Who it's for
Families with children of all ages and teenagers

The Astérix and Obélix park is 35 km north of Paris and 12 from Senlis. It has about fifty rides and shows spread over five worlds taken from the comic: Gaul, the Roman Empire, ancient Greece, Egypt and the Vikings.

Who it is for

For thrill-seekers, Toutatis (51 metres, 110 km/h), Oziris and Goudurix, with seven loops. For the family, the Galère, the Menhir Express or the Rivière d'Elis. For little ones, Idéfix's forest, with slides and giant mushrooms, and rides made to their size.

Practical details

The park is open seasonally: check the calendar and prices on its website before you go, because they change by day. It has three hotels of its own in the forest. With children, it is a full-day plan; combine it with an afternoon in Senlis.
