If you are planning a trip to Europe and are looking for theme parks to delight the family, two names certainly come to mind: Disneyland Paris and Europa-Park.
Both offer unforgettable experiences, but each has unique characteristics that may influence your choice. In this article, we’ll help you decide which destination is right for you, with tips on how to make the most of each park and how our accommodation in Ambilly can make your trip even more special!
Disneyland Paris: Disney Magic and Enchantment
Before you pack your bags to visit the enchanted world of Disney, here are some important things you should know:
What to expect from the park
Disneyland Paris is made up of two parks: Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. In the former, you will be transported to a fairytale world, with the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle, magical parades and classic characters. At Walt Disney Studios, the attractions are more focused on cinema and behind the scenes, with areas dedicated to Pixar and Marvel.
Best times to save
The months of January, February and November tend to have lower ticket prices, especially on weekdays. These dates also help you avoid large crowds, allowing you to enjoy the attractions more.
Best season to visit
European summer (June to August) is a great time to enjoy all the outdoor areas and nightly shows, but be prepared for crowds. For a quieter experience, fall (September to October) offers pleasant weather, seasonal decorations (like Halloween) and shorter lines.
Europa-Park: Adventure and Cultural Diversity
Located in Germany, close to the French border, Europa-Park is known for its themed areas based on European countries, breathtaking attractions and excellent value for money.
What to expect from the park
With over 15 themed areas, Europa-Park combines adrenaline, shows and culture. The Silver Star rollercoaster is a must-see for speed lovers, while the Voletarium enchants with a flight simulator over the landscapes of Europe. Here, every detail has been designed to transport you to different corners of the continent.
Best times to save
Just like at Disney, the months of January, February and November are ideal for cheaper tickets. Another tip is to take advantage of package deals, which include a stay at the park's themed hotels.
Best season to visit
Summer is vibrant and perfect for enjoying the water attractions, but the European winter transforms the park into a true Christmas fairytale, with Christmas markets and enchanting decorations.
