop, meaning there’s no reason for a heavy downpour or sudden shower to put a dampener on your day! With covered and indoor shows and rides that continue operating come rain or shine, wet weather represents a unique opportunity to see the park in a whole new light.
Is PortAventura World worth visiting in the rain?
In a word—yes! PortAventura World is every bit as memorable in the rain as it is on a sunny summer’s day. In fact, there are a few big advantages to visiting during bad weather. First, there are fewer visitors, which naturally leads to less waiting times and more time spent enjoying your favourite rides. Second, you’ll come wearing a light raincoat or waterproof jacket, which means you’ll be perfectly dressed for our fantastic water rides!
Those who’ve already experienced PortAventura World on a rainy day be able to vouch for us—something feels different about it! Our themed areas feel calmer and more spacious, and you’ll be able to ride our attractions time and time again without spending time waiting in line.
Do the rides and attractions stop operating when it rains?
Most of our rides remain open during showers and periods of light rain. However, some of our high-speed, open-air rides may be forced to close temporarily during spells of intense rain. As a general rule, the fun will continue as long as safety isn’t affected.
Other rides will offer a different experience, as rainy days usually mean less visitors and waiting times, so you’ll be able to ride your favourite attractions as many times as you want! Our wonderful water rides tend to stay open during bad weather, too! Many PortAventurers embrace this unique opportunity to make a splash with open arms—often remarking “well, we’re already wet anyway!”
