C'est le meilleur parc sur terre!! :)…read more I really enjoyed visiting Parc Astérix three summers ago, not trying to measure it up to Disneyland or American equivalents, but as a uniquely French amusement park, rather off the beaten path for two Americans. It took us forever to get there since the shuttle never picked us up at the Louvre due to rain, we trekked it to Charles de Gaulle and caught the charter bus from there. Soaked in rolled up jeans, flip flops and "100% anti pluie" ponchos, we had a blast sipping on tall cans of 1664 and running around the amusement park. There are plenty of old, Romanesque statues and plenty of photo opps. Lots of fun rides for families and people of any age, and it felt very safe. And the gift shop sold HOOKAHS. Tell me where you'd find that in les États-Unis! Way worth the bus ride out there from Paris!

This one's kind o' tough. I had fun but they seemed like they were phoning it in…read more First the hours. On weekdays during summer they close at 6 o'clock. During summer it stays light so long that most European women haven't decided what they're serving for dinner until 8:00. But this place closes at 6:00. Earns 'em triple bonus points on the looser-ometer. And the height restrictions. Ugh. They've got this height chart posted all over the park that breaks kid's heights into three categories. Kiddie rides only, Must be accompanied and Can ride unaccompanied. Both kids are Must ride accompanied or taller so we're golden. Dad can take his kiddos on everything! Until we show up to one of the more fun looking rides a discover that they've got a totally different height chart. Now neither of the girls are tall enough. Come on! It was stupid and a serious buzz kill. The best ride of the park was the Hydra. We ran most of the way over there and ended up being the last group of riders for the day. This thing spins you around and hops you up and down so smoothly that I was squealing like and idiot for a solid 5 minutes. And the fact that my little girls were right there with me? What a joy. And an awesome way to end the day. Park's closed, I carry my littlest one to the parking lot and think "Hey, only an hour and a half til dinner."

I went for 10 stayed till 12 am (closes at 1 am on weekends) did basketball of course I killed it got 4 tickets but didn't get anything as you need more so will hang on to those to get a bigger prize next time. Did a lot of shooting games which was fun and loud. Did the Pirate ship at first it was fun but they kept doing it I got sick near the end but made it of course. Food was expensive as it usually is 4 dollars for a hot dog in baguette but I still ate it all. There's police walking around everywhere so it's pretty safe. I'll be back tomorrow just for basketball

Seriously one of the happiest places on earth. If you can ride the Ferris wheel after dark, watch…read moreits reflection twinkle in the windows of the apartment buildings on the Rue de Rivoli and the Louvre, and look out over the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysées, and Sacré Coeur, and remain unmoved, then I can't help you. Every year this fair gets bigger and more elaborate, but it still manages to retain its imperfect charm. The flume ride will still ruin your clothes for the rest of the evening, the fun house will still put you in danger of a black eye, and the carousel will still spin its rickety way around again and again. Get ice cream, and wander at will. Everything's overpriced, of course, but don't worry, it'll be okay. This is a quintessentially Parisian event. The Ferris wheel is strikingly beautiful, and locals and tourists alike are willing to shell out a little more than usual for an unforgettable view from the top.

This is such a cute little carrousel near the Eiffel Tower. There are a lot of carousels in Paris…read more This one's really nice. It's popular but not too busy. You feel like you're surrounded by tourists.

Le Carrousel de la Tour Eiffel just happened to catch my attention while walking in Paris. I asked…read moremy daughter to stop so I could get a photo. It's absolutely beautiful and a historic landmark. Because of this photo I like to photograph carousels now. I enjoy the carousels in Manhattan. I treasure this photo and I definitely would make it a point to return the next visit to Paris. In fact I'd like to photograph more of the carousels in Paris. There are around twenty carousels around Paris. Most from the 1900's when it's considered they reached their Golden Age.

France Miniature is just what it sounds like, all the major landmarks and iconic places in France…read moredownsized into Miniature models. This park features everything from the Eiffel Tower, arc de triomphe, Notre Dame, to the various Chateau's (Castles) in France. I believe there was about 80-100 Miniature models all numbered in which you cna follow a path from beginning to end. This park has a few dining areas, restrooms, and and several fun rides that are self operated. If you have extra time in addition with visiting the larger scale landmarks in France, I definitely recommend France Miniature.

This place got off to a very very bad start with me, but spent the rest of the time making It up to…read moreme. Firstly..the location of this place is a nightmare. From the centre of Paris it took us 2 metro trains, an overland suburban train and finally a bus which left us stranded on a roundabout at a bus stop that was called France Miniature, but still no sign of the park. Eventually we were able to cross a road and walk for almost 10 minutes and find the entrance. The fun had only just started however as at the entrance we met a girl and 2 tills. We wanted to pay entry and a drink after our trek to get there. The catch, you could not pay for both at the same till and both tills were broken. A swearing supervisor arrived but didn't make things much better so we were quite annoyed when we were finally able to get into the park. From there things got better however. I knew Paris was spoilt, with some of the most majestic sights in the world, what I hadn't realized is quite how much there is in the rest of France. The amount of times we found ourselves we found ourselves determining that we had to go and see the full size version of one of the miniatures was evidence of that. The staff got better too. We ate at the restaurant, where a funny and friendly waiter served us food of a quality much better than what you expect to find in a tourist attraction (but then..it is France). Also at the end of our visit to the park another worker there helped us call a taxi to get back to the station (the buses stop before the park closes.this is the kind of thing that only happens in France!) Also worth a mention are the distractions from the main event and very entertaining they are too. First the kids toy car driving track with its spooky music is worth a look if visiting with kids, then there are some slides, a ride that takes you up across the water in the air on a chair suspended from a cable and another one that takes you up a ramp in a boat before you shoot down and jump into the water (there is a small bump at the end to send you flying). The last 2 I mention are self operated and they were tremendous fun. You can't help thinking 'lawsuit waiting to happen' mind you and we weren't surprised to see an ambulance arrive for someone who had taken a tumble. In conclusion. A fun day out if you can get there. Try not to hurt yourself!

This Pirates of the Caribbean is slightly different than the original…read more They kept a few things the parks in the states removed during their last renovations, but similar to Disneyland California Paris removed or never had a few things that were a bit on the saucier side. The ride itself is longer than the original and a little less realistic - I'd say the animatronics are weaker and a little more doll like, but it has some of the classic vibes and I personally thought the air quality was better than expected. It is a must do at Disneyland Paris? No. But we had Premier Access so there was no reason not to try it out and see what their version was like, so if you're in the same boat I'd definitely recommend trying it out. However all in all, if there's a wait time past 20 minutes and you've been on another version and don't have PA, I think this version could easily be skipped.

So so good! Love this version and the queue is SO GOOD! Mostly inside…read more Ride is longer and almost feels like two parts-the first half and the.
