04 · The parks

What each one is.

Bobbejaanland

Bobbejaanland is one of Belgium's oldest theme parks, founded in 1961 in Lichtaart by country singer Bobbejaan Schoepen. The park sits in a wooded Kempen landscape and runs a mix of older classics and modern coasters: Typhoon (a compact Gerstlauer Eurofighter), Fury (a launched Gerstlauer Infinity), Sledge Hammer, and a selection of family and dark rides.

Belgian school holidays drive most of Bobbejaanland's crowd peaks, with the Halloween event at the end of October particularly busy. Weekday visits in May, June and September can feel almost empty. Check live queue times before heading to Fury and Typhoon on busy days, and use our crowd calendar to plan around Belgian and Dutch school-holiday weekends.

Walibi Belgium

Walibi Belgium sits in Wavre in Walloon Brabant, about 30 minutes south-east of Brussels. It's Belgium's biggest theme park and packs a strong coaster line-up: Kondaa (the country's tallest and longest coaster), Pulsar (a water coaster with vertical drops), Psyké Underground (a launched coaster that goes indoors), and Loup-Garou wooden coaster. The park also runs a separate Walibi Aqualibi water park year-round.

Belgian, French and Dutch school holidays are the peak periods, with Halloween Fright Nights particularly busy. Check live queue times for Kondaa and Pulsar first thing on arrival - they build up quickly on busy days. Use our crowd calendar to pick a weekday outside Belgian school holidays for the shortest waits across the coaster line-up.
