Navarre, Spain
Sendaviva is a nature and animal park in Arguedas, in the Ribera region of Navarre, with rides, water attractions and play areas among its animal areas. This guide covers the 27 attractions on the operator's attractions page, with the height rule it publishes for each. Animal areas, shows, the mazes (Laberinto acuático, Laberinto vegetal), the Espejos de la Risa mirror walk-through and the Juegos del Granero and Juego del Reciclaje games are not included.
Height Restrictions Overview
Each attraction page on the official site lists "Altura mínima" (minimum height) where there is one. Many give two tiers: a height to enter alone and a lower height at which a child may enter with an adult. On the Bobsleigh and Fórmula Viva the tiers are stated for the driver (145 cm) and for a passenger accompanied by an adult (105 cm). Several pages also list a maximum height or a weight range.
- 6 attractions have no minimum height with an adult: children under 105 or 110 cm, depending on the ride, need an adult.
- 10 attractions are open to children under 100 cm.
- 13 attractions are open to children under 110 cm.
- 16 attractions are open to children under 120 cm.
- 18 attractions are open to children under 140 cm.
- 1 attraction has a 150 cm minimum: La Gran Tirolina.
Some attractions publish no height rule at all and are marked as height not listed rather than as having no limit. Sendaviva's access rules say anyone under 16 must enter the park with a parent or legal guardian, or with another adult who has the guardian's authorisation, and that some attractions have height, age, fitness, clothing or accompaniment limits shown at each ride.
