Easter is fast approaching!! But there's still time to book a self-catering holiday with HolidayBank and keep the family busy over the Easter Break. Why not consider a break close to one of Europe's many Theme Parks for fun on your doorstep!
With its 2.9 millions visitors a year, Futuroscope has enjoyed a spectacular success since it was first opened 10 years ago. Located near Poitiers, it is a unique amusement park based upon multimedia, cinematographic, special effects and audio-visual techniques of the future. It has several 3D cinemas along with other attractions and shows, some of which are the only examples in the world.
The second most popular theme park in Europe is Europa Park located in Rust, Southwest Germany. Along with the park and rides, there are countless shows on offer every day. These include a re-creation of the famous Shakespearian Globe theatre where you can see a light-hearted take on Shakespeare, an Acrobatics Show in an Italianate, an Ice Show and a Gladiator Show.
Thorpe Park brings you world beating rides - In 2002 it was Colossus, the worlds first 10 looping coaster, then a year later it was Nemesis Inferno (brother of the Nemesis at Alton towers), one of the worlds most intense coasters. Then in 2006, Thorpe Park gave us Stealth - Europe's tallest rocket coaster. Stealth blasts you from 0 - 80mph in 2.3 seconds and then up to 205ft, so it's not for the faint hearted!
PortAventura is one of the largest themeparks in Europe and also includes the Costa Caribe Aquapark. The theme is a "Journey of adventure" through exotic lands around the world, starting in the Spanish region of Cataluna. Every land features major themed rides, restaurants, bars, shops, attractions and live entertainment typical of each country & culture.
The Disney World Resort is the perfect place to spend a fun-filled day (or week!) that the entire family will enjoy. Established in 1971 with the induction of the Magic Kingdom it has expanded significantly since then adding four main theme parks - Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM-Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. It also has two water parks - Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.
