Plopsaland De Panne overview
Plopsaland De Panne at a glance
A Belgian family park by the coast that also has grown-up coasters.
On the dunes at De Panne, Plopsaland grew out of the historic Meli Park into Studio 100's flagship. It is unapologetically family-first — Maya the Bee, Wickie and Bumba are everywhere — but The Ride to Happiness by Tomorrowland and Anubis The Ride give it thrill credibility rare in a park pitched this young.
Our editor's recommendation
Worth a day, but build it into a wider trip rather than flying in for it. It ranks #26 of the 50 parks we score, at 7.4/10 with 55 rides and attractions and a typical visit of about 6 hours. Tickets run $44–$62 a day. The strongest reasons to go are its family-friendly range and short queues. The honest catch: tickets are expensive for what you get. Best time to visit: Summer.
