Europa-Park increases admission prices: Visitors show incomprehension
in the heart of Baden-Württemberg, more precisely in Rust, there is a large outcry among the amusement park visitors. The popular Europa-Park has announced that the admission prices are increasing again from the 2025/26 season. This step triggered resentment with many fans and causes numerous visitors to express their concerns on social media.
The Europa-Park is one of the most visited amusement parks in Germany and attracts millions of guests from home and abroad every year. Under the motto "The best amusement park in the world", the park with its impressive attractions, such as the highest roller coaster in Germany, ensures thrill and fun. But the joy could soon be angry with visitors, because the new prices could have a serious influence on many families and young people.
new prices and effects for visitors
From the coming season, a day ticket for adults will be 73 euros in the high season, while in the low season it is 64.50 euros. If you decide to buy your ticket at the box office, you even have to pay 10 euros more. For an adult who buys a ticket on site, this means 83 euros in the high season. There are also price increases for children; Miret tickets now cost 62.50 euros in the high season and 54.50 euros in the low season.
Sure that a family with two adults and two children in the high season now has to raise between 250 and 300 euros for admission. For many a considerable amount that makes a visit to the park a luxury and no longer a spontaneous destination. If you want to save in autumn, you have the opportunity to use a special Halloween offer in which the admission prices are reduced to 52 euros (box office 62 euros).
price adjustments and the reactions of visitors
The additional costs are not surprising. As early as 2024, admission prices were raised from 65 euros to 69.50 euros. This repeated increase resulted in an increase of around five percent. According to Roland Mack, the owner of the park, this increase is justified by the increasing operating costs. The increased expenses for raw materials and services contribute to an enormous level of price increase. But the understanding of such increases does not seem to be widespread among visitors.
The reviews on social media are anything but positive. Many visitors find the prices outrageously high and compare the costs for a visit to the Europa-Park with the expenses for a short vacation. One user commented: "It seems to me as if you no longer want to see a family of several people in the park", while others believe that prices are too high and that a portable solution for families is missing. Some demand the introduction of a family ticket to reduce financial pressure.
However, some commentators recognize that the price-performance ratio can be consistent compared to other amusement parks. "When you consider what you get in the Europa-Park, the price is still acceptable," some visitors to understand the price increase. The discussion about the price increases is therefore diverse and shows that opinions about the future of the amusement park are split.
Future developments in the Europa-Park are being followed carefully, and it remains to be seen how public perception will continue to develop in these questions, as www.memerkur.de reports .
