Which attractions are not to be missed?
There are four main categories of attractions at Parc Spirou Provence:
- roller coasters,
- thrill rides,
- attractions for the whole family,
- simulators.
Our favorite is clearly the "Smurfs and the Magic Grimoire" simulator: kids and parents alike had a ball! Here you're in a bus, immersed in an action-packed scene alongside the little blue creatures.
As for roller coasters, there's something for all ages, or rather all sizes. Because at Parc Spirou Provence, attractions are accessible according to the child's height. Le Nid des Marsupilamis (The Marsupilami's Nest) is a great attraction that appeals to everyone and makes a change from the ordinary! The Blorks Attack in the tiny Kid Paddle section is also a must.
There's plenty for the little ones too:
- Rantanplan and his spinning barrels,
- Marsu Palombia and his flowers that go up and down,
- Journey to Secret Palombia on the back of a flower..
These attractions are really fun, even for 7/8 year olds.
