The best time to visit an theme park: When you’ll have the most fun!
1. Early in the morning – Come right at park opening and use the first hours to experience the most popular attractions without long waiting times. Being there early is especially worthwhile for families!
2. Low season – Spring and fall (except holidays) offer fewer crowds. This means more time on rides and less waiting.
3. Weekdays – Visit the park on Mondays through Thursdays when fewer visitors are around and enjoy a more relaxing atmosphere.
4. Ideal when the weather is good – A sunny day is perfect, but especially hot days can quickly become exhausting. Spring and fall offer pleasant temperatures for a great park visit.
5. Special events – Check out events like Halloween or Christmas specials. These events offer unique experiences, even if they sometimes attract more visitors.

5 important tips for your visit to an theme park!
Arrive early!
To avoid long queues and make the most of your day, you should be at the park early. The first few hours after opening are often less crowded, and you can enjoy the most popular rides without long waiting times!
Pack snacks and drinks!
Snacks and drinks can help to keep your little adventurers refreshed and energized, especially during long stays in the park. Many parks allow you to bring your own food – useful for avoiding expensive park prices and giving your little ones a break from time to time. (Please note: some parks have exceptions, so check in advance!)
Dress for the weather and use sunscreen!Weather is an important factor to consider for a day at the theme park. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, as you will be walking a lot. And don’t forget the sunscreen, especially for a day outdoors – many parks even offer shady spots or indoor areas to escape the sun.
Avoid peak visiting times!
Theme parks are often more crowded on weekends and during holiday periods. If you can, plan your visit during the week or in the off-season to avoid the crowds. That way, you can enjoy the attractions in peace!
