Conquer Europa-Park with Kids: Best Tips for Maximum Fun
Europe’s Largest Seasonal Theme Park
“Life is like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs. But it’s the amusement parks that remind us to enjoy the ride.”
Ed Euromaus welcomes visitors to Europa-Park: Europe’s largest seasonal theme park!
What if you could explore all of Europe in a single day—no flights, no passports, just pure adventure? One moment, you're savoring the charm of an Italian piazza; the next, you're plunging into a daring expedition in the Swiss Alps.
Nestled in the small town of Rust, Germany, near the famous Black Forest and less than an hour from the Grand Est Region of France, you'll find Europa-Park with its expertly planned European themed areas. At this super big amusement park, you don't just ride roller coasters—you journey across an entire continent, one country at a time.
Whether you're traveling through France, Germany, or Switzerland, this incredible theme park is the ultimate family-friendly destination, packed with excitement for little ones, thrills for teens, and magic for adults!
Europa-Park: A Thrilling European Adventure for the Whole Family
Imagine covering the full range of European cultures in a day while sharing thrills and laughter together. Few destinations deliver this variety with such family-friendly charm.
With 17 different themed areas representing several European countries, as well as 3 fantasy lands, this park transports you around the continent without ever leaving its gates. Plus, we can’t forget the 100+ rides and attractions. It's Germany's version of a Disney Park!
Picture the culture and theme of EPCOT's World Showcase but, dare we say it… BETTER! Laughter and bonding fill the air, making it a perfect choice for unforgettable adventures. You'll also be welcomed by the park's official park mascots: Ed Euromaus and Edda Euromaus. These two adorable mice may have been inspired by some other well-known mice, but they have their very own charm.
Hosting over 6 million visitors annually, Europa-Park is the biggest theme park in Germany—and the most visited seasonal park in Europe! It spans 95 hectares (over 235 acres) and offers world-class rides, attractions, and international shows for the whole family.
We visited during Halloween for a specific event that they run every year: Traumatica: Festival of Fear! For those craving intense scares, Kevin, Rachel, Ellie, and I took turns experiencing this 16+ festival over the course of 2 nights. We won’t get into the details in this post as it is more of an overview of Europa-Park, but you can expect to see a dedicated Traumatica post later this year!

History of Europa-Park
Europa-Park opened its gates for the first time in 1975. It is owned and operated by the Mack Family who built the park with the whole family in mind. From its safe, accessible attractions to food choices that delight picky eaters and adventurous ones alike, it truly rivals Disney Parks around the world, including our current favorites: Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland!
Today, the park is still family-owned! Europa-Park Resort has grown their operations to include Germany's largest hotel complex and an entirely separate sister park. Rulantica water park, located less than a 10 minutes drive or about a half hours walk away, offers more than 30 slides, water rides, and other attractions, including a wave pool and a lazy river. It’s the best place to spend a long day in the summer sun with the whole family!
Europa-Park’s 50th Anniversary in 2025
Europa-Park is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and they have big plans! Since opening in 1975, Europa-Park has welcomed close to 150 million visitors. Both Europa-Park and Rulantica will be celebrating this golden anniversary with new shows, attractions, and events.
One notable feature added to celebrate is a 50 Year Exhibition & Monaco Preview Center. It is located in the France-themed area and offers guests an opportunity to walk back through the park’s 50 year history, culminating in an exclusive peek at the newest themed country addition under construction: Monaco!
A new parade was introduced in March (running through late September) and a large installation, by well-known conceptual artist Ottmar Hörl, will be unveiled in the gardens of the Historic Balthasar Castle Park.
On July 7th, 2025, the park will celebrate by staying open until midnight for the first time ever! There's even special 50th anniversary merchandise planned! Special limited festivals are also planned throughout the year that will highlight each country’s culture and offer appearances from special guests. These festivals run only 1–3 days each and there’s too many to mention. Check them out at Europa-Park’s official website! This might just be the best time to plan your visit!
Europa-Park’s European Themed Areas
Europa-Park boasts 17 European themed areas, allowing you to travel through most of the continent without leaving the park. The detailed theming in each “country” is incredible and sets it apart as one of the best theme parks in the world! Here is a brief summary of what you can expect in each of the European themed areas.
Germany
As soon as you enter through the main gates, you'll find yourself in a quaint German village with its half-timbered buildings providing a warm welcome. Each of the 16 German states are represented with a unique facade. You'll find authentic German dining and the 16th century Balthasar Castle here.
