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!
