04 · The parks

What each one is.

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.

Movie Park Germany

Movie Park Germany is a film-themed park in Bottrop, North Rhine-Westphalia, originally opened as Warner Bros. Movie World Germany in 1996. It now runs with an independent mix of Paramount, Nickelodeon and other licences. Major rides include Star Trek: Operation Enterprise, MP Xpress, The Walking Dead, and the Van Helsing's Factory indoor coaster.

The park's peak periods align with German school holidays and the long-running Halloween Horror Fest event, which draws heavy crowds through October. Weekdays in June and September stay much quieter. Check live wait times for Star Trek and The Walking Dead on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd day if you want to avoid the longest queues on headline rides.
