Theme parks are a family favourite! There are several different amusement parks scattered across Normandy, each offering guests unique rides, attractions, shows and dining all in one location. Follow the guide for a great day out!

Parc du Bocasse

Located in the heart of the Norman countryside, just twenty minutes drive from Rouen or Dieppe, Le Bocasse is Normandy’s oldest theme park. It is still family-run, and boasts a fantastic selection of rides for big and small. Thrill seakers will enjoy the Flash Tower, the mine train or the Jurassic Coaster, while little ones will have fun in the play areas and splash pool. There is also a 4D cinema and a water-themed sound and light show worth viewing. The Splash-O-Saure, which descends backwards into the water, is a family favourite! New for 2021 is Orochi, which is nothing less than Normandy’s highest and fastest roller coaster! Buzzy, the park’s mascot, will also be hanging out all season long for photos and cuddles.

FESTYLAND

If you’re in search of Normandy’s largest theme park, then look no further! Located just a few miles West of Caen city centre, Festyland has a true Norman spirit as it focuses on Vikings, William the Conqueror and 1066. Don’t miss the Drakkar Express or the 1066 roller coaster which are unique in France. With over 30 rides, four restaurants and a 3D cinema, the whole family will have hours of fun. Throughout the summer, there are also live performances bringing knights, Vikings, pirates and dinosaurs to life. New for 2021 is the yummy and quirky ‘French Caen Caen’ restaurant!
