Theme parks are very popular, and the number of people visiting them is record high. In many of them, not only children waiting for a miracle dream, but also their parents. Entertainment corners care about the interests of visitors, trying to attract them as much as possible. Created more than 40 years ago, theme parks in Europe offer many attractions, but each of them has its own “highlight”.
Europa Park, Germany
The main feature of Europe-park located in Germany is that the thematic zones are divided by country - their miniature copies are presented to visitors. The German organizers did not forget about Russia, and now our country is represented by wooden huts located next to the reduced Mir station and the Lada race track.
The huge park can be called a real spa vacation, as the creators of the exciting attractions took care not only of them, but also built luxury hotels near the park. In the entertainment center with the highest roller coasters, you can ride a boat, explore the wonderful world of the Vikings, walk through the intricate jungle, and even feel like a brave navigator confronting the storm. A considerable number of cafes located here will allow satisfying hunger with delicious national dishes.

Entertaining theme parks, the photos of which are presented in this article, have been receiving visitors for a long time. Efteling Park, located in Holland, is known for the fact that the creators of the future Disneyland in Paris came here to consult about their brainchild.
The theme of the oldest European amusement park since 1952 is dedicated to the famous heroes of ancient fairy tales, but over time it has become a modern entertainment resort, similar to Disneyland, but with its own infrastructure.
The entertaining part of it will delight all the children of the world, because there are attractions based on the famous fairy tales of H. H. Andersen, the brothers Grimm and S. Perot. The latest mystical building is the “Flying Dutchman”, which allows you to make a water trip with incredible descents and ascents.
The Hobbiton, New Zealand
Speaking about the theme parks of the world, one cannot but mention the amazing village in New Zealand, nicknamed the tourist Mecca of all Tolkien fans, who created a fantastic world of small and hospitable people. The hobbiton, built specifically for the Lord of the Rings scenes, was not destroyed after the filming was completed, turning miniature houses and caves into a real theme park.
The tourist attractions now include fascinating excursions along the Frodo and Sam routes, and tourists happily climb into a round mink dug in the hill to feel like a real hobbit. Drowning in vibrant colors and vibrant greenery, the fairytale paradise turned out to be a wonderful reality, even those who did not read about the brave heroes of Tolkien dream of visiting.
