What is the PortAventura Annual Pass?
The PortAventura Annual Pass is a membership giving you unlimited access to the parks throughout the year (with some restrictions depending on pass type). It's an investment that pays off if you plan to visit PortAventura World 3 or more times per year, and offers multiple additional benefits beyond park access.
PortAventura annual passes are especially popular with families living in Catalonia, Valencia and other nearby regions, as well as visitors who combine Costa Dorada vacations with frequent park visits.

When is an Annual Pass Worth It?
Let's do the math to see when buying an annual pass makes financial sense:
Example for a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 children):
Scenario 1: Without Annual Pass
- 1 visit: 4 x €60 = €240
- 2 visits: €480
- 3 visits: €720
Scenario 2: With Express Pass
- Cost: 2 x €99 + 2 x €89 = €376
- Pays for itself with: 2 visits
- Plus additional discounts on food and merchandise
Scenario 3: With Explorer Premium
- Cost: 2 x €149 + 2 x €139 = €576
- Pays for itself with: 3 visits
- Plus free parking (saves €15-20 per visit)
💡 Annual Pass Recommendation
- 1-2 visits/year: Individual tickets better
- 3-4 visits/year: Express Pass recommended
- 5+ visits/year: Explorer Premium or Infinity Max worth it
