As we get spring here in Germany and temperature goes up, our Amusement Parks and Theme Parks opened their doors. (Some are open for a few weeks in winter season as well, but most not) A&T Parks in German definition means, take an entire day and have a lot of fun :-) From idyllic wildlife park with domestic animals up to safari-tour through a lion preserve, and from contemplative visit in fairy tale country up to terrific ride with Mega Roller Coaster. They offer fun and maintenance for whole family.
Pay one entrance fee and enjoy whatever you like. Okay, you still have to pay for some events, but most attractions are free after you paid entrance fee, which varies from 10 to 30 EUR.
In this 3-part report I will let you know about our 7 biggest Theme Parks in Germany. In addition, I will reveal 5 easy steps on how to save approx. 50% of your valuable "amusement-park-time," so that you can visit a lot more attractions.
And before we get started, I recommend visiting www.smart-travel-germany.com/amusement-parks-and-theme-parks.html to gain further information, and web addresses of all parks mentioned here.
Okay, let's go!
Europa-Park
It's biggest one in Germany and located in Rust (between Freiburg and Offenburg), in South Germany. It has extravagantly arranged European ranges of topics. This facility in Black Forest has varied driving attractions, color-magnificent shows and "6 land worlds". It's a popular trip goal for visitors from whole world. The Amusement Park lies in 550 years old facility of Balthasar castle and is considered today as one of most beautiful Theme Parks world-wide. The park received also different honors.
Phantasialand
This one is located in Bruehl by Cologne, in middle-west of Germany. Heck, I was more than 15 times in this park. It was built in 1967 as a fairytale park. Since then, one year hardly passes, in which park does not offer new attractions. In 1972 range of topics old Berlin were inaugurated, which modelled on flair of capital in 20's and 30's. Also first landmark of Phantasialand was developed, Brandenburg Gate, on a scale of 1:2. The facility can be characterized as a large leisure park with many extravagant arranged ranges of topics, show attractions and rapid driving offers. One of their roller coasters was even opened by Michael Jackson! (Yes, really!) The best possibility to get an overview of park is a trip with "Phantasialand Jet". It's a Jet which drives in a height of approx. 10m (33ft) above ground, and its way leads nearly across entire area. I strongly recommend driving this Jet *before* you even go onto any other attraction!
