On time for the start of the season on 31 March, visitors of Europa-Park can discover the deep sea!

Deep below the Greek Village the new interactive theme ride “Abenteuer Atlantis” is awaiting the guests with a venturous expedition to the endless depths of the ocean. Many treasurehunters have tried before, but till this day nobody has found the legendary treasure hidden in Atlantis. With the help of Professor Carter and his assistant T-01, a shrewd turtle, the visitors of Europa-Park can now go on this fascinating treasure hunt, discovering the deep sea in stylised submarine boats. The adventure takes the visitors past extraordinary scenes with fascinating coral reefs, abandoned shipwrecks and colourful shoals. By means of state-of-the-art animation and computer technology, the visitors experience an interactive ride for the whole family. Children from four years on can go aboard this unforgettable expedition.

Fantastic worlds of adventure – fun and action guaranteed!

New: one of the oldest half-timbered houses of the Black Forest region, built in 1474, is the new architectural highlight, that welcomes the visitors in the German themed area.

More than 100 attractions and shows offer fun and entertainment for the whole family. Whether a trip to the stars in the dark coaster “Eurosat”, watching a buccaneer attack in “Pirates of Batavia” or a racy thrill ride on Europe’s highest and biggest roller coaster “Silver Star”.
