Yesterday, my family and I visited Europa Park in Rust, Germany, one of the largest and most famous theme parks in Europe. The park is beautifully designed, with different sections representing various European countries, each offering unique rides, attractions, and delicious food options. We were impressed by the variety of cuisines available, allowing us to taste dishes from different cultures all in one place. The park is very well-organized, and the rides were absolutely thrilling well maintained and enjoyable for all ages. However, our experience wasn’t perfect. The biggest issue was the extreme heat and the lack of cooling systems in waiting areas, restaurants, and cafes. Unlike many other major theme parks around the world, Europa Park doesn’t seem to have AC, fans, or shaded cooling spots in queues or dining areas, which made the visit quite uncomfortable, especially under the scorching sun. Another downside was the behavior of some employees. At the Arthur ride, after finishing the attraction, we went to check our ride photos, and the staff member was extremely rude and disrespectful , speaking to us harshly simply because she claimed she couldn’t hear us properly even though we clearly stated our cart number. Later, in the Lindt chocolate shop (Switzerland Section), an employee gave us unwelcoming looks and side-eyes, likely because we wear hijabs. Her attitude made us so uncomfortable that we left without buying anything, despite our initial excitement to get some chocolates. Overall, Europa Park is a fantastic theme park with incredible rides, great food, and a well-structured layout. However, the lack of cooling systems in hot weather and the unprofessional behavior of some staff members really affected our experience. The park should improve guest comfort by adding fans or AC in waiting areas and train employees to be more respectful and inclusive toward visitors from all backgrounds.

First time at Europa Park and it definitely lived up to the hype. The park is huge, super clean and really well organized. My ride ranking: 1. Blue Fire was my absolute favorite. Smooth, fast and so much fun. I rode it twice and would have gone again if I could. 2. Voltron and Silver Star both came in close behind. Voltron’s launch is wild, and Silver Star’s height and airtime make it unforgettable. I also did both of these twice. 3. Wodan looks amazing but is way too loud and rough for my taste. 4. Euro Mir is a cool idea, but it just gives you a headache more than anything. Overall, an awesome park with tons to do and a great atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

This place is amazing. There are so many different roller coasters and so many different stuff to do and the rides are incredible, best in the world. In the perfect condition so all the costers are very smooth which is very important. So you can enjoy entire day without having neck pain. I visited a few disneylands parks and in comparison this one is way nicer.

It’s amazing theme park, I think the best in Europe, the approach to disabled people is amazing and so respectful 🙏🏻 The only thing that really bother me is that people smoking all over the park and it’s so gross, please define some area for smoking and that’s all :) Why small kids need to breathe this poison? I thought Germany is more advanced in public health care 😅 how this is legal? Do the silver star it’s amazing!!

Beautiful, with several attractions for kids and adults. We started first attraction before 11:00, allthough official openkng was at 11:00. We also saw the parade of halloween which was nice. Did not have time for the shows as we wanted to do as many attractions as possible. Queue was also not too bad, except for few attractions , all others were below 30 min, some even below 10, we managed to do more then 20! Only Contra the parking places are so small that if you have a big car might be difficult to get out .

It was a very amazing experience in the hallowinter season ! There were many people but it was a public holiday in France so it's normal. The employees are very quick and gentle. You will not regret your experience in this park if you like coasters or not. There is some experiences for all the people.

Amazing visit to a magical park. The grounds were well maintained and beautifully decorated for fall and Halloween. There were lots of shows and activities to fill the day as well as rides. The wait times for the rides seemed pretty reasonable. Overall a great experience.

They served a super stale Beer, not just for a pricy place a No-Go. Bartender was also very unfriendly. Really disappointing and Not worth a visit.

Really loved the service and drinks!

Always good service and amazing cocktails. The staff is very professional, friendly and filled with humor! Especially David Wimmer, he entertained us the entire night!

Awesome bar on the fifth and top floor of hotel Colosseo. Has balconies on multiple sides so perfect for outdoor seating in warmer weather, or plenty of indoor tables for colder times. Amazing drink menu spanning page after page, and friendly helpful staff. What more could you ask for when ready to relax after a day enjoying Europa park.

Amazing place to spend the evening, the Bar is quite good, and the prices are affordable 👌

I went to this bar last time when i visited Europa-park, Excellent bar and great service. I do have a question that I hope someone can answer for me. I had a cocktail there that was called "Shadow Moonlight" but i cant find this cocktail on the internet. Hopfully someone can send me a picture of the ingredients, that would be super kind!!!

Underwhelming... It's a bar in a nice hotel with crazy expensive drinks, nothing special... The only reason this got 3 stars is because of the company I was with, and I will associate this place with that awesome time we had... If I were there with dreary company, this would've gotten 1 star...

Excellent bar in the lobby of Europa park's Spanish themed hotel, El Andaluz. Has outdoor seating for warmer weather but not as many outside tables as the close by Colosso hotel restaurants. Has indoor seating too with really nice decor making for an enjoyable experience.

