Tips & tricks for your visit to Europa-Park
Right where Germany, Switzerland and France meet lies Germany’s largest theme park: Europa-Park. It has been named the best theme park in the world three times in a row. Every year, more than 5.5 million visitors from all over Europe flock to the park. Over 100 attractions and spectacular shows, 14 roller coasters and 20 European themed areas offer entertainment, fun and action for everyone. Whatever the time of year you visit Europa-Park, the wide variety of shows and attractions makes every visit an unforgettable experience.
For adrenaline junkies
Between the Poseidon water coaster and Euro-Mir you’ll find Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac! The new coaster thrills with an unrivalled package of excitement, atmosphere and technology, setting new standards in roller coaster construction. Voltron Nevera combines numerous innovative elements: with seven inversions, four launches, 2.2 seconds of uninterrupted weightlessness and a world-record steepest launch of 105°, the new coaster delivers an intense, unrivalled ride that is unique anywhere in the world!
Rustexpress tip: Go against the flow and start your day with a ride on Bluefire or Wodan at the back of the park. Most visitors head straight for Silverstar as soon as the park opens.
For young and old
Europa-Park’s varied and diverse show programme captivates young and old alike and has something for every taste. Join a boy and his robot friend on a journey into space in “The Secrets of Gravity”, enjoy a world-class acrobatic spectacle in “The Grand Hong Kong Hotel” – or how about a bit of rock ’n’ roll?
Rustexpress tip: The dream of flying finally comes true! Look forward to a fantastic journey across Europe in the newly opened Voletarium. Up to 140 explorers glide through the gigantic hall in chairlift-style flying machines in a truly unique way. A highlight for the whole family!
For water babies
Fancy cooling off? Whether it’s a ride on the spectacular Poseidon water coaster, a wild rafting trip through the rugged landscape of Scandinavia or a leisurely float along the waterway, the water rides at Europa-Park are the perfect way to cool off in summer – and no visitor stays completely dry.
Rustexpress tip: On really hot days, we recommend the Atlantica Super Splash shower in the Portugal themed area. Step onto the platform and let the big wave from the water coaster cool you down.
For the little ones
But Europa-Park doesn’t just impress with fast roller coasters and entertaining shows – it also has plenty in store for its youngest visitors. Grimms Märchenland, elf and vintage car rides, lovingly designed playgrounds and much more will make every child’s eyes light up.
Rustexpress tip: Make sure you visit the Kingdom of the Minimoys with the children, where nature becomes a big adventure. Let yourselves be whisked away into the microcosm and dive into the peaceful, secret world of the tiny creatures.
For those with a sweet tooth
Whether it’s sweet treats such as doughnuts, Berliners, crêpes and ice cream or savoury snacks such as tarte flambée, hot dogs or Dutch fries, Europa-Park is a real land of plenty.
Rustexpress tip: On your way back to the coach park, make a quick stop at the waffle bakery in the Germany themed area. These freshly made treats come in all sorts of varieties – and we’re sure you’ll love them!
For food lovers
Enjoy moments of pure indulgence during your stay at Europa-Park and dine in a cosy atmosphere at one of the themed restaurants. From Spanish and Italian to Greek and dishes from all over the world, you’re sure to find the right menu at Europa-Park.
Rustexpress tip: Go on a culinary journey and enjoy dishes from around the world at the Spices self-service restaurant. In spring, for example, discover the spice-rich cuisine of India, or in summer the dishes of Africa.
