The cost of a day in the amusement parks

Since most attractions can only be used above a certain height, small children often get free entry to amusement parks. However, there are differences here too. While children up to three years old do not pay in most parks, the Holiday Park, for instance, adjusts entry fees by height: if you're taller than 33 inches, you pay the children's price.
These parks have the most attractions
On average, you will find between 26 and 38 attractions in the top ten amusement parks in Germany. Europa-Park stands out with a total of 69 rides. Ultimately, you must decide which attractions are most important to you. Thrilling roller coasters like 'Krake' at Heide Park Resort or more fun for kids like the soapbox race at Erlebnispark Tripsdrill.
When it comes to a family outing, the fun of the children is always paramount. To give the little ones an unforgettable day, you should make sure there are enough rides for kids when choosing the park. Erlebnispark Tripsdrill and Hansa Park offer many attractions for four to twelve-year-olds.
