When it comes to family-friendly destinations in Austria, there’s no way around Familypark in Burgenland. We tried it out with our two kids (7 and 11 years old) – and we can honestly say: this place promises tons of fun, thrills, and a touch of magic!

Our first impression: clean, charming, and huge!

From the moment you enter, you can tell the park is made with love. Everything is spotless, beautifully designed, and the atmosphere feels pleasantly relaxed – despite its impressive size (14 hectares!). Shady tree-lined paths lead past lovingly detailed scenery that instantly sparks a sense of adventure.

Four Themed Worlds Full of Experiences

The park is divided into four creatively designed areas:

• Adventure Castle – medieval thrills and adrenaline kicks
• Adventure Island – water fun, pirates & daring maneuvers
• Farmyard – tractor rides, apple flights & plenty of animal fun
• Fairy Tale Forest – pure nostalgia, perfect for slowing down

The Fairy Tale Forest was a highlight for us – it brought back memories from our own childhoods. The shady oak forest is the perfect place to take a break from the action, while the charming fairy-tale scenes amazed even us parents.

Our Favorite Attractions (Especially for the Brave!)

The mix of playgrounds, water rides, and action-packed attractions is perfect for elementary school kids – but older kids and adults won’t be disappointed either.

Our personal top rides:

• 🎢 Götterblitz – pure adrenaline!
• 🐭 Rattenmühle – fast & full of twists
• 🧠 Leonardos Flugmaschine – creative & dizzying
• 🌪️ Stellarium – floating through the galaxy
• 🤪 Verrückte Vogelscheuche – a wild ride!
• 💦 Biberburg & Krokobahn – get ready to get soaked!

Tip:Pack a change of clothes – water rides almost guarantee you’ll get wet. On hot days, though, they’re a must!

Timing & Tips for a Relaxed Adventure

• Opening hours: 10 am – 7 pm, usually from early April to early November
• Best times to visit: Weekdays & outside school holidays – wonderfully quiet
• Park strategy:Head straight to the back after entry and start with the big attractions
• Familypark App: A must-have – it shows real-time waiting times!

🎂 Children under 3 get in free, and birthday kids up to 14 as well.
🎟️ Online tickets cost around €35–39. An annual pass is worth it for frequent visitors.

Food & Comfort

There are plenty of restaurants, snack stands, and shops – something for every taste. We thought the value for money was fair, and the regional specialties were a pleasant surprise! Also great: lots of seating and picnic areas. And the toilets? Impeccably clean.