This area is also home to one of the EP-Express Monorail stations and the very popular Voletarium ride. Voletarium is a high flying adventure that is often compared to Disney’s Soarin’ ride.
Want to venture to other areas in the park without a long walk? Families can board the train at the Panorama Train Station and ride to Russia, Spain, or round-trip back to Germany.
INSIDER TIP: Make the EP-Express your first ride to get an amazing tour of the entire park early in the day. The aerial views will put the massive park into perspective and it’s a great way to help you prioritize where you want to spend time for the rest of the day.
Greece
Imagine arriving in the Greek islands where you can experience the Mediterranean lifestyle, including delicious Greek foods. You'll be greeted by a Trojan horse at the entrance to the water rollercoaster Poseidon ride (be prepared to get wet). The whole family (age 4+) can enjoy the Pegasus coaster together. Families can even get competitive while they collect points hunting for monsters on the interactive indoor attraction Atlantis Adventure.
Iceland
Here, you'll find a whimsical land of elves and trolls along with the park's gigantic wooden roller coaster: WODAN - Timburcoaster! You'll also find Children's Water World, offering opportunities for younger visitors to cool off and splash in the water.
If you’re looking for a real thrill, check out blue fire Megacoaster. The fast and smooth coaster takes riders from 0 to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds! It was a favorite of all 3 of our girls due to its smooth roller coaster track, its various loops, and (of course) its speed.
INSIDER TIP: While the adrenaline junkies are venturing around Iceland, parents and/or those a bit less daring can relax and enjoy a treat at the Kaffi Hús. Kevin and I each had a delicious cappuccino and indulged in a shared slice of cheesecake.
Luxembourg
Yes, even the small country of Luxembourg has a presence at Europa-Park! Like the country itself, this portion of the park is small, but it doesn’t mean it’s not worth visiting. In fact, one of our favorite places is located in this section of the park, plus a brand new ride for 2025!
Luxembourg is your oasis on a hot day during summer break! Guests will find water fountains built into the ground to help you find relief from the summer heat. It's also home to one of our all-time favorite meal experiences: Food Loop! (more on that in the What to Eat at Europa-Park section, below).
INSIDER TIP: New adventure has arrived in this area of the park in the form of a 3D dark ride called GRAND PRIX EDventure! This new ride celebrates Edda and Ed Euromaus in their anniversary year by giving them their very own attraction—a first for the park.
The whole family (guests 3+ years of age) will dive into the animated world of GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE (a new animated film releasing this summer) where you will have to work together and shoot at various targets throughout the six-minute ride!
Russia
Experience Snowflake, a sleigh ride through the Russian winter tundra where riders of all ages can view actual wood carvers and glass blowers at work! If you’d rather something a bit more thrilling, Russia is also home to the high speed, spinning Euro-Mir coaster, located in the shadow of the Mir space station.
Enjoy traditional Russian foods at CMAK-Russian Food and Burger. The stunning domes and onion-shaped turrets that you associate with Russian architecture are ever present in this portion of the park, helping to enhance the overall experience.
Switzerland
Who doesn't dream of visiting the beauty of Switzerland and its stunning Swiss Alps? Here, you can ride on the Swiss Bob Run where riders join a train of 2-seater bob sleds and race down an “ice channel” (fair warning: our girls found this to be truly unique, but a bit of a rough ride).
You’ll also find the Matterhorn Blitz in Switzerland. This rugged mountain coaster is fun for the whole family and even features an actual chalet built by the Swiss in 1785 and imported to Europa-Park! Don't leave the cozy Swiss Alps’ village with its rustic wooden huts before trying the fondue or raclette! (We loved our entire raclette experience in Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains, France a few years ago!)
Scandinavia
You'll know you've reached Scandinavia when you see the brightly colored houses in the village square. The Nordic area is where you'll find the giant Vindjammer swing that rocks passengers to a height of 20 meters! (If you’ve ever been to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA, Vindjammer is very similar to the Battering Ram.)
Afterwards, head to the Fjord-Rafting ride where you can cool off from the heat before stopping into FJORD Restaurant for a bite to eat. With a menu created by TV chef Brian Bojsen, there's something to please every palate—from fresh fried fish to tasty cinnamon buns!
