Plopsaland Deutschland is an amusement park built partly around children’s characters: there are areas called Majaland and Wickieland, children can meet Maya the Bee, Vicky the Viking, Heidi and others up close, and a new family stage show puts Maya in a story about dressing up and friendship. Tickets are priced by height rather than age, so it helps to know roughly where each child measures before you arrive. Buying online for a fixed date can come in under the gate price, though the online price changes from day to day; a flexible ticket instead lets you choose the day within a year. Priority access at the most popular rides needs a paid Express Pass, and the park’s app shows current wait times along with start times for shows and meet-and-greets. Parking tickets can also be bought online ahead of time, which saves queuing at the till. In autumn the calendar splits in two: the festival is pitched at families, while the Fright Nights are built on horror, action and live entertainment.

OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT
Family Intelligence
Why kids will love it
For families with small children, the height-based pricing works in your favour: the youngest get in free and the next band pays a fraction of the adult rate. The trade-off comes once a child passes that first band – from there the ticket costs almost as much as an adult’s, which is when the family ticket is worth comparing.
