About Europa Park
About Europa Park
Europa-Park is Germany's largest theme park, set in Rust, Baden-Württemberg, close to the French border. Run by the Mack family (who build the rides themselves), the park is split into themed country areas: Silver Star towers over the French quarter, Blue Fire launches through Iceland, Wodan snakes through Scandinavia, and the newer Voltron Nevera coaster anchors Croatia. An extensive hotel resort sits alongside.
Europa-Park is consistently one of Europe's busiest theme parks, with peak crowds during German, French and Swiss school holidays, plus the extremely popular Halloween and Winter seasons. Queue times on Voltron, Silver Star and Blue Fire often top an hour on busy days. Check live wait times the moment you arrive, and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter midweek date if you can.
