About each park

Heide Park

Heide Park sits in Soltau, Lower Saxony, on a large wooded site in northern Germany. Owned by Merlin Entertainments, it has one of the biggest and most varied coaster line-ups in Germany: Colossos (one of Europe's tallest wooden coasters), Desert Race, Flug der Dämonen wing coaster, Krake dive coaster, and Limit. A dedicated resort hotel sits adjacent to the park.

Heide Park's busiest periods run through the German summer school holidays (July-August) and the Halloween/Horror season in October. Midweek visits in May, June and September stay noticeably quieter. Check live wait times for Colossos and Krake first thing in the morning, and use our crowd calendar to avoid peak holiday weekends if you want to ride everything in a day.

Legoland Deutschland

LEGOLAND Deutschland sits in Günzburg, Bavaria, between Munich and Stuttgart, and opened in 2002. It's one of the larger LEGOLAND parks with eight themed areas covering classics like LEGO Castle and LEGO City alongside a Pirate Land and Knight's Kingdom. Major rides include Project X, the Fire Dragon coaster, and a maze-heavy Ninjago area popular with older kids.

German summer school holidays (roughly late July through mid-September) and long weekends drive LEGOLAND Deutschland's busiest periods. Visits in early June or mid-September stay noticeably quieter. Check live wait times to avoid the longest queues, and use our crowd calendar to target a midweek visit if you want a family day without constant waiting.
