• Closed in late winter, from mid-January until the spring season, and on Dec 24 and 25
• Height and age rules apply on many rides, and some need an adult along, so check the ride list before promising a coaster
• Hotel guests get in early, before the regular opening time, when staying at the resort's own hotels

Germany's largest theme park splits its grounds into 18 themed areas, each built around a European country. Rides run from fairy-tale boat trips and the Fjord-Rafting river ride to Pegasus, a junior coaster the whole family can ride, and big coasters like Voltron Nevera and blue fire.

Smaller kids also get a ball pool and an adventure playground. The resort runs Rulantica, a separate water park, and six themed hotels.
