Welcome to England! Welcome to the EUROPA-PARK Historama.

Inside the pyramid at the heart of EUROPA-PARK, discover the history of Germany’s biggest theme park and the entrepreneurial Mack family. Did you know that EUROPA-PARK was originally created to showcase MACK�Rides? So many visitors flocked to the park that they decided to expand, so the Italian�themed�area�was�opened�in�1982, and the European themed concept was born. The critically acclaimed stage designer and film-maker Ulrich Damrau was instrumental in the creation of the themed areas, along with the Mack family.

These days, EUROPA-PARK is one of the top ten theme parks worldwide, and MACK�Rides is a world leader in the creation of theme park rides. Roland Mack still manages Germany’s biggest theme park today, along with his sons and his brother Jürgen Mack.

Windmills are as characteristic of the�Netherlands as Edam cheese and Delfen porcelain. So it goes without saying that the sails of our Dutch mill are always turning. Experience first-hand an attack of wild pirates on a peaceful colony, during our ‘Pirates�in�Batavia’ boat tour. You can even be swirled around in coffee cups until you lose all sense of direction in the ‘Koffiekopjes’.
