Day Trips Under an Hour, 3 of 7: Puy du Fou España




A history park in the hills outside Toledo where the day is built around big outdoor shows, not rides. Kids watch knights clash, horses gallop and falcons and eagles swoop over the crowd, then wander period villages with farm animals, craftspeople and two playgrounds. The free park app translates the shows live into English, so bring earphones. On show nights, El Sueño de Toledo replays 1,500 years of Spanish history.
