The family park in Sankt Margarethen is Austria’s largest leisure and family park with around 145,000 m². Everyone with children knows this park in Eastern Austria. It was founded in 1968 as a family business with the name “Märchenwald”. The amusement park has had its current name since 2015. Filippo the tomcat is the park’s mascot.
There are around 80 attractions available in four themed areas:
- Adventure castle: themed world with attractions for younger visitors (e.g. balloon carousel, kite run, old-timer convoy)
- Fairy tale forest: oldest part of the park with stories and depictions of well-known fairy tales. Is only interesting for toddlers.
- Adventure island: themed world in Mediterranean style with roller coaster and larger rides (e.g. Leonardo’s flying machine, crocodile track, sea dragon, god lightning)
- Farm: petting zoo and attractions related to rural life (e.g. roller coaster rat mill, tractor ride, apple flight, forest animal races)
In addition to the 30 rides, the Familypark offers numerous other adventures, such as adventure and water playgrounds, climbing gardens, musical theater and hands-on games, where there is a lot to discover.
In general, the park is very beautiful and spacious. There are enough alternatives to avoid the hype.
There are also several changing stations and restaurants, but the food is not exactly nutrition-conscious or cheap. Mainly dishes such as “Leberkäse” or schnitzel rolls, hot dogs, french fries, pizza, pasta or ice cream are offered.
In any case, we recommend taking a few snacks and drinks with you. Microwaves are also available for baby food.
