Hi guys, :wave:

Off to Beni again in 4 weeks and was wondering if any of you locals / regulars know of any TM vouchers doing the rounds to suit 4 adults / teenagers? I've been informed that there may be some BOGOF adult vouchers about?

Also, I seem to remember that when you leave TM you can buy a re-entry ticket cheaper. Can anyone enlighten me?

I am aware of the usual 3/7 day tickets available online at home but they are all for consecutive days whereas we are looking to go 2 or 3 times over 10 days.

Or can anyone recommend anywhere (Ticket shop etc) in Beni to get a good deal?

Are there also plenty of Aqualandia / Mundomar vouchers about as per?

Sorry for the long post, but we always seem to plan ahead only to find better deals in resort. :duh

Russ, I have sent you a P.M... Kazz, not sure when you are going as I see that your post was put on some time ago but when we went to Terra Mitica some time ago like 6 years or something, they were very strict about you taking your own food in, they were checking all the bags but as our son was in a pushchair we sneaked a few bits in. We didn't really enjoy eating it though as we felt like we were been watched.

Hi there,

Thanks for that info. I haven't been in Benidorm for a few years and have never tried to take food in before but never noticed them checking anyone for any. If anyone has been this year can you let me know if this is the case, don't want to get into trouble for taking food, lol

Thanks again

Karen :cheers

You could always have your own little picnic outside before you go in lol.

The first time we went to TM in 2001 they were searching everyone including camcorder bags etc, we even witnessed them trying to take baby food from one young couple, we scoffed ours in the queue. :tongue

We have been 3 times since and have always left our food in a cooler bag in the car as they let you out for that. However, what's really annoying is that there always seem to be plenty of Spanish families about having picnics with their own food. :rage

Hi all.

The vouchers for terra mittica from mcdonalds, is it the mcdonalds at the very end of the beach? and is it a voucher for free entry with a paying adult. Just want to check coz if not i've seen them on ebay i'll get one from there if i cant work out where to get one when we get there! Thanks.

Stuff 'em. If they are going to get funny about taking in food and drink, just go in on the cheaper evening tickets. They are open until 11pm in July and 2am in August, so why boil in the sun?

(Later edit) The information about closing times came off the Terra Mitica website. I've since read that the rides stop at 10pm, which seems a bit silly, but the shows continue late. I believe you can go in at 4.30pm on the evening tickets, so I'd be long gone by 10pm!

Don't know if they still do these particular discuont vouchers as I haven't been to Benidorm since 2007 but they used to have some in some of the English bars: the Western Saloon? at the Ambassador being one.

These offered a €12 discount per adult as opposed to the €6 discount on the ones they gave out where the free bus goes from.

It is being reported that the new management of Terra Mitica have decided that the 2010 season will now conclude at the end of September, rather than late December as originally scheduled. It is believed that the park will close for at least 6 months, with around 400 staff losing their jobs. The Calendar & Schedules section on the Terra Mitica website does not yet reflect these reported changes to operations.

Damn blast and set fire to it...As my grandma used to say! Guess who's going there in early October? I'm a bit surprised at that as, although they are only open at weekends in October, there's one where they're open on Monday and Tuesday as well.

Just noticed something about Terra Mitica.

As David states above, and confirmed by the Costa Blanca News website, Terra Mitica were supposed to be closing at the end of September rather than going through to November as their website stated.

I've just been on there and, whilst it now shows as closed for most of October, it's showing as open until the 12th October (open 2nd and 3rd Oct (Sat and Sun) and 9th to 12th (Sat to Tues)) Anyone know if this is correct?

I would be interested in the replys to your question also.
I would also be interested to know if you can buy tickets cheaper somewere else rather than the internet. Or even get some freebies.
I am travelling 1st week in November. I know the park will be closed but the Terra Safari Park Place is still open along with that Dolphin Place.
So anyone know of cheapo tickets for these.
Also how much for a taxi to these places.

Thanks

Hi Colin ... those with info and advice about other theme parks may miss your questions here in the Terra Mitica topic. It might be best posting in the Mundomar and Terra Natura topics with your enquiries about those parks.

Hi Colin. Cheapest tickets I know are as I mentioned above which is the €12 off vouchers which you can get from the British pubs in Benidorm. Haven't been for 4 years so I don't know if they still do them.

went last friday, it was empty, never queued once for a ride or show. dont pay euro 35, its not worth that much, and we were out after only a few hrs, and went on everything. its got great rides, but its deffo not a full day experience.

The Terra Mitica website gives 9 - 12th October as being open so is likely to be correct. The 12th is a public holiday and many Spaniards will take a 'puente' (bridge) day on the Monday to make a long weekend.

Fantastic news! I'll be there on the Saturday then... and probably the Sunday if they still do that free admission if you buy €20 of merchandise.