Spain
White tiled facades, colorful blooming flowers, ornate gates, and terraces—you'll feel like you've been transported to the Spanish town of Seville! Kids can splash and play at the Adventure Playground complete with slides and a maze. From the Feria Swing, a carousel with swinging carriages, to the Spanish Arena, your entire family will be immersed in culture and fun.
To feed your crew, you can head to the Don Quichotte restaurant, located in nearby Hotel El Andaluz, for tacos (complete with cocktails for parents and/or older siblings). Top it all off with a delicious treat at a Spanish ice cream parlor!
Portugal
This is one of the smaller themed areas but is definitely worth exploring. For those needing a break from the summer heat, you’ll find an effective way to cool off. Atlantica SuperSplash takes you on a fast adventure, culminating in a huge splash! Afterward, older guests can enjoy a cocktail at the Bar Magellan aboard 'Santa Marian' or your little ones can climb and play in Casa da Aventura.
England
You don't have to travel to London to ride a London Bus—this family-friendly ride, hovering at 7 meters above ground, is a delight! If riding the bus isn’t your style, you can hop into a Crazy Taxi, built to look like the famous black cabs of London, and try to navigate the city traffic.
You can even gaze upon the statue of Queen Victoria before visiting The Three Piglets Pub for authentic fish and chips. While in the area, check out the Globe Theater on Victoria Square for a show. When you’re finished exploring England, just head over to Paddington Station and catch the train which can take you to Spain, Russia, and Germany.
Holland
This is where you will find one of our favorite family rides: Pirates in Batavia! It's a boat trip similar to Pirates of the Caribbean at the various Disney parks around the world, but, in our opinion, it’s even better! While you won't find Jack Sparrow, you will experience some really expert animatronics as you take the 8-minute journey. Even the queue features several animatronics, including pirate parrots and otters (Ellie’s favorite).
For little ones, this Dutch wonderland is home to the Flying Dutchman, a boat ride on a stormy sea, featuring Peter Pan and Captain Hook. For kids who prefer the air over the sea, the Red Baron will lift them in flight. The entire family can take a spin together in the coffee cups on Koffiekopjes.
Liechtenstein
This tiny area is tucked between England's Globe Theater and the Swiss Bob Run. Here, you can fly high on the balloon ride which first opened in 1996 but has been recently renovated and reopened as 'Liechtensteiner Ballonfahrt.'
INSIDER TIP: Follow the miniature version of the Liechtenstein Path (a hiking path in the country that takes hikers through all 11 municipalities). It will give you and your kids a crash course on the art, culture, and economy of Europe's 4th smallest nation, making it a fun and educational addition for homeschooling families!
Ireland
This version of the Emerald Isle was built to provide much fun for the littlest of visitors. From the children's roller coaster, Ba-a-a-Express, to the ship swing, Dancing Dingie, there is plenty to delight and entertain little ones. They can work out all their wiggles by climbing around in an Irish castle and then everyone can refuel at O'Mackay's Cafe and Pub with a burger and fries.
Italy
Who doesn't love a fresh slice of pizza or a delicious gelato? Head over to Italy to experience a friendly Italian atmosphere and some of these classic dishes. At the theater, your whole family can enjoy an upbeat performance with singing and dancing on an open-air stage. You even visit the palace of the Medici family! Castello dei Medici invites visitors on a haunted tour of the home of Lorenzo de Medici while he seeks revenge on the Pazzi family.
INSIDER TIP: For a bit less drama, you can embark on Volo Da Vinci, inspired by the designs of Leonardo da Vindi, for an aerial view of the park.
Croatia
Croatia’s primary feature is the newly-added 1,385 meter long Voltron Nevera multi-launch coaster. This great ride is highly popular and features an old Croatian hydroelectric power station and bell towers.
Croatia is also home to a large market square and welcoming limestone buildings which include Ćevapčići-Snack. At this ice-cream parlor, you can enjoy a sweet treat while admiring the landscaping which includes an 800 year old olive tree!
Austria
You won't want to miss this alpine wonderland with its hidden grotto (a bedazzled gift shop) and mystical inhabitants. Here, you'll find the Tyrolean Log Flume where you can escape the heat. Austria is also home to the Alpine Express 'Enzian,’ which takes you past waterfalls and rock formations and through the Magical Valley of Diamonds, rivaling Disney's Big Thunder Mountain.
