Insider tips

Visit the most popular roller coasters immediately upon park opening to avoid long midday queues.

Bring swimwear and a towel stored in a locker, as the water park is a major destination during the warmer hours.

Check the park map to navigate the themed zones efficiently, as the park covers a significant geographic footprint.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to ride every attraction in a single day during peak July weekends, as lines for major coasters can exceed 60 minutes.

Good to know

The park operates seasonally, typically opening from May through late October, with full operation during the Danish school summer holidays.

Etiquette

Athletic footwear and clothing suitable for movement and water activities are recommended; swimwear is required for all water park attractions.
