The amusement park is situated approximately 1 hour drive from Paris. It has an ample parking lot for cars. The coach park is big but a little confusing to navigate to it if it's your first time here, but it's next to the entrance to the park. Also here is the shuttle bus stop. The staff all speak English. If coming with groups the ticket check goes nicely with few minutes waiting. The park is big and you can find all sorts of rides from smooth ones to nice challenging roller coasters. The restaurants inside are ok but some of them should give more quality food compared to the price per meal. The park is clean and tidy and using the map is easy to navigate between the rides. The Gaul - Roman match show in the Arena is interesting but not really worth it. Can spend an entire day and still not visit every corner of the park. Beside the rides you can enjoy nice walks or relaxing next to the lake. Really recommend visiting the amusement park with friends and family. Wheel chair users can easily move around the park.
Fantastic day out, bought the Gold level fast passes so walked on to most rides, wasn’t overcrowded. Little bit more of a language barrier then say at Disney but it didn’t cause us any issues. Highly recommend visiting even if you don’t know the comics as the rides are amazing!
Good theme park in northern France, 45 minutes from Paris. If you enjoy Asterix and Obelix you will enjoy this parc. Themed after them. Easy to get to, easy parking. A bit expensive tbh 20 euro at the time of writing the review. The rest of the parc is a bit on the cheaper side of the theme parc pricing. Merchandise is a bit more reasonable priced then other Parcs, also goes for food and drinks. They have some really great coasters, and also a lot of lesser thrill rides for if you have smaller children. Indeed a parc for the whole family. The "Greek" part of the parc seems a little worn down and could use a bit of a overhaul but the Icarus ride there is really great. The best parts are the Egyptian area and the village area. Recommend if you are in the area!
Great theme park. Rides are great and queues are short. Longest queue is around 45 mins on bank holiday in August. They have worked hard on the theming. So much better than Alton Towers.
Great day at Parc Asterix on Halloween 2025. The park was decorated fantastically and the staff did a great job creating scary moments (my son was terrified by the chainsaw man). The Parc feels like it's split in two, one area around the lake feels more dated and in need of refurb, whereas the area with Toutatis is much better. The Parc has a great selection of rides and coasters - Toutatis in particular is amazing and worth the admission alone. Kids enjoyed it and I'd happily return. Would recommend it over Disney for rollercoaster enthusiasts.
Parc Astérix was hands down the best theme park experience we had in Paris. It’s more affordable than Disneyland Paris and offers a wider variety of rides; especially for thrill seekers. From roller coasters to immersive themed zones, the park delivers nonstop fun without the need for a fast pass. The only real downside is accessibility. Unlike Disney, which is easily reached via public transportation, getting to Parc Astérix requires a bit more planning. It’s located outside the city in Plailly, and while there are shuttle options, they’re less frequent and not as straightforward. Food options are pretty much what you’d expect from most parks; not the best, but they get the job done. Another thing to note: their operating hours are more limited than other theme parks we’re used to. Depending on the season, the park may close earlier or be open fewer days, so it’s worth checking ahead when planning your visit. Still, once you arrive, the experience is absolutely worth it. We loved our time there and would recommend it to anyone looking for high-energy attractions and a break from the usual tourist circuit.
Lovely place, full of amazing rides with a good choose of rollercoasters for everyone. Lots of activities live people in costumes and the Coliseum where performances take place. It's like Disneyland.
