We are visiting Europa Park over May half term (27th -31st May). What was supposed to be a quick flying visit has turned in to something a little bigger due to Voltron not opening at the start of the season. We are now stopping in the camp resort for the first part and leave on Friday 24th May, and don't get home until Sunday 2nd June.
Inspired by @Poisson post a few years ago, and his and @Leigh recent trip to Hasenhorn, we are planning to visit Steinwasen Park one day during the week. Would you both agree that it is best to do this little adventure when the weather is best? Is there anywhere nice to go for food? Is there anything I need to consider when driving here? We currently plan to do this on 27th, but could switch days if the weather does not look great.
We have Rulantica booked for the 29th, and then we have Hotel Castillo booked for Friday night, so we can pack the tent away, and just have a relaxing day at the hotels. (With myself and Annabelle having resort passes, we might sneak on park for the morning before going for a swim in the afternoon).
We are checking out of the hotel on Saturday morning, and are planning to visit another park. This is where we are after some advice, as I am not sure which park to visit. Our Eurotunnel ticket on the way home is booked for 18:36 on Sunday, so it is possible we could drive to a park on Saturday and stop over near by, and then spend the day in park before driving home on Sunday, or we drive to a nearby park Saturday morning, and then spend Sunday driving home. We have considered the following parks:
I think my preference is Tripsdrill or Plopsland, as they look the best family parks, but as I have never been to any of the parks on the list, I thought I would ask as there could also be something I have missed or overlooked. Any hotels nearby that people could recommend would also be helpful. Thanks in advance.
I know most people are avoiding half term to keep the costs down, but if anyone is at Europa Park during this week, it would be great to catch up one afternoon, or in the evening at one of the bars.
