Winter day from €32.90 online (price depends on the date; more expensive at the gate). Parking: €13 per car.
About the event
Bobbejaanland in the Kempen region opens for its second winter season with six decorated zones and thousands of lights. The big lake becomes an ice rink, you can meet Santa and stroll through a Christmas village full of treats. Thrill-seekers are not forgotten: Sledge Hammer, Typhoon, Fury, Dreamcatcher and Revolution keep running in winter, weather permitting. Street entertainment and shows round off the day. Tip: buy a dated ticket online, which is much cheaper than at the gate, and stay until closing time to see the park lit up. Parking costs €13 per car.
