What kind of park is it?
Plopsaland Belgium is a family park on the Belgian coast, in De Panne. The park attracts more than 1.3 million visitors every year. There you'll meet the well-known Studio 100 characters, such as Kabouter Plop, Maya the Bee, Bumba, Vic the Viking, Pete the Pirate, Mega Mindy and Samson & Marie.
There are more than 55 attractions, from gentle rides for toddlers to thrilling roller coasters. The highlight is The Ride to Happiness by Tomorrowland, which was voted Europe's best roller coaster in 2025 and 2026. Until recently, the park was called Plopsaland De Panne.
How is the park laid out?
The park is made up of worlds themed around the Studio 100 characters:
- Plopsaland Plaza: the square at the entrance, with the Plopsaland Shop.
- Het kabouterbos: Kabouter Plop's Ploptuin and Het Bos van Plop.
- Mayaland: the largely indoor world of Maya the Bee.
- Circus Bumba: an indoor area with Op Reis met Bumba and the Bumba Theater.
- Kermisplein: Samson & Marie's funfair.
- Wickieland and the Piratenzone: Vikings, pirates and water rides.

How the park began
Plopsaland opened on 29 April 2000 and grew into Belgium's most visited family park. The park is part of the Plopsa Group and was recently renamed Plopsaland Belgium, just like its sister parks Plopsaland Ardennes and Plopsaland Deutschland.
In 2025 the park celebrated its 25th anniversary with the 25 Celebration Parade and the new attraction Wickie's Wervelwind. The anniversary celebrations continued until the end of 2026, with Rijschool Suikerbuik and the themed restaurant Piratengrill as new additions.
In 2027: Plopsaland Plaza
Plopsaland is building Plopsaland Plaza, which at 25 million euros is the biggest expansion in the park's history. The centrepiece will be the Vliegende Cinema, a flying simulator in which you soar over Europe with Maya the Bee. The official opening is on 13 March 2027.
The square will also get a Grand Café, a bowling alley and a new station for the Plopsa Express, the train that runs through the park.
