They have a couple of big rides but nothing that flips you upside down. I was able to take my 8 year old on everything. Safety is something of a major difference between Germany and the States. yes, our safety is controlled by some 16 year old working for minimum wage but at least there is someone checking ANYTHING! Here there was the one guy behind glass pressing the GO button. No one checks to see if your kid is tall enough. No one checks to make sure you are strapped in correctly. A couple of the rides are automated so the chair doesn't even stop! You kinda have to jump in and strap in FAST. Also there really wasn't any real souvenirs. The gift shops were filled with junky dollar store trinkets. Nothing was worth buying. You do get a free child's glass or adult wine glass with your entry ticket, which was nice. As for food, there is one inside restaurant. It was expensive and the food wasn't all that great. It was cold the day we went so we gladly paid for the heated dining experience. Like any other theme park, the kiosks and carts are expensive too. However, you can bring in your own food and drinks. I didn't know this at first so I sneaked in a drink and some small snack items. If I had known, I would have brought a picnic basket full like everyone else did! We went with friends who bought season tickets. I don't think it's a place worth season tickets. One time was enough for us. There are other places worth the money.

If you want your children to have fun they will enjoy lots of themed rides like "Badewanne" or "G'sengte Sau" and for toddlers the small, safe and enjoyable rides are everywhere.

Very small amusement park (as compared to Legoland or Europa Park), however, Traumland is one of my…read morefavorite parks. Traumland is more geared for the younger crowd -- 3 years to 9 years -- and the entire park has a fairy land theme to it. There are plenty of rides for the kids, young and old, and there are a fair amount of parks and climbing structures that the kids can play on if they tire of the rides. The food options are the standard German fare, but like the other parks we've been to, are priced respectively. For example, a brat with bread (rotebrat mit brotchen) will set you back 2.40 Euro, which is pretty much what it costs anywhere else. They have a good selection of Berg beer, from Kristallweisen, Hell, and Radler beers. Overall, great small theme park for the kids. Our boys enjoyed themselves, mostly because they could do all of the rides. We'll likely come back here in the future. My only point of contention is the cost (48 Euro for a family of four) for as small as it is, but when i consider how much other parks cost (Sensapolis for example), the cost is probably fair.

We decided to take our girls to Holiday park over the long weekend. I had gotten on their website…read morewith a discount code but there was a pop up to bid for your ticket prices. The first 3 times I had bid too low and they didn't accept my offer. I finally tried 38.50€ and it was accepted. My 5 year olds ticket was 30€ and my 2 year old's cost 15.50€. (They don't charge by age but rather by height.) The parking fee was 8€ The drive was only an hour away for us and luckily there was no traffic. We arrived 10 mins prior to them opening and the parking lot was already fully packed. Checking in was easy. They just scanned the bar code from our phones and we walked in. I didn't know where to start first but I saw a bunch of other families with small children going off to the right and we followed. Arriving when they first opened was great for us. No long lines to wait in for the kiddie rides - under 5 mins. The longest time we waited in long was 25 mins for the log splash ride. There was a ride I don't recommend taking small children. It was across from the Dino splash next to a BBQ conssesion stand. I translated the ride as an underground train ride but it's bizarre, scary, and wildly inappropriate for young minds. So skip that ride. We did spend some time at the acarde and played some of the carnival game. I suggest not wasting your money on the claw machine trying to grab the stuffed animals. They are rigged and I'm embarrassed how much we ended up spending on retrying to win a stuffed animal. Save yourself the hassle and just jump on Amazon to buy which ever stuffed animal you want. I had gotten dizzy after riding a spinning cup ride with my girls. My equilibrium was way off and decided I must eat something. We walked into the first restaurant we saw and it was an Italian place called Casa Palatina. I ordered the pizza and carbonara pasta. The pizza was decent and the pasta was bland. We also tried the BBQ concession stand and got the soft served icecream. It was all just overpriced amusement park food. Nothing spectacular or mind blowing. Overall we were happy with our visit and would bring the kids again. If you have small kids I highly suggest this amusement park, for teens I would say go to Europa Park.

