Europe’s Best Theme Parks: Rides, Shows and Easy Day Trips

We recorded this episode after visiting theme parks across Europe over the last several years. We talk about the parks that stood out, which ones are worth a full day, how they compare and what works best for teens, families and easy weekend trips.

Episode Summary

Europe’s theme parks all have their own style, and in this episode we go through the ones we’ve visited the most, including Disneyland Paris, Gardaland, Efteling and Tivoli. Also the one we really want to go to – Europa Park.

We share how we planned each visit, the food we liked at different parks, the shows we made time for and what surprised us along the way. Also we cover how to make the days easier if you’re going with teens, younger kids or a mix of both, plus the small park-specific tips that always help.