For little ones, Würmchen Wies'n Playground beckons them to explore root caves where they can find slides, swings, and other discoveries. The whole family can enjoy a peaceful boat ride upon Josefina’s Magical Imperial Journey. This area also features the Vienna Waltz water show, set to music. If hunger strikes, Seehaus restaurant answers the call with Schnitzel and other Viennese specialties.
France
France is one of our favorite countries in the world and this themed area delivered on our high expectations! We enjoyed the vibe in this area with a fun replica of Moulin Rouge and a sphere that looks like it’s straight out of EPCOT! You'll also find delicious food to savor at the bistros and restaurants found here.
There are plenty of rides and attractions to keep you spellbound, including the immersive Eurosat Coastiality which pairs the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera with a VR rollercoaster ride. (Please note that Eurosat Coastiality requires the purchase of a €7 time ticket.)
The Euro-Tower will let families rise to a height of 75 meters, allowing for a 360-degree view of the park and even the nearby Black Forest. Silver Star, one of Europe’s tallest coasters (73 meters) travels at a speed of 130km/h! It is sure to attract the thrill seekers in your family! (It was our girls’ favorite coaster of the day due to its interesting queue line and its smooth roller coaster track.)
Europa-Park’s Other Themed Lands
The continent of Europe isn’t the only place you’ll have an opportunity to explore during your time at Europa-Park. There are also 3 fantasy lands that mostly cater to younger kids. Don’t let the “kiddie” design fool you, though, there is plenty for kids of all ages to enjoy in each of these sections of the park!
Grimm's Enchanted Forest
You know all their stories, from “Hansel and Gretel” to “Cinderella” and “Little Red Riding Hood.” Their original stories have been handed down through generations and have inspired many of the Disney movies that were part of our younger years.
Here, your child can try to find Rapunzel or wander through the recreated worlds of those much loved stories. (Don’t worry! The dark and haunting nature of the Grimm Brothers’ stories is toned down so as not to spook your younger kids.)
Adventure Land
This Austrian-themed area of the park features some beautiful water views and expertly landscaped gardens. It provides a relaxing atmosphere with views of Europa Lake. Your children can play in the water playgrounds and the whole family can enjoy a wonderful meal at SPICES which features recipes from all over the world that change on a regular basis, allowing for a new culinary experience on every visit!
The Minimoys Kingdom
Imagine finding yourself shrunken to the size of a tiny mouse. You're surrounded by huge bugs, giant frogs, and plants that seem as high as skyscrapers. Children can experience the free fall sensation provided by Poppy Towers and explore the Root Palace with fun and giant slides.
INSIDER TIP: These areas aren’t just for kids! In The Minimoys Kingdom, you'll also find one of our favorite rides—ARTHUR—an indoor/outdoor roller coaster track that swiftly guides you through this giant landscape high above the tiny humans below.
Must-See Shows at Europa-Park
Europa-Park offers spectacular shows and a daily parade featuring colorful floats and beloved characters. Here are some of the shows you can expect to find this year, including some special 50th Anniversary offerings:
Ed's Parade
This 25 minute-long parade takes place in Luxembourg starting at 4:30pm. It will run through September 21st and features some upgrades for the special 50th Anniversary event. With brand new floats, vibrant music, and over 80 different artists performing under the motto of “Celebrating under the stars,” this is something you won’t want to miss!
Big Moments – The Celebration Show
You'll find this special 50th Anniversary show playing twice a day at the Europa-Park Teatro, located in Italy. Running from March through August of 2025, the show will cover iconic moments in Europa-Park’s history. Everything from attractions to shows and even hotels will be covered in this 35 minute production.
INSIDER TIP: The Europa-Park Teatro is air-conditioned so if you need a break from the heat, this is the perfect way to relax, cool down, and enjoy some unique entertainment!
Surpr’Ice Presents THE RACE – Ed vs. Nachtkrabb
This 30 minute show can be found in Greece from now through September 21st. Award-winning figure skaters, including park mascot Ed Euromaus, perform in a professionally choreographed show that includes acrobatic stunts.
The Legend of Zorro
Daring sword fights and stunning displays of horsemanship are on full display in this exciting 35 minute show. It can be found at the Spanish Arena in Spain where it runs twice daily, now through November 9th.
Doble Energía by Saly Brothers
The Saly Brothers have performed at some of the world’s largest circus festivals. They bring tremendous energy to this 10 minute show that includes percussion, and dancing with wooden balls on ropes! You can catch this show in Spain now through November 2nd.
