Discover 't plezantste land
What kind of park is it?
Bobbejaanland is a family theme park with more than forty attractions, surrounded by greenery. Thrill-seekers can head for roller coasters such as Fury, Typhoon and Dreamcatcher, and the giant frisbee Sledge Hammer. For families there are classics like Revolution, Speedy Bob and the Wild Water Slide. The youngest visitors can play in the indoor Kinderland.
The park opened on 31 December 1961. Its founder was Bobbejaan Schoepen, the Belgian singer and whistler in the cowboy hat. On the marshy Abroek estate he built a theatre hall and a swimming pond with a beach. From this grew 't plezantste land ('the most fun land'), as the park calls itself. In 2026 Bobbejaanland celebrated its 65th birthday.
How is the park laid out?
Bobbejaanland has six areas:
- Bobbejaan Schoepenplein: the welcome square by the entrance, with coffee, The Lake House and the biggest shops.
- Land of Legends: the four elements, with Fury, Typhoon, Sledge Hammer, Naiads Waters and the Bootvaart.
- Adventure Valley: jungle adventure, with Revolution, Naga Bay, King Kong, the Reuzenrad and Banana Battle.
- Desperado City: the Wild West at the heart of the park, with Speedy Bob, Dreamcatcher, El Rio and the Pony Ride.
- Mystery Bay: explorers by the water, with the Wild Water Slide, Bob Express, Terra Magma and The El Paso Special.
- Kinderland: the indoor play paradise for the little ones, with Oki Doki close by.
Opening times:
The 2026 season ran until 15 November inclusive. During Bobbejaanland Wintert the park is open from 5 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 inclusive, from 11:00 to 19:00. After that it is closed until the end of April 2027.
Prices:
At the ticket office you pay € 49.90 from 1.40 metres and € 46.90 for children between 1 and 1.40 metres. Children under 1 metre go free. Online it is often cheaper, from € 27.90 (as of November 2026).
New in 2027:
According to the park, in 2027 you'll get to discover Nickelodeon Land and three brand-new attractions. Work on the new area is already under way.
Land of Legends and Fury
In 2019 Bobbejaanland opened its first themed area with a complete storyline: Land of Legends. Here the Guardian of Elements watches over the four natural elements of air, earth, fire and water. Each attraction represents an element. The showpiece is Fury, according to the park the fastest triple-launch coaster in the Benelux, reaching 106.6 km/h.
The same area is home to Typhoon, Sledge Hammer, the water playground Naiads Waters and the gentle Bootvaart. For food, head to Fogo Burger or Panos.
Halloween and Bobbejaanland Wintert
In autumn Bobbejaanland turns into a park full of frights. In 2026 Halloween celebrated its twentieth edition, with seven haunted houses, spooky zones, shows and evening openings until 21:00. The little ones get their own zone and an anti-monster amulet.
From 5 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 inclusive it's Bobbejaanland Wintert, with skating on the pond, Father Christmas, wintry shows and a large share of the attractions. Read more on our Shows and parades page.
