Parc Astérix: A Must Visit Theme Park

If you are thinking about taking your kids on a nice vacation, and Disneyworld is not the kind of holiday activity you prefer, maybe you should visit Parc Astérix. Parc Astérix is a theme park — a world class one I must say — designed with Astérix and the story’s theme. Your kids will surely love some of the adventures and excitements offered by this theme park based on the adventures of the popular cartoon character.

Parc Astérix is located just north of Paris. The surrounding area is actually a protected forest, so you can expect some great scenery around the theme park. Parc Astérix offers countless — rather humorous — adventures that both you and your kids could enjoy. You can enjoy experiences through ancient Gaul, the Roman Empire and the middle ages to today’s 21st century.

Meet the Gauls of prehistoric times or travel through Rome and Ancient Greece. You can even see some of the most popular characters such as the three musketeers while you enjoy rides and amusements throughout the theme park. The theme park currently hosts 30 permanent rides as well as several shows and entertainment options while you are there.

The Parc Astérix is just 22 miles off Paris, so you can arrange a nice stay at one of Paris’s fabulous hotels and enjoy the city while you are there as well. Your kids will enjoy a couple of days exploring the theme park, and the family vacation will be one of the best you ever experienced.
