What people are saying about Baden-Württemberg

Very nice amusement park! Everything was clean and well maintained, great roller coasters, good food and drink offer. We were very satisfied :) due to the many roller coasters, the park is in our opinion only something for older people (>10 years), for the very small ones we had the impression that there weren't that many attractions.

Φτάσαμε και παρκάραμε πολύ εύκολα. Πολύ όμορφο πάρκο. Η καθε γωνιά του και κάτι διαφορετικό. Πολλά σόου που εντυπωσιάζουν τα παιδιά. Μεγάλη ευκολία τα τρενάκια που σε κάνουν βόλτα μέσα στο πάρκο ειδικά αργά το απογευμα που εχεις κουραστει απ τις βολτες και βρισκεσαι μακρια απο την εξοδο του παρκου.

Few minutes to queue most rides. Great experience, food and drink. Most signage in German, English and French.

Great day spent at Europa Park, enjoying the site and most of its attractions

Many experiences a great atmosphere. Simply recommended.
