04 · The parks

What each one is.

Walibi Rhone Alpes

Walibi Rhône-Alpes sits in Les Avenières in eastern France, roughly between Lyon and Chambéry. It's a mid-sized thrill park with notable rides including Timber (a Rocky Mountain Construction wooden coaster), Mystic (a Mack launch coaster), and the Radja River rapids ride. A separate Walibi Aquatic Park water area operates during the summer season.

French school holidays - particularly the Lyon region's summer break - drive peak attendance. The Halloween Frayeurs Sur le Parc event also pulls heavy weekend crowds. Midweek days in May, June and September are much calmer. Check live queue times for Timber on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter date for shorter waits on the headline rides.
