The neighbouring El Andaluz Hotel sells tickets for Europa-Park. With their VIP pass, hotel guests can gain entrance to Europa-Park at 08:30 (30 minutes before the official opening time) and at 10:00 in winter (1 hour before the official opening time). The park has seasonal opening times.
The Europa-Park Resort offers many leisure facilities for all ages, including a swimming pool and a Oriental-style sauna area. The Golfpark Breisgau in Herbolzheim-Tutschfelden is only a 15-minute drive away.
This area is awesome. Something for kids and adults both. The roller coaster ride is fun. For kids there is poppy tower and a merry go round (even kids below 4 can ride this one).
Family-run Europa-Park is 65% bigger than Disneyland Park Paris (95vs.57 ha / 230vs.140 acres). Yet a normal day ticket is 25% cheaper: 47.50 vs. 63€ (adults), 40.50 vs. 56€ (children)! [updated 2017]
Even years after it's been built, this is one of the places that consistently has long queues all through the day. Plan your visit early or after 6pm in case of the prolonged opening times.
