Europa-Park, Germany's largest amusement park, is renowned not just for its vast array of attractions but also for its commitment to accessibility. Through extensive measures, the park ensures that all guests, including those with physical disabilities, can enjoy unhindered access to fun and adventure.

Accessible Adventures for Everyone

Strategies for inclusion and safety

The endeavor to integrate accessibility into all areas is evidenced by close collaborations with manufacturers, inspection organizations such as TÜV Süd, medical centers, and directly with people with disabilities. These partnerships are crucial for devising innovative solutions that enhance both accessibility and safety. The continuous optimization of attractions for wider accessibility underscores the park's clear commitment to an inclusive experience.

Comprehensive Accessible Services

Beyond the rides, Europa-Park also provides barrier-free access to restaurants, shows, and other services. This includes wheelchair-accessible transportation within the park, wheelchair rental at the main entrance, and over 20 wheelchair-accessible toilets. A specially designed care room, equipped with an adjustable bed and a wheelchair lift, ensures that even guests with severe disabilities can enjoy a comfortable stay.
