Your safety is our priority

Age & Height

There is a minimum age and height for some of the attractions. In addition to this, there may also be a maximum height. Visitors that are taller than the maximum height cannot use these attractions. These safety regulations and restrictions are provided by the TÜV (German Safety Standards Authority) and must be strictly followed.

In front of every ride that requires a minimum height, you'll find a measuring stick with which you can check if you or your child match the required height.

Children under a specific age and/or height can visit some of our attractions only when accompanied by an adult. You can find which attractions these are on our attraction overview page, by applying the filter 'accompanied by an adult'.

Furthermore, you can insert the age and/or height of your child on the attraction overview page and view the results for all attractions that your child can use.

'TÜV Süddeutschland' New Safety Certificate for Europa-Park

Europa-Park is the first theme park in the world to obtain a safety certificate from the 'TÜV Süddeutschland Bau und Betrieb GmbH'. “Europa-Park convinces with the consistency and logic of its safety concept for attractions”, is the conclusion of Wilhelm Schaaf, Head of the Certification Department for Attractions for the TÜV Süddeutschland. As part of the audit, over 40 rides in the park were tested for safety aspects. The basic requirement remains the technical individual tests of the rides according to DIN 4112 (guidelines for dimensioning and execution for temporary constructions), and according to the guidelines for the construction and operation of temporary constructions.

For several weeks, TÜV experts conducted the safety tests, for example, of electric, hydraulic and pneumatic components. They tested, amongst other things, speed and brake action as well as the subjectively-experienced driving sensation, and conducted employee audits.

Weather

Some attractions may only be open in summer or winter. You can find more detailed information on the respective attraction pages, the Europa-Park app and on the park map, available at Europa-Park.

Please note that, due to technical reasons or weather conditions (e.g. during ice, snow, strong wind, unusual high or low temperatures), there may be further closures or changes on various attractions at short notice.