Great theme park, with an attention to the theme throughout the park and each area. The staff were obviously happy at work and had fun with the visitors. It was hot the day we visited and the staff had water pistols, a great fun addition to the queue. The park was very clean and well looked after, the rides all worked all of the day. My only negative is that Toutatis was not operating all day and no one seemed to be able to tell us why. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely dolphin & sea lions show We watched the dolphin & sea lion show at Parc D'Asterix's Theatre de Poseidon and truly enjoyed it. It's in French though so we do not recommend it for those who do not understand the language since it's difficult to understand what they are saying. The show was entertaining & informative with truly talented trainers and disciplined animals. Date of experience: August 2017
Cool aquatic show, just not that great either
(Translated by Google) Enjoy a spectacle of professional divers taking great risks by jumping from a ladder with a platform reaching 25 meters in height. Sensations guaranteed. Lots of humor and puns in this arena show. Absolutely worth discovering. (Original) Assurez à un spectacle de plongeurs professionnels qui prennent de grands risques en sautant depuis une échelle avec une plate-forme culminant à 25 mètres de hauteur. Sensations garanties. Beaucoup d’humour et de jeux de mots dans ce spectacle en arène. A découvrir absolument.
(Translated by Google) "Les Plongeons de l'Olympe" is a show that will delight the whole family. Combining humor, competition, and impressive performances, it offers a refreshing and captivating moment of entertainment. It's a great opportunity to take a break between two attractions while enjoying a quality show. (Original) Les Plongeons de l’Olympe » est un spectacle qui ravira toute la famille. Entre humour, compétition et performances impressionnantes, il offre un moment de divertissement rafraîchissant et captivant. C’est une excellente occasion de faire une pause entre deux attractions tout en profitant d’un show de qualité.
(Translated by Google) At Belenos, at Toutatis! It was a nice show in 2010 and well educationally substantiated, but unfortunately the only relationship I could find with the world of Asterix was the "Babaorum". Because no, it doesn't belong anywhere, and certainly not in the generally friendly character of Parc Asterix. The park has depicted many themes, cultures and history, but this "Babaorum" can be left far behind in history. I still have photos of the Dolphin Show, I am posting them with this review out of respect for these graceful animals. That which was was must not be lost pointlessly. It is also to be able to see clearly that the only right place for these animals is the wild. Update 2023: fortunately the dolphins and sea lions are gone and this attraction has been converted into an acrobatic diving show with people (who are indirectly fed with this show). There are now -no- animals left in captivity in Parc Asterix. Birds build nests in the big trees, Wild boars keep themselves cleverly hidden, and that is exactly like in the Asterix comic books. Top! (Original) Bij Belenos, bij Toutatis! Het was in 2010 een mooie show en goed educatief onderbouwd, echter de enige relatie die ik kon vinden met de wereld van Asterix was helaas het "Babaorum". Want nee, het hoort nergens niet, en zeker niet in het over het algemeen juist zo vriendelijk karakter van Parc Asterix. Het park heeft veel thema's, culturen en historie in beeld gebracht maar dit "Babaorum" mag ver in de historie achter ons gelaten worden. Ik heb nog wel foto's van de Dolfijnenshow, ik post ze bij deze review uit respect voor deze gracieuze dieren. Dat wat was was mag niet zinloos verloren gaan. Het is namelijk ook om nog eens duidelijk te kunnen zien dat de enige juiste plek voor deze dieren de vrije natuur is. Update 2023: de dolfijnen en zeeleeuwen zijn gelukkig weg en men heeft deze attractie omgebouwd naar een acrobatische duikshow met mensen (die indirect met deze show gevoerd worden). Er leven nu -geen- dieren meer in gevangenschap in Parc Asterix. Vogeltjes bouwen nestjes in de grote bomen, Everzwijnen houden zich slim verborgen, en dat is precies zoals in de Asterix stripboeken. Top!
(Translated by Google) There is no longer a dolphin show here as in the past, but a 20-minute diving show with the apotheosis being a dive from 25 meters high into a pool 3 meters deep. Not bad. Now I just constantly wonder what happened to the dolphins ;-). (Original) Hier geen dolfijnshow meer zoals in het verleden, maar een duikshow van 20 minuten met als apotheose een duik van 25 meter hoog in een bad van 3 meter diep. Niet slecht. Ik vraag me nu alleen constant af wat er met de dolfijnen is gebeurd ;-).
