Coronavirus (COVID-19) has created a range of challenges for theme parks in Europe including event cancellations and temporary closures.

Some theme parks in Europe remain open so please expect to see a number of initiatives aimed at maintaining a safe environment including enhanced cleaning regimes and increased availability of hand sanitisation products.

Please note, theme parks may cancel events or temporarily close with little warning. For this reason please check with individual hotels and attractions before making a trip.
