Europa-Park Exclusive Pre-Opening on March 22, 2026

The excitement is building as anticipation grows nearly unbearable for many visitors. Germany's largest theme park, Europa-Park, will open its gates on March 22, 2026, for an exclusive pre-opening Sunday. Guests can experience the unique Europa-Park magic, spend an unforgettable time with loved ones, and get in the mood for the new season — all six days before the official season start on March 28, 2026.

Action-packed attractions, captivating shows, and unique experiences will make this Sunday truly special. The thrill of roller coasters, children's laughter, and the vibrant activity throughout the park provide the perfect prelude to an exciting 2026 season. Food and beverage outlets will treat guests to culinary delights, and numerous surprises await.

Europa-Park notes that not all attractions and offerings may be available during the pre-opening. The exclusive day primarily serves to heighten excitement and offer an early glimpse of the upcoming season.

From the official season start on March 28, 2026, the Principality of Monaco will shine as the 18th European themed area. Inspired by Mediterranean flair, guests will experience the country in all its facets around the Silver Star roller coaster, featuring magnificent architecture, elegant yacht harbors, and culinary highlights.

In the Icelandic themed area, in the Blue Fire Dome, Sally's Café will open. The well-known food creator Sally will run her first-ever café there, delighting guests with a selection of freshly baked cakes, coffee specialties, and small surprises from her repertoire.

In the Magic Cinema 4D, things will get splashy: Snorri, the lively mascot of the Rulantica water world, will make his screen debut. In the film “SNORRI 4D,” visitors young and old can dive into the waves with the beloved sixtopus and embark on a thrilling adventure.
