What kind of park is it?
Heide Park Resort is a large theme park with more than thirty attractions, shows and rides. The park is part of Merlin Entertainments and is known for its "Big 7": seven big roller coasters and thrill rides, from the wooden giant Colossos to the drop tower Scream.
There's plenty for young children to do too. In Peppa Pig Land and on Drachenzähmen – Die Insel, all the rides are designed for children from around two or three years old. The oldest attractions, such as the Floßfahrt and the Panoramabahn, have been running since 1978.
How is the park laid out?
The park is set around a large lake and is divided into these areas:
- Eingangsbereich: the entrance area with the Service Center, the Heide Park Shop, the Nostalgiekarussell and the Heide Park Express.
- Bucht der Piraten: the pirate bay with KRAKE, Big Loop, the Bounty and the ToPiLauLa-Schlacht.
- Transsilvanien: the spooky village with Flug der Dämonen, Scream, Toxic Garden, the Bobbahn and Dämonen Gruft.
- Land der Vergessenen: Colossos, Desert Race and the Maya-Tal with La Ola.
- Exploria: Ghostbusters 5D, Mountain-Rafting, the Wildwasserbahn and the Wild West town for children.
- Peppa Pig Land and Drachenzähmen – Die Insel: two worlds for the youngest visitors.

Halloween at Heide Park
In October, Heide Park celebrates Halloween with decorations, shows, a children's programme and a Mittelaltermarkt. On days with late opening hours you can ride the roller coasters in the dark, and there are fireworks over the lake. From around 4 pm the Scare Zone comes to life, with horror mazes for visitors aged 16 and over (separate ticket).
The park will announce the dates for Halloween 2027 later. During the day, the atmosphere is suitable for younger children too.
Buy your ticket online
Tickets are only sold online. It's also best to book a parking ticket in advance: it costs more on the spot.
Start at the back
The park's tip: after opening, head first to the back of the park. The queues there are often shorter.
Use the app
The Heide Park app shows the waiting times, show times and the park map. Our own waiting times page shows them too.
