Smoking at Europa-Park

New regulations since June 2026 – smoking will only be permitted in designated smoking areas.

Europa-Park is a place for shared experiences, welcoming families, groups of friends, and visitors from all over the world. Following an amendment to the Smoke-Free Environment Law in Baden-Württemberg, new legal regulations on smoking now apply to theme parks.

Since 1 June 2026, smoking at Europa-Park will therefore only be permitted in eight designated smoking areas. The regulation applies to cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, e-shishas, tobacco heaters, water pipes and similar vaping products.

The locations are clearly marked and can also be found, for example, in the Europa-Park & Rulantica app. We ask all guests to use these areas for smoking and thank you for your understanding.

Why does this regulation exist?

The state of Baden-Württemberg has extended its measures to protect non-smokers. The smoking ban will now also apply to certain outdoor areas, including theme parks, zoos and outdoor swimming pools. The aim is to protect children, families and other visitors in particular from tobacco smoke, whilst establishing clear rules for public areas. Europa-Park is implementing these legal requirements by creating clearly marked smoking areas.
