A trip to Europa-Park for Christmas
In the heart of Germany, the world's leading seasonal leisure park is celebrating its 35th anniversary and its 10the winter season (from November 27, 2010 to January 9, 2011). As with every edition, shows, entertainment, magic and enchantment will be on the agenda. But there is something new.
What's new
An Icelandic district opened its doors this year with the construction of the 55-meter-high "Bellevue" Ferris wheel, which has 42 gondolas. From a bird's eye view, there's a breathtaking view of the park's magnificent snowscape and the "Tomi Ungerer's Animal World" exhibition in the Mercedes-Benz Hall.
Numerous attractions are planned, such as the "Euro-Mir" and the "Eurosat" figure-eight roller coaster for the more adventurous. For outdoor enthusiasts, a gigantic ice rink, a toboggan run, a ski slope (for children - with the possibility of learning to ski), snowmobiles and the "Glaciar" bar, with an indoor temperature of -18°C, have been specially installed for this occasion.
Dédiés aux thèmes de l’hiver et de Christmas, le public peut découvrir de somptueux spectacles, déambuler à travers les différents quartiers du parc richement décorés ou encore faire une halte au marché de Noël de l’Allée Allemande et déguster un bon vin chaud et quelques saucisses grillées.
To dazzle children
Les plus jeunes seront également choyés avec « Le monde des merveilles hivernales » : un univers de jeux, de 2.500 m2, sur le thème du cirque, dans lequel ils pourront aussi profiter de représentations qui leurs sont spécialement consacrées dont une première : le spectacle multimédia « Euromaus en Live chez le Santa Claus ». Cette nouvelle technologie présente la mascotte de l’événement en 3D et offre la possibilité aux enfants de s’entretenir avec elle.
For the first time, the Land of Fire and Ice is taking part in the winter opening and offering visitors an additional 30,000 m2 of entertainment within family attractions such as the "Whale Adventures-Splash Tours", the "Lítill Island" playground and the "GAZPROM World" (the miracle of energy adorned with a thousand lights), which this year immerses in a Russian Christmas atmosphere. Numerous daily activities such as the storytelling of Russian Christmas tales, a drawing workshop, a photo booth with sending Christmas e-postcards and many other little Christmas surprises are planned inside. Outside the building, pony rides through the Icelandic Quarter delight the little ones.
