Theme park near berlin

[Barbara Isaac]

Hi I am 21 years old and I am travelling to Berlin next July with my friends and planning to visit a theme park..so which is best for us Heide park, Hansa Park or Belantis?

I'd say Heide Park or Hansa Park, but not Belantis! It also depends on you and your friends! If you are there just for the thrill, then I'd say Heide Park. But if you also like to have a nice theming, then Hansa Park. But don't forget, Hansa Park has also thrilling coasters and rides like Kärnan or Novgorod, but just not as much as at Heide Park.

I hope I could help you

PS: look that these states where the parks are located don't have summer vacation, otherwise the parks will be crowded! On this Website you can check out when the different german states have summer vacation

Heide-Park.

 

It's the biggest park with the most thrill rides. Definitely the best park if you're with a group of young people.

Colossos is one of the biggest wooden coasters in the world, Krake has a vertical drop, and there's a wing coaster, a launch coaster and even a rare bobsled coaster. Other rides include a rapid river, a log flume and a 70 m drop tower.

 

Stay away from the double-loop coaster and the inverted one, they're both terrible. Even if they have no queue, skip them.

Imho, Heide park is the best in Germany. As long as you are thrill seeker, otherwise I would say Europa park is the best. But the coaster line up is just great at Heide park, just wish some of the coasters were a bit longer. I guess you won´t regret if you go for Heide park

I chose Heide for my Berlin trip. It's a pretty big journey for a not-particularly-large park, but I spent a fun day there.

 

Colossos is fantastic-- the first half is right up there with El Toro, though the second half is definitely lacking. Desert Race was also a really nice surprise. Maybe I just like intamins.

 

The B&Ms meanwhile were nothing to write home about, despite their nice theming.

 

The bobsled was actually really really fun and a very solid, long, family coaster.

 

It's a very pretty park too. At times I felt like I had stepped into the RCT1 recreation of Heide Park park I remember so fondly as a kid.

If you can reach Soltau, I'd recommend Heide Park as well. Hansa Park is also great (and at the sea!), but a bit smaller.

 

Both take about 4,5 - 5 hours to reach if you take public transportation starting in Berlin, but both are worth the travel. There are busses ("Fernbus") travelling directly from Berlin to Soltau or Sierksdorf and are very cheap (e.g. Berlin -> Soltau: starts from 12,90€), especially if you book early. The busses are in good condition, have free WLAN, a toilet on board, lots of leg room and most of the time power outlets so you can charge your laptop/phone.

 

If you go by Deutsche Bahn, you can book tickes from 29€ (up to 68€) and it will take about 3,5 hours. I would recommend to take the bus if you don't mind travelling the extra hour, since you'd have to change trains two times with a small amount of time to reach your connecting train. And since some trains (especially ICE/IC) are notoriously late a few minutes, you might miss the connecting one. On the other hand, you might travel more than the 4,5hours by bus if there are traffic jams. I'd recommend to plan to stay more than one day, so you reach the park at one day, sleep in the vicinity and have a whole day to spend before travelling back in the evening of the following day or morning thereafter. Otherwise you'd spend more time in the bus than at the park and probably feel stressed out since you can't possibly ride everything you want to.

 

I can also recommend looking for airbnb or similar private/semi private offers - I just booked an appartment 65m from the Hansa Park for a week for a small fee. There are not many appartments in the Heide Park area, but if you have bikes or even drive there with a rented car, you could easily find some apartments ~ 5-10km near Heide Park.

Heide or Hansa for sure.
