About

At Slagharen, the Netherlands’ oldest theme park, adventure and excitement await guests of all ages. Located in the charming town of Slagharen, the park opened in 1963 and has grown from a simple pony park to an expansive resort featuring over 30 attractions. Visitors can explore five themed worlds—from the zany Wild West to the vibrant Mexican fiesta, the thrilling water park “Aqua Mexicana,” the frontier‑style Indian area, and the jungle adventure of Jules Verne. The park’s flagship rides include the high‑speed Gold Rush roller coaster, the double‑track Wild West Adventure, and the family‑friendly Ripsaw Falls water slide. With a mix of roller coasters, water attractions, and live entertainment, Slagharen promises an unforgettable family day out. The park operates year‑round with a seasonal cycle: the “Wild West” and “Florida” themes change with the seasons while the water park is open during the summer months. During the winter, special events such as holiday décor and seasonal shows turn the park into a whimsical wonderland. Guests can purchase tickets online in advance and enjoy the convenience of pre‑paid parking and on‑site dining options. Accessibility is well‑considered: the park is fully wheelchair accessible, with ramps, accessible restrooms, and boarding assistance for attractions. For a hassle‑free visit, tickets can be purchased in advance online, and families can take advantage of family or subscription packages to save on daily and annual passes.
