Ferrari Land Tickets: Prices, Queues & Smart Booking Tips

Inside Ferrari Land: what you’re paying for

Ferrari Land opened in 2017 as the third gate of PortAventura World in Salou, and it remains the only Ferrari-branded theme park in Europe. It’s compact and unashamedly built around one monument: Red Force, Europe’s tallest and fastest coaster, which launches you to around 180 km/h and over a 112-metre top hat. You can see it from the motorway. You can hear it from PortAventura next door.

Around the big red tower sits a half-day of supporting acts:

• Thrill Towers — a pair of drop-and-bounce towers themed to pistons.
• Racing Legends — a motion simulator flying through Ferrari’s racing history.
• Flying Dreams — a flying-theatre ride soaring over landmarks, the park’s best non-coaster attraction.
• Junior area — scaled-down tower rides, a junior coaster and driving school for kids.
• Pit-stop challenges and F1 simulators — pay-per-play for some experiences, so budget a little extra if you have competitive teenagers.

The Italian-village theming — Venice facades, a Maranello-style entrance — is handsome, and car fans will happily lose an hour in the galleries. But be realistic: this is a 3–5 hour park. That’s not a criticism; it’s the planning fact that should shape which Ferrari Land tickets you buy. Treat it as the high-octane half of a resort day, not a standalone destination.

Who it suits: coaster credit hunters (Red Force is a European bucket-list ride), motorsport families, and anyone already holding a multi-day resort ticket. Who it doesn’t: visitors with a single day on the Costa Daurada and no particular interest in cars — PortAventura next door simply offers more hours of entertainment per euro.

Timing is everything

• Ride Red Force first or last. Its queue is the park’s only real bottleneck; at opening it’s often a walk-on, and the final hour is usually quiet too.
• Red Force closes in high winds — a windy forecast is a reason to keep your plan flexible and re-ride when it reopens rather than queueing early elsewhere.
• Crowd patterns follow PortAventura’s: Saturdays, Spanish holidays and August are the peaks; midweek in May, June, September or October is relaxed.
• If you’re doing both parks in one day, do Ferrari Land in the morning while the main park absorbs the opening rush, then cross over after lunch — the flow of the crowd runs the other way.

Insider tip: Sit near the front of Red Force at least once. The 180 km/h launch with nothing but track ahead of you is a completely different ride from the back rows — and the front-row queue moves faster here than at most coasters because the ride cycles quickly.

How to save on tickets

• Buy the combo, not two tickets. Ferrari Land is priced as a supplement on PortAventura World tickets; a combined dated ticket online is consistently the cheapest route in, and platforms like GetYourGuide also sell day trips from Barcelona with both parks and transport bundled.
• Multi-day resort tickets fold Ferrari Land in at the best per-day rate — the right call if you’re staying in Salou anyway.
• Children and seniors get reduced rates, matching the rest of the resort’s pricing structure.
• Skip the express pass on quiet days. Outside peak season the whole park can be done in a morning without it; save the money for the F1 simulators.

Getting there without the hassle

Ferrari Land shares PortAventura World’s site between Salou and Vila-seca, and its entrance is beside the main resort plaza.

• By train: the resort’s own PortAventura station is on the Barcelona–Tarragona regional line, about 1 hour 15 minutes from Barcelona, then a short walk.
• By car: AP-7 motorway, Salou/Vila-seca exits, shared resort parking.
• From Barcelona without a car: bundled day-trip tickets with return transfer are the low-effort option.
• By air: Reus Airport is around 15 minutes away; Barcelona El Prat roughly 75–90 minutes.

Make it a trip

Ferrari Land only makes sense as part of a PortAventura World plan: pair it with PortAventura for the full coaster day, and add Caribe Aquatic Park if you’re visiting in summer and staying more than one day. Salou’s beachfront handles the evenings.

If your Spanish route continues north, Barcelona’s hilltop Tibidabo offers a completely different, vintage kind of amusement park day. Compare everything else the country offers on the Spain destination page, or browse Europe-wide options on the theme parks hub.
