We had such a wonderful day here! Went on wednesday and it wasnt crowded at all, some rides were literally no queue, and the most we waited was maybe 7-10 minutes for Beaver lodge (Biberburg). It was amazing but make sure to bring extra clothes to change into as many rides are very splashy and you get out completely (or if lucky- partially) soaked. There are many rides and plenty of them are little kids and toddler friendly, also it has dragon cave, faitytale park and stuff to explore. Restaurants are nice, there are many so there were many free seats everywhere. Idk how it is on weekends but if you can I really recommend weekday! Also there are free safelock storages around the park. Loved it!
Best park we’ve been. Everything very well taken care of. Good variety, just big enough. The whole family loved it!
What an incredible visit, again, to Family Park.Everything was clean and the staff was super friendly. It's amazing what a great day you can have in Austria's biggest amusement park for really affordable tickets.We will be back for sure❤️
We absolutely love this place! ❤️ We’ve been coming here since our kids were 3 and 4 years old — now they’re 10 and 8 — and we’ve tried it in every season: at Easter, in summer, and in autumn as well. Most recently, we attended the Halloween party and watched the evening show at the end, which was a circus performance. The kids adored it! 🎪 The Halloween decorations were simply fantastic — so detailed and high-quality. We also really appreciate that there are plenty of restaurants and restrooms throughout the park.This time my mom came with us too — she doesn’t go on the rides, but she still loved the atmosphere, the environment, and the evening lights. ✨ We can warmly recommend this place to everyone. We’ve already been several times, and we’ll definitely be back again! 🎃👨👩👧👦
I love it here! We always have such a great time. The workers are really nice, and the atmosphere is amazing — so cheerful and full of fun. The carousels and rides make it perfect for all ages. Definitely one of my favorite places to visit!
