For families who have beaten cancer

Rediscovering the joy of life together

A place of rest and joy for families in difficult times

For the children and their families, the stay at the Europa-Park Children's House Kleine Helden is completely free of charge and lasts five days. From the diverse attractions and offerings of Europa-Park to the Rulantica water world, excursions to the Taubergießen nature reserve, a visit to the Europa-Park TALENT ACADEMY or YULLBE, the region offers countless opportunities to rediscover the joy of life.

Find new paths together

The families of retired Europa-Park employees are supported on a voluntary basis. A close partner is the German Children's Cancer Foundation in Bonn, which is responsible for the professional selection of families.

For Europa-Park owner Roland Mack, this is a project very close to his heart:

"For our 50th anniversary, we decided to create a permanent facility for families facing serious challenges, in addition to the many large-scale social initiatives we have. The target group are children with cancer who are slowly returning to normal life after their serious illness. A week-long stay with their families at Europa-Park and the Rulantica water world is intended to restore their zest for life and help them return to normality. Family cohesion is particularly important after the severe stress of cancer. Not only the sick child itself, but also its siblings and parents have been through a great deal. Our goal: to further support healing through the joy of life."

Strong together

The construction of the children's house is supported by committed partners who are working with Europa-Park and the MACK Group to realise this project of the heart.

Foundation RTL – Wir helfen Kindern e.V.

The ‘Little Heroes Children's House’ project is being carried out in close collaboration with the ‘RTL – Wir helfen Kindern e.V.’ foundation. The project aims to provide long-term support for children and young people in need. Since 1996, the foundation has provided over €300 million in funding to thousands of selected children's aid projects in Germany and around the world.
Wolfram Kons, the foundation's chairman, emphasises that, together with Europa-Park and the Mack family, significant achievements can be made. The children's house provides families with renewed vigour after serious illness and is intended to become a lasting part of a strong alliance dedicated to helping others.

DJ BoBo – the patron of the Children's House

DJ BoBo supports the children's house as a patron out of personal conviction: "It's important to me to support families and children who have experienced difficult times," he says. He has been friends with the Mack family and Europa-Park for decades. He believes that the children's house is a wonderful initiative and is delighted to support it, particularly for the benefit of the families who find new strength and confidence there.

German childhood cancer foundation

Since 01.01.2026, the German childhood cancer foundation has been a partner of the 'Little Heroes Children's House'. Based in Bonn, the foundation supports children with cancer and their families by providing education, advice, information, financial assistance and clinic-based, patient-oriented research projects.
As part of this project, the foundation's team is responsible for the professional selection of participating families and organises their stay. Acting as the interface between the families, the MACK Group and the RTL Foundation, the foundation ensures that everything runs smoothly, allowing families to enjoy their break worry-free.

Förderverein für krebskranke Kinder Karlsruhe e.V. – "Stelzenmännchen"

The Förderverein für krebskranke Kinder Karlsruhe e.V. has been helping families affected by cancer for over 37 years. As well as providing individual family support, parent accommodation and sibling care, hospital support, research funding and the fulfilment of heartfelt wishes, the association's voluntary work has included facilitating valuable family breaks at Europa-Park for many years. The association brings this expertise to its collaboration with the 'Little Heroes Children's House'. The staff and volunteers are very familiar with the needs of the families. The association is therefore all the more delighted to be part of this special place, where the focus is on spending time together and finding new joy in life.
