Trip Planning: Information, advice and questions!

Yes, for both you’ll be fine just showing your season pass via the app at the Guest Services window - at both parks they are just to the right of the main turnstiles.

Cheers, thank for this information, embarrassingly I only realised I had posted in the Europa forum when I woke up (although I am definitely wanting to go!).

Great thanks, sorry for all the questions, i'm just very excited for this one! It's my number one park to visit in the world and i wasn't sure we'd ever be able to do it.

Hopefully we can get a physical copy of the map when we arrive as that will be easier to get my head around, especially if i can trace the transport routes... and i do love a good theme park map!

Unlike Phantasialand which is very compact in comparison I do think Europa Park is a two day park. Just getting around the park can take a while, especially if you are with a child. You really need that time to do all the little attractions and notice all the quirky things which make it a special park. If you are running around just trying to do all the big attractions in a day you will probably miss quite a lot.

Day 1 you can run around with energy and tick off all the big attractions. On day 2 when you are a bit more tired and know the layout of the park you can take a more leisurely pace and do the things that you missed on dad 1 or want to do again.

Pretty sure there are physical park maps at the entrance in a few different languages.

The shows are mostly in German but some of them are worth a look.

Vogel Show. One of the shows I have seen in all my time.

The horse stunt show in the Spanish arena is pretty good, not sure what the theme is this year though. My advice is get there early as it fills up and the upper rows are really narrow and difficult to access (I stumbled but thankfully was fine).

The Spanish stunt show is the same as last year - Zorro. It’s an improvement on the previous Red Baron show.

The only new show for this year is in The Globe. It has thus far received mixed reviews. If you’re trying to narrow them down, I’d prioritise the ice show, the Spanish stunt show and Big Moments at the Italian Teatro. The new Snorri 4D film is receiving positive reviews too.