When you think of massive theme park resorts, most think of Disney or Universal, but Europa Park…read morecan easily cope up with them and even beat them in some categories. And its still growing. To my review: I visited the park on the 1. September (monday). So I expected the park to be not too crowded. I arrived via bus from Luxemburg shortly before the park opened. The entry price is under 50€ , compared to Disney Worlds Hollywood Studios which costs over 100$ for entry, its pretty great. As the parked opened I quickly rushed to Silverstar (a 70m tall B&M hyper coaster which you already see from the parking lot). I managed to do 4 rides in a row without waiting. Amazing ride! After that I went to Can can coaster, the queue line is amazingly themed with much details. If you watch closely you can see some scenery object that remind of the old space theme. The ride features a rare spiral lift hill and is all indoor. (sadly didn't try the VR) Next I went for the water coaster Poseidon which had no wait at all. Still a very cool and nice themed ride, very long too and with 2 splash downs. I also tried Pegasus, a family coaster, was pretty ok. Its a bit hidden but also a very short ride. Then I tried that laser shooting ride (don't remember the name) in the Greek area. Was pretty cool but seemed a bit abandoned and the queue line was partly pitch black (almost fell once). Matterhorn blitz is a very cool coaster too, even though its a bit smaller. Its a custom layout wild mouse with a vertical lift, so pretty unique. The swiss Bobbahn on the other side has some heavy theming but I didn't really like the short layout. Also had no wait. Good old Euromir was next. The coaster is also unique. There is just one of its kind (Spiral lift spinning coaster). The ride begins slowly and gets quicker with sharp turns at the end. It became a bit rough though. Next was the inverted powered dark ride / coaster Arthur. This one is the only one not themed to an European country but to a movie. The ride is (now) also a one of a kind ride and is pretty well themed and very entertaining. For a refreshment I went to Fjord Rafting, a decent rafting water ride. Was a bit too standard for me. The ride could use a drop in its course. My next ride was Wodan, a thrilling wooden coaster with a very nice layout. The wait was 20min but I used the single ride line and didn't wait at all. (note: only Wodan and Blue Fire have single rider for now) Blue fire is a cool launched coaster with inversions. The last roll is pretty intense. If you are into water rides there is also a log flume in the Austrian area and another but shorter water coaster (Atlantica Supersplash) in the Portuguese area which had also no wait. I also checked out the restaurant where the food you ordered is coming to your table via a small roller coaster through the restaurant. The restaurant mostly very packed but worth checking out. Conclusion: The park is very beautifully themed with love to detail and quality (like you know from Germans). You always discover new areas and details when revisiting the park. But it doesn't cope up with Disney's Galaxy's Edge or Universal's Harry Potter. Don't rush when at the park but admire its beauty. The queue lines are heavy themed so it mostly doesn't get boring. There are areas for everyone: quieter places to walk around, large playing areas, amazing shows, roller coasters from tame to thrill etc. Everyone finds his place and the variety of rides and theming is enormous. Its in my opinion the best park for families (not so much for thrill seekers). But its also time for the park to get a new thrill attraction. If you look for good quality food, you don't get disappointed. As the parks different areas represent European countries, you find that countries best dishes in its areas restaurants. If you want to overnight in the resort, the hotels have top reviews, sadly I haven't overnighted there so I can't say more. Also a very important note is that the ride dispatches are insanely fast compared to other parks. The trains are sometimes only 35s in the station before they leave. again. Another interesting fact is that they allow gopros on roller coasters (only with a chest mount of course), you can even rent them there. And very important is: check which countries around have holidays, and avoid weekends or bridge days. On packed days the lines can get up to 90min for the main rides. On quieter days you can almost enter each attraction with 0-15min wait. If you need longer than 3h to drive to the park, go overnight there. There is so much to see and to too, and you don't need stress. The hotels are great and since the park is growing and now has a water park its worth it. (they already have expansion plans for it)

The park is about 1 hour north of Stuttgart and is definitely tucked away in the hills. You drive through several sleepy towns complete with hills and farmland, then you pop over a hill and you'll see the park on the right. The park is small compared to Legoland or Europa Park, but a little larger than Traumland. You can pay for your tickets with Euros or Visa/Mastercard (which is a nice surprise). If you are short on cash, you can use your Visa card and withdraw money from the ticket office (another nice surprise). My overall impression of the park is that it's a little run down. This park was probably the happenin' park in the Stuttgart area 20 years ago, but it's a little neglected, and I suspect Tripsdrill and the other parks are pulling some of the business away. We were definitely the only American family there (that I saw), which leads me to believe this park isn't well known amongst the American families. There are several rides that the young ones couldn't do, and they are a little strict on the heigh requirements, which I found a little odd for Germany. For example, I could convince the ride guy that my 5 year old was tall enough for the roller coaster, which had a 120cm height minimum (my son is 118 cm), however, the man tending the log ride wouldn't let us on (it was a pretty tame log ride). However, my 3-year old could ride the yellow raft ride, which was by far one of the fastest rides in the park (definitely the crown jewel of the park). There are chimps and a tiger in the center of the park, which is a little jarring, especially if you aren't expecting to see wild animals in an amusement park. The park restaurant was below average in my opinion, as there weren't a ton of options, and they didn't even have bread to go with the spaghetti. Much smaller Traumland had more options and better quality food. Overall, decent park, but I'm not sure if we will be itching to go back here soon. Definitely glad we went, but we'll probably visit Trispdrill, Legoland, or Europa Park again before we come back here.