The Time is 22 52 and there is no music anymore. Except everything is okay. Alcohol-free Cocktails are really nice.

Best bar and bar team of the complete resort! Even worth more than 5 stars! Try southern julep....

Best music, perfect drinks👍

Dear but lovely atmosphere ☺

Super cool place 🍸🍹🧋🍺

Bar

Great café in the hotel colosseo. Delicious cakes. Quick and friendly service.

Excellent view, good coffee but the same waiting time is in the park (20+ minutes)...

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the cafe has fallen into disrepair. The service takes its time and prefers to look around. Tables are cleared but left dirty. There were leftovers from the previous visit on almost every table. (Original) Leider hat das Café sehr nachgelassen. Bedienung lässt sich Zeit und schaut lieber durch die Gegend. Tische werden zwar abgeräumt, aber schmutzig hinterlassen. Auf fast jedem Tisch waren Reste der vorherigen Besuch.

Good

(Translated by Google) Charming terrace with a fantastic attraction for kids: dancing fountains! You can enjoy a snack and a drink while the kids have the time of their lives! Great menu and friendly staff. A wonderful spot for us at any time of day! (Original) Sfeervol terras met waanzinnige attractie voor kinderen: dansende fonteinen! Je kan hier een kleinigheidje eten en genieten van een drankje, terwijl de kinderen de tijd van hun leven hebben! Toffe kaart en vriendelijk personeel. Voor ons een heerlijk plekje op elk moment van de dag!

(Translated by Google) We checked out and wanted to eat ice cream in the courtyard in the nice weather. While we were looking at the different varieties we were ignored by the lady behind the counter and then she suddenly disappeared. After waiting forever, someone from the bar came over to us and kindly asked us how he could help us. Unfortunately, he explained to us at 11:30 a.m. that ice cream would only be sold from 12 p.m. So we were turned away half an hour in advance and we (3 adults) had to explain to the 2 little ones why we unfortunately can't eat ice cream together now. (Original) Wir haben ausgecheckt und wollten bei dem schönen Wetter noch ein Eis im Innenhof essen. Während wir uns die verschiedenen Sorten angeschaut haben wurden wir von der Dame hinter der Theke ignoriert und dann war Sie auf einmal verschwunden. Nach ewigem warten kam dann jemand von der Bar zu uns rüber, der uns freundlich gefragt hat wie er uns helfen kann. Nur leider hat dieser uns um 11:30 Uhr erklärt dass dass Eis erst ab 12 Uhr verkauft werden würde. Somit wurden wir eine halbe Stunde vorher abgewiesen und wir (3 Erwachsene) mussten den 2 kleinen erklären wieso wir jetzt leider kein Eis zusammen essen können.

(Translated by Google) I visited the Commedia dell'Arte Cafebar at the Europa-Park Hotel Colosseo and was, unfortunately, rather disappointed overall. The atmosphere is very appealing at first glance. The bar is located right on the hotel's piazza and exudes an Italian flair with its pretty decor, small tables, and cozy atmosphere. You'd expect a place to relax after a long day at the park. That was exactly what I was looking for – a good drink in beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately, the problem begins with the service. It takes a long time before you can even order. We sat for quite a while before someone came to our table. The preparation of the drinks also took significantly longer than expected. For a bar in a 4-star hotel with the standards of Europa-Park, this is simply inadequate. I was particularly impressed by the Aperol Spritz. At €9.90, it's on the higher end, which I'm generally willing to pay if the quality is right. But here, it was the thinnest Aperol Spritz I've ever been served – watery, lacking in flavor, rather carelessly thrown together. The price-performance ratio isn't right at all. The snacks are also anything but fair. A small plate of chips came to €5.30, simply overpriced for that quantity and quality. You can also read similar feedback online, and I can only confirm it. The food was overall "okay," neither particularly bad nor particularly good. But when you're paying that much for drinks and snacks, you expect something more than average. All in all, the picture doesn't match the high prices. The location is truly beautiful, and it would have been a great opportunity to perfectly round off the hotel experience. Instead, long waits, overpriced snacks, and weak drinks remain in the memory. For me, this justifies a maximum of 2 stars: One star for the pleasant atmosphere and ambiance. Another star because the food was at least okay. Unfortunately, that's all – the service and value for money are disappointing across the board. It's a shame, as there's so much more potential here. (Original) Ich habe die Commedia dell’Arte Cafebar im Europa-Park Hotel Colosseo besucht und war leider insgesamt eher enttäuscht. Die Atmosphäre ist auf den ersten Blick sehr ansprechend. Die Bar liegt direkt an der Piazza des Hotels und vermittelt ein italienisches Flair mit hübscher Einrichtung, kleinen Tischen und gemütlicher Stimmung. Man erwartet hier eigentlich einen Ort zum Entspannen nach einem langen Tag im Park. Genau das war auch meine Vorstellung – ein guter Drink in schöner Umgebung. Leider beginnt das Problem beim Service. Bis man überhaupt bestellen kann, vergeht sehr viel Zeit. Wir saßen eine ganze Weile, bis sich jemand an den Tisch bemühte. Auch die Zubereitung der Getränke dauerte deutlich länger als erwartet. Für eine Bar in einem 4-Sterne-Hotel mit dem Anspruch des Europa-Parks ist das schlicht unzureichend. Besonders negativ aufgefallen ist mir der Aperol Spritz. Mit 9,90 € liegt er im oberen Preisbereich, was ich grundsätzlich bereit bin zu bezahlen, wenn die Qualität stimmt. Aber hier war es der dünnste Aperol Spritz, den ich je serviert bekommen habe – wässrig, kaum Geschmack, eher lieblos zusammengeschüttet. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt überhaupt nicht. Auch die Snacks sind alles andere als fair kalkuliert. Ein kleiner Teller Chips schlug mit 5,30 € zu Buche. Für diese Menge und Qualität schlichtweg überteuert. Ähnliche Rückmeldungen liest man übrigens auch online, und ich kann das nur bestätigen. Das Essen war insgesamt „okay“, weder besonders schlecht noch besonders gut. Aber wenn man schon so viel für Getränke und Kleinigkeiten bezahlt, erwartet man etwas mehr als Durchschnitt. Alles in allem ergibt sich ein Bild, das nicht zu den hohen Preisen passt. Die Location ist wirklich schön und es wäre eine großartige Gelegenheit, das Hotelerlebnis perfekt abzurunden. Stattdessen bleiben lange Wartezeiten, überteuerte Snacks und schwache Getränke im Gedächtnis. Für mich rechtfertigt das maximal 2 Sterne: Einen Stern für die gelungene Atmosphäre und das Ambiente. Einen weiteren Stern dafür, dass das Essen immerhin in Ordnung war. Mehr leider nicht – denn Service und Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis enttäuschen auf ganzer Linie. Schade, hier wäre so viel mehr Potenzial vorhanden.

