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.

On my second trip to Paris, I took my mother along. She has fairly simple dining needs and isn't…read morethe most adventurous. So after touring the Eiffel Tower and a bit famished, I noticed chien chaude was on offer by the nearby carrousel. So interested in checking out the French version on the hot dog, we decided to try it. We were not disappointed! So when I brought the GF to Paris, I knew I had to blow her mind. Could a French-style hot dog compete with the U.S.? Across the street from the NW section of the Eiffel Tower, right by the bridge, you'll notice the carrousel. And to the right of this, is a crepe stand. You can't leave Paris without trying a crepe and the ones here were pretty good, especially considering they are for eating on the go! They'll stuff your crepe with cheese, ham, and even a fried egg! Chien Chaude Fromage [7.50 Euros = $9.13] But first, let's get back to that hot dog. The GF was actually surprised by how good it was. The cheesy, crusty baguette was fresh and housed the hot dogs well (read: plural). The dogs also had nice snap and a salty savoriness. The mix of mayo and ketchup definitely makes sense - adding some acidity and creaminess to each bite. Maxi Complete Jambon [9.50 Euros = $11.57] Crepe, ham, cheese, egg, fries I probably should have stopped there, but considering we had arrived late on our first night in Paris and were scheduled for a boat ride by the Seine River, I went all out. I ordered the largest version of their crepe. It's filled with ham, cheese, egg, and topped with fries - talk about a carbo-gut-bomb. If you go this route, do get extra napkins because you'll find a decent pool of grease at the bottom of your crepe. I'd opt for some ketchup and mayo as well. Regardless, this was an enjoyable mess of gluttony, though not exactly the most delicate of endeavors. So if you're by the Eiffel Tower and need a quick snack, stop by the carrousel and order up a hot dog or a simple crepe. But if you're really starving, try the maxi complete jambon crepe. It requires two hands to hold and be sure to get those napkins!

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.

Young children have lots of fun from the multitude of miniature trains running around. Older children can enjoy the few rides, although there are not many, compared to the larger amusement parks.

It was fun experiencing this ride in Paris, because it was in French lol It seemed pretty similar to the counterpart in California. Pirates, ships, and the dog with the keys lol Super fun ride. This will always be one of my favorites. Ahoyyyy mates! Yo hoooo yo hoooo a pirates life for me. "If an adversary demands parlay you can do them no harm until the parlay is complete."
