Accessibility

Park timings: Timings vary by season, but typically, timings are 11am to 10:30pm.

Parking is open 30 minutes before the park, so you can arrive early and be the first to enter the park for a crowd-free experience.
If you cannot get there before the gates open, early afternoons are another great option for entry. It tends to be the calmest and gives you plenty of time to explore the park before the main shows kick off.

Entrance

The main entrance to Puy du Fou España is impossible to miss—directly across from the general parking lot. Look for the wide, rustic wooden gates, medieval-style flags, and a steady stream of visitors heading toward them.
There are two parking options: a free general parking zone, and a paid premium parking area located closer to the entrance.
Once you’ve parked, it’s just a 2-3 minute walk along a clearly marked pedestrian path to reach the entrance gates.

By bus: Drive via the CM40 highway and take Exit 13; follow the signs to the dedicated visitor parking right opposite the main entrance—just a short walk away.
By car: Catch the special Puy du Fou shuttle bus from Toledo city center (usually from Estación de Autobuses); it drops you 5 minutes away from the entrance.
Day trips include round-trip AC transfers and park entry. Drop-offs are typically at the main parking zone, from where signs lead you to the entrance gate in minutes.

All visitors enter through one main entrance, situated directly opposite the expansive visitor parking area.
Upon arrival, you will find different queues for prebooked tickets and ticket booking.
While a limited number of same-day tickets may be available at the entrance, it's advisable to purchase tickets in advance as tickets sell out quickly.
Clear signage in both Spanish and English directs visitors to the appropriate queues. Uniformed staff are readily available to assist with directions and ticket inquiries.
Before accessing the park, all guests undergo a standard security screening, including bag checks.
Post-security, proceed to the turnstiles where your tickets—digital or printed—will be scanned for entry.
During rush hours, expect to wait around 15–20 minutes in entry queues.
The park typically opens around 11am. Arriving early can help you avoid long queues and make the most of your visit.

Puy du Fou España is fully accessible for visitors with reduced mobility.
The main entrance includes ramps and wide lanes.
Complimentary wheelchairs are available at the info point inside the park (ID required).
All shows and restaurants are wheelchair-accessible, and there are accessible toilets throughout the site.

Things to keep in mind when entering Puy du Fou Toledo

Book your tickets online as tickets often sell out a week in advance.
To avoid queues and ensure timely access to shows, arrive at least 30 minutes before the park opens or the show starts.
While you can buy tickets at the entrance, availability is limited and prices are usually higher—booking online is your safest bet.
Expect bag checks at the entrance. Prohibited items include alcohol, drugs, sharp objects, and any kind of weapon.
Fewer bags mean faster entry through security, so pack light and keep essentials only.
You’re free to exit and re-enter the park during the day, but you’ll need to show your ticket again.
Children under 3 years can enter for free.
All guests under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult at all times inside the park.
Download the official Puy du Fou España app or pick up a Visitor Guide at the entrance to plan your route and check showtimes.
