This topic is updated periodically when Europa-Park and Rulantica announce the next batch of minimum closing times.

Main Season (26th March - 6th November 2022)
Halloween Season (1st October - 6th November 2022)

Europa-Park gates open at 8:30am. Hotel guests can access some attractions at this time via the resort hotel entrance, which is located at the rear of the theme park in the Spanish themed area. Regular day guests/non resort hotel guests may be held at the top the main German Alley until 9:00am, when all rides open and a large gate opens. However, on some days (weekends, holiday periods), rides in the Italian and German areas, including Voletarium, open at 8.30am, too.

Park Closing Time (click here to check the earliest closing times for your visit)
Like Alton Towers in the UK, the closing time is when ride queue entrances close, not when the park closes. The shops and restaurants in the German, French and Italian areas usually remain open for 1 hour after the rides close and you won't be rushed out of these areas. Please note that the closing times shown are the earliest likely for that day. They may be extended.

HalloWinter Season (7th November - 2nd December 2022)
This season bridges the gap between main and winter seasons., All attractions open except Atlantica Super Splash (due to the construction of the Bellevue wheel for winter season) and Fjord Rafting (due to construction of the ice rink). Like winter season, the park entrance opens at 10am - but rides open from 11am until 7pm. Full details are available via the Europa-Park website.

Winter Season (3rd December 2022 - 8th January 2023 + 13-15th January 2023; closed 24/25.12.22)
Europa-Park gates open at 10:00am when you can access the Christmas market, shops and restaurants in the German area. Guests are usually stopped from entering other areas of the park until 11:00am, when all rides open. Some rides in the Italian and German areas may open earlier, including Voletarium, Geisterschloss, Piccolo Mondo and Volo da Vinci! Hotel guests get VIP ride time from 10:00am to 11:00am via the hotel resort entrance. This includes a selection of rides including Alpenexpress, Columbus' Dinghy and Belle Vue Wheel. In the German area shops, restaurants and the Christmas market close 1 hour after rides.

Rulantica: Open Year Round except 24/25 December
Rulantica, the Europa-Park Water World opens for hotel guests at 9.00am daily before opening to all daily guests at 10.00am. Rulantica closes at 10.00pm. For special events or other reasons, Rulantica hours are subject to alteration on some days. For example, it closes at 7.00pm on 31 December.
