A trip to the theme park isn't just worthwhile for seniors with grandchildren. Europa-Park Rust is located in the scenic border triangle of Germany, France, and Switzerland and offers a variety of attractions. Also for thosewho prefer a quiet adventure and sightseeing. On top of that, the park offers a ticket discount for visitors over 60. A treat that many of the original fans are sure to enjoy. Because in 2025, Germany's largest amusement park will celebrate its 50th anniversary.
The idea that park visits are only worthwhile for grandparents once you reach retirement age is a thing of the past. On average, sixty-year-olds today are still miles away from being old. Traditional family images no longer fit the modern worldview. Children who could and want to give birth to grandchildren are no longer a supposed prerequisite for a fulfilling life. So why not, even in old age, grab some comfortable clothes and a backpack and enjoy a fun-filled day at an amusement park? Alone, as a couple, or with friends.
Entertainment areas and gourmet restaurants
Europa-Park offers a mix of action-packed and relaxing attractions for seniors in a total of 17 European themed areas. The typical architecture and vegetation of the various worlds invite you to sightsee, while the diverse restaurants and snack stands offer a place to relax and refuel with regional specialties.
Special offers are available at the "Eatrenalin" restaurant, where guests can order an eight-course menu, and at the fine-dining restaurant "Ammolite – The Lighthouse Restaurant," which has been awarded two Michelin stars and 18 Gault-Millau points. Visitors planning a short break in Rust can explore the water world at Rulantica. The Nordic-themed water world offers seniors a blend of adventure and relaxation. Guests can float through Rulantica lying on inflatable tubes, enjoy cocktails at swim-up bars, or retreat to the "Hyggedal" relaxation and sauna area.
Four Seasons at Europa-Park
In 2025, Europa-Park will have a special moment: Germany's largest theme park will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. For many seniors, this will be an opportunity to relive old park memories and fill their lives with new ones. There will be a variety of activities, events, and attractions to discover, such as the opening of the new interactive 3D dark ride "GRAND PRIX EDventure." A film about the Mack family, the owners of the park, is also scheduled for release worldwide. All of this under the laudable park motto: "Europe.Together.Experience."
Seniors who prefer action-packed attractions can discover 14 different roller coasters on their journey through the theme park. "Voltron Nevera" is a new attraction opening in 2024 and is sure to provide its passengers with a particularly thrilling experience. The approximately 1.400-meter-long track, with a loop and seven overhead elements, can accelerate to speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour. For a short time, the ride even offers a state of weightlessness. Quieter souls, on the other hand, will find fun on attractions like "Josefina's Imperial Magic Journey," gliding leisurely in a boat across the lake of a castle park. A tour on the "Panoramabahn" through the various themed areas also offers a more subdued experience, while Europa-Park's events and shows, where international artists delight visitors with their singing, dancing, acrobatics, and magic, provide a relaxing diversion.
Attractions for all ages and tastes
Europa-Park offers its guests a different atmosphere depending on the season. Bathed in the bright colors of flowers from spring to autumn, sparkling lights illuminate the themed areas and their Christmas decorations in winter. If the trip turns into a longer vacation, Europa-Park offers overnight stays in six of its own 4-star and 4-star superior hotels, which offer their guests five pool and sauna complexes as well as two fitness areas. Seniors who prefer adventure will feel at home in Silver Lake City, where teepees, covered wagons, and log cabins are available. The Europa-Park campsite boasts ample space with 80 tent pitches and 200 caravan pitches. For visitors aged 60 and over, the theme park currently offers an overnight stay with breakfast in one of the Europa-Park hotels, including one day admission to Europa-Park or the Rulantica water world.
There is no reason why people who have long since celebrated their sixtieth birthday should not spend at least one day at an amusement park.