The Magic Atlas – Puppet Show
This delightful puppet show is a hit with small guests. It takes audience members on a voyage across continents, bringing legends to life. Found on the stage of Limerick Castle in Ireland, fantasy, puppetry, music, and dance combine to create a family-friendly 20 minute show for young and old alike.
Where to Stay When Visiting Europa-Park
Europa-Park offers six 4-star themed hotels along with a few other affiliated options at Silver Lake City. From Hotel Bell Rock and Hotel Castillo Alcazar to Europa-Park caravaning, Europa-Park camping, and tipi town with its tipi tents, we’re covering all of the accommodation options in a separate post.
Fair warning: while we’re sure each of these options offer a fantastic overnight stay experience, prices can be a bit steep (at least in our opinion). That’s why we’re not stopping at just Europa-Park affiliated options, we’re also covering non-affiliated accommodations in Rust, Germany and neighboring cities that still offer easy access to Europa-Park and Rulantica!
What to Eat at Europa-Park
Europa-Park offers a diverse range of dining options. From hearty German fare at the Biergarten to Mediterranean delights at Taverna Mykonos, there's something for everyone. In all, there are over 50 themed restaurants and bars found throughout the park. Here is just a small sampling of the options you can try during your visit:
Alsatian Wood-Fired Oven Bakery – France: Whether you’re looking for a morning coffee and croissant or a delicious baguette for lunch, this bakery is where you can find delicious breads and tasty tarts.
Black Forest House – Germany: You can’t visit Germany without venturing into the Black Forest! This restaurant delivers German classics like Bratwurst, Black Forest ham, and tasty Baden wines that can be enjoyed on the terrace with a view of the Balthasar Castle garden.
Pizzeria Venezia – Italy: If you’re looking to feed picky eaters, pizza and pasta are probably your go-to (at least they are for us). There’s no better choice than Italy to find a fresh offering that makes everyone happy. There’s even an espresso bar if you need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!
INSIDER TIP: Snack stands, cafes, bakeries, and bars are widely available throughout the park. You can find everything from freshly made waffles and pretzels to ice cream, loaded fries, and even vegan hot dogs!
Jack’s DELI – The Minimoys Kingdom: Speaking of vegan items, if you’re vegan or vegetarian, you’ll want to find your way to this Jack’s Deli. Here, you’ll find a wide range of options that include sandwiches, salads, and seasonal fruits.
Restaurant Bamboe Baii – Holland: This restaurant takes you on a journey through the Indonesian jungle with options that include vegan bowls, fried chicken, and spring rolls. You can even wave to passengers on the Pirates of Batavia ride as they float by. (We walked by this one and it smelled so good!)
Our Top Food Pick? FoodLoop, located in the beautiful gold-blue pyramid of Luxembourg! At this incredibly unique and fun restaurant, your meal arrives via a looping rail system, adding excitement to the overall dining experience.
Each guest orders via a touchscreen, and, within no time, drinks and dishes race down the track to your table. It was fun and delicious! I'm not sure who was more mesmerized, the kids or the adults.
The Europa-Park App is Your Best Friend
Download the Europa-Park app as soon as you start planning your visit! From purchasing your tickets to monitoring wait times, the app will become your new best friend!
WiFi is free inside the park, making it easy to connect. However, we did find that some areas were more reliable than others. The app even gives you exclusive access to VirtualLine. This feature allows you to pick an attraction, receive an assigned time period, and skip to the front of the line when you present your VirtualLine ticket during your assigned slot.
INSIDER TIP: Make sure your GPS is enabled to help with navigating the park. With lots of twists and turns, it’s easy to get lost. We loved being able to look at the map, see exactly where we were, and then chart a path to our next destination.
Also on the app, you’ll find a daily news feed that will keep you updated on park hours, show schedules, and more. Planning to visit Rulantica as well? No worries, the app covers both parks as well as their 6 different park hotels and Silver Lake City! With so many special events and festivals during this anniversary year, you won’t want to miss a thing and this is your best bet for keeping it all straight.
INSIDER TIP: Europa-Park doesn’t always close “on time.” If you check out their app or their website, you’ll see that they specifically say that they are open until “at least 6:00pm” (or during the HALLOWinter and Winter Seasons until “at least 7:00pm”).
Keep an eye on the app for the “official” closing hours, which are announced each day and depend on weather factors. (We got an unexpected bonus of 2 hours, until 8:00pm, during our mid-October visit!)