(Translated by Google) Thanks to good organization and additional friendly communication via email, everything went very well. We started on time and had a wonderful boat trip with lots of background information about flora and fauna. The hike back was a bit arduous given the temperatures, but easily doable with enough breaks. We felt very comfortable in the orchard and the wild boar steaks were amazing. (Original) Dank guter Organisation und zusätzlicher freundlicher Kommunikation per eMail hat alles sehr gut geklappt. Pünktlich ging es los und wir hatten eine wunderbare Bootsfahrt mit viel Hintergrundinformationen über Flora und Fauna. Die Wanderung zurück war zwar etwas mühsam, angesichts der Temperaturen, aber mit genügend Pausen gut machbar. Auf der Obstwiese haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und die Wildschweinsteaks waren der Hammer.

(Translated by Google) We rented 2 boats with a large group. During the two hours on the beautiful Tauberäßen, the expert guide and fisherman explained all the plants and animals as well as the history and ecological significance of the Tauberäßen. Optionally, you can hike back yourself after the 2-hour tour or have the minibus take you back to the parking lot at the start. (Original) Wir haben mit einer großen Gruppe 2 Boote gemietet. Bei den zwei Stunden auf dem wunderschönen Taubergießen hat der fachkundige Führer und Fischer alle Pflanzen und Tiere erklärt sowie die Geschichte und ökologische Bedeutung des Taubergießen. Optional kann man nach der 2h Tour auch selbst wieder zurückwandern oder sich mit dem Kleinbus wieder zum Parkplatz am Start bringen lassen.

(Translated by Google) We booked a boat trip with the Koch family in the summer and were totally surprised by Mr. Koch's knowledge.

(Translated by Google) We actually went hiking to the sugar bridge near Rust. By chance, Mr. Koch was there and persuaded us to go on a boat trip. We have not regretted the decision to drive through the Tauber Gießen with him. Everything was explained in a friendly and detailed manner, the landscape is great and there was no one else around except us. Then we got a very good description of the route and walked comfortably back to our car, Highly recommended, but you shouldn't rely on luck, but rather book well in advance. As little going on as it was here seems to be an exception. (Original) Wir sind eigentlich zum Wandern an die Zuckerbrücke bei Rust. Zufällig war Herr Koch vor Ort und hat uns zu einer Kahnfahrt überredet. Wir haben die Entscheidung mit Ihm durch die Taubergießen zu fahren nicht bereut. Alles wurde freundlich und ausführlich erklärt die Landschaft ist toll und es war außer uns Niemand unterwegs. Dann bekamen wir noch eine sehr gute Weg Beschreibung und sind gemütlich zurück zu unserem Auto gewandert, Sehr zu empfehlen allerdings sollte man sich nicht auf sein Glück verlassen, sondern lieber rechtzeitig vor buchen. So wenig los wie es bei uns war scheint eine Ausnahme zu sein.
