Fun family day at Walibi Aquitaine Fun Park near Agen
Thursday, August 14th, 2008
For a great day out for all the family, Walibi Fun Park near Agen is a not to be missed experience.
With our 15% off vouchers it costs €18 for kids and €21 for adults. Which is not expensive compared to most UK activity parks.
It’s suitable for toddlers right up to grandparents like myself. It was very well attended yesterday but the longest we waited for any ride was 40 minutes. Whereas the average was about 20. Apart from the pony rides at €3, all attractions are free once your inside.
We started with the Coccinelle(Ladybird) ride. A mini roller coaster which gives just enough of a thrill that even small children can enjoy it. Be aware that many rides have height restrictions and the minimum height is either 92cm or 102cm. However there are still plenty for the very little ones to enjoy.
A lot of the rides are water based, White Water Rafting, Log Flume and Splash Battle. So it’s worth taking a spare set of clothes for the children.
Most people take a picnic lunch along and eat it in the separate picnic area, which is just outside the park. It’s worth doing this as the food is typical “fast food”, quite expensive and not that great. Most French people picnic and you can see them transporting huge picnic boxes for their typical three course lunch, with wine of course.
At the end of our day we went to the resident circus. A fantastic show of clowns, acrobats and trapeze artists. It lasted about 45 minutes and everyone from the youngest to the eldest thought it was a pure delight. I haven’t been to a circus for over 30 years, after yesterday I will certainly go again.
The park opens at 10.00 and closes at 19.00 during the school holidays.
We had a great day out, lots of fun, plenty of screams and we returned home at 19.00 very happy, wet and tired.