The Best Times to Visit Europa-Park
It’s hard to pick a blanket “best time” because it truly depends on each family. We all have our own wants, needs, and abilities. With that said, we’re providing guidance on what works best for our family (and what we recommend) in two parts, covering both time of day and time of year.
Best Time of Day to Visit Europa-Park
We’ve visited amusement parks all over the world and every time we read advice from “experts” they tend to recommend arriving early—before the park opens. While this can be great for some, it doesn’t work for every family or every park.
We’ve noticed that these rope-droppers arrive early and race to the park’s most popular ride (alongside scores of other like-minded visitors). We’ve also observed that they tend to leave the park early in an attempt to beat the crowds in the parking lot as well.
We tend to be a bit more laid back. We’ll arrive during the first hour, but after those early arrivals have dissipated. We usually walk through a much less crowded entry gate. We often head in the opposite direction of the crowds once we arrive, enjoying some of the less crowded rides and attractions.
INSIDER TIP: As crowds are heading for the exit at the end of the day, you can often enjoy shorter waits and fewer crowds at the park’s most popular rides. In addition, many amusement parks around the world allow you to get in line for rides until closing time and then will remain open until the whole line has made it through.
As park closers, we refuse to rush and follow the crowd. It’s true that we might miss that often discussed “rope drop” moment, but we make up for it by milking every last drop of our day at the end. My point is that you need to decide what works best for your family. If you’re a family of early risers—head out early. If you’re not, don’t force it just because that’s the common advice.
Best Time of the Year to Visit Europa-Park
Seasonality is a bit of a different animal. We are a full-time travel family who worldschools our kids. As a result, we have the fortune to be able to visit popular tourist sites and parks during less busy times of year. For parks like Europa-Park, that means spring and fall.
We had a wonderful visit in the fall last year and benefitted from lighter crowds and all the amazing fall and Halloween decorations, shows, and events (like Traumatica). If you have the ability to visit during the off-season, we highly recommend it!
If school and work schedules mean that summer is your only option, don’t stress over it. There are plenty of things to enjoy about Europa-Park even when it’s a bit more crowded. Use the app to take advantage of VirtualLine, set lower expectations about the number of rides you’re likely to experience, and enter the park with a mindset that you’re going to enjoy the little things along the way. Each area of this park has fabulous theming, hidden treasures, and delicious food that are worth taking the time to savor.
INSIDER TIP: This park is MASSIVE, and there's no way to do it all in one day at any point throughout the year! Spread any visit, but especially a summer visit, across several days so that you’ll have more chances to get to the rides and experiences you’re most anticipating. Planning to visit Rulantica too? Tack on at least an extra 1–2 days!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Difference Between Europa-Park and Rulantica?
Europa-Park is the original amusement park, while Rulantica is the water park. Europa-Park Resort is the official name for both parks, the various park hotel options, and some other engaging experiences, which is why it can sometimes get a bit confusing. Europa-Park opened in 1975 and features 20 different themed areas. It is home to big coasters, kiddie rides, and several restaurants! Rulantica, Europa-Park’s younger sister, opened in late 2019 and features 14 different themed areas. It is home to various water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, and other water-based attractions. With its indoor/outdoor design and heated pools, many of these areas remain open throughout the year, setting it apart from other water parks around the world!
Can You Do Europa-Park in One Day?
No. This park is massive! We recommend spending a couple of days in Europa-Park itself. If you also plan to visit Rulantica, you'll want to tack on at least 1 or 2 more days. This park is lots of fun and truly worth it if your whole family loves a good, big amusement park!
How Much Will Europa-park Cost?
A family of four can expect to pay around €240 to enter the park. Ticket prices vary based on the time of year, but they typically run between €50 – €60 for a one-day adult ticket and between €40 – €50 for a child's (4–11) one-day ticket. There is also the option to purchase a 2-day park ticket or even a "Ride & Slide" ticket that allows you to visit Europa-Park and Rulantica on the same day (though we can't imagine trying to do both in one day). Regardless of your choice, we recommend purchasing your tickets online or using the Europa Park app before arriving at the park. This way, you can avoid the huge queues at the on-site pay machines.
Make Magical Memories at Europa-Park!
If your family loves a big amusement park as much as we do, Europa-Park and Rulantica belong on your itinerary! From epic roller coasters and water rides to immersive and highly detailed theming, there's something to captivate every traveler.
