Parc Asterix

What to expect

Just half an hour’s drive north of Paris, Parc Astérix is deservedly one of the most popular family attractions in all of France. Renowned for its many themed rollercoaster rides, Parc Astérix is, as the name implies, inspired by the delightful adventures of the Astérix comic books and of many mythological tales besides. Among the numerous rides are Tonnerre de Zeus - literally Thunder of Zeus - the huge swinging boat that is La Galère, boat rides for all the family as well as small carousels for the youngest in your party. Children will also delight in the comic book parades, shows and re-enactments that add up to an immersive festive atmosphere. To start your day without queues, simply book your tickets in advance at Ticketeaster.
