What the listings don't tell you
Your stay at the park
435 hectares of Vosges forest, and an Aqua Mundo with seven slides, one of them a Master Blaster, the system that propels the ring upwards instead of letting it run down. It is the largest water centre of our French parks, in the biggest estate in our selection. A Deep Nature Spa completes the facilities for adults.
The Incroyables cottages are the curiosity of the place: three decorated worlds, Animaux de la forêt, Aventure and Contes du royaume, which turn the accommodation itself into an attraction for children under ten. Alongside them, the standard Comfort, Exclusive, Premium and VIP ranges remain available for those left cold by themed decor. The park also has a private sauna, a children's club, a covered play area, a supermarket and bikes for hire, and accepts dogs.
Around it, Alsace begins. Strasbourg is 1 hour 16 minutes away, the Dabo rock with its chapel on top 54 minutes, the Haut-Barr castle 1 hour, the Lalique museum at Wingen-sur-Moder 1 hour 10 minutes. The Saint-Louis-Arzviller inclined plane, a boat lift that raises barges 44 metres, runs from April to October and is 44 minutes' drive away. None of these outings is close: count on one a day, not two. No public rating appears in our sources. The park suits week-long stays and families who want to spend a lot of time in the water. For a weekend from Belgium, 4 hours 45 minutes from Brussels, the drive weighs too heavily; from Metz (1 hour 46 minutes) or Strasbourg (1 hour 19 minutes), the calculation changes.

How fresh the data is
Every family of data shown on this page, with its source and the date it was recorded when we have one. When we do not, we say so.
- Displayed pricehoprat estimate
hoprat estimate for 3 nights and 4 people, calculated from our own data. It is not an operator rate, it does not depend on your dates, and nothing can be booked at that amount.
hoprat estimate - Public ratingNot verified
No public rating for this park can be attributed to a platform and a recording date, so this page shows none, and the Hoprat score is calculated without the “reviews” dimension.
Not verified - Park addressNot verified
Entered by hand from the operator's official website, because OpenStreetMap placed several parks in the wrong municipality. No verification date was recorded for this entry.
Not verified - Coordinates and driving timesRecorded and dated
Coordinates taken from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) and real routes calculated by OSRM on 22 September 2026. The “Friday evening” column is not a measurement: it is the normal time multiplied by 1.3.
Recorded and dated - Activities and restaurants nearbyRecorded and dated
7 activities and 1 restaurants: addresses and coordinates taken from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim), distances calculated by OSRM, on 22 September 2026. No restaurant rating is shown: we have none whose platform is known. The descriptions, the audiences and the seasons are written by us, with no recording date.
Recorded and dated - Park facilitiesNot verified
12 criteria recorded from the operator's pages. No verification date was recorded for these readings: they may have aged without our being able to say so. The number of units is not confirmed by a citable public source, so it is not shown.
Not verified - Online bookingNot verified
Availability not checked: we make no claim to know whether any units are still free.
Not verified
No date in this table is inferred: when a check has not been recorded, the row says “not verified” rather than showing today's date or the date the site went live.
Put it up against another
The parks the same trip could put up against it: similar driving time and estimated budget, so a real choice to make.
