Advantages: Great alternative to Disney Disadvantages: You get VERY wet when it rains!!
...adults) decided to also visit Parc Asterix. On our final day we were flying back to England from CDG at 10pm - this was perfect for Parc Asterix as you can catch a bus from the airport straight to the park. It was about a 10 minute bus ride - we bought our tickets at the station as they did a combined bus and park entrance for 35E. Upon entering the park, the weather was glorious. It looked as if it would be another scorcher like the previous 3 days ... ...worth mentioning we went to Parc Asterix on a Saturday. I think this greatly affected the number of people in the park. It was very busy (even compared to Disney). Also, as it was an off peak time of year Parc Asterix is only open on a Wednsday, Saturday and Sunday (to coincide with French schools).
After getting in the park we headed towards La Descente du Styx. This is a water rapids style ride. The "boat" holds up to 8 people and you get pretty ...

Advantages: You can get there by public transport Disadvantages: The queues
...go to Versailles or the Parc Asterix, in the end we chose what we thought would be a day of fun. But first let me tell you:
**** How to get there:
You can go by car; it's about 30 km north of Paris (Autoroute A1). We don't have a car so we took the RER first (RER B) which takes you to Roissy Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1 and then a bus to the Parc Asterix. From central Paris (gare de Lyon) it took us about 30 mn to go to the airport and then about ... ...buy the tickets at the Parc you will pay for one day:
32 euros (adult) 23 euros (children between 3 and 11) free for children under 3
This ticket gives you access to all attractions and show for one day.
**** When is it open?
During summer (from the 14th of July to the 29th of August), the parc is open from 9.30am to 7.00pm otherwise it is open from 10.00am to 6.00pm.
**** The rides:
There are lots of attractions but when we went the queues ...

Advantages: more adult rides than Disneyland Disadvantages: less easily accessible than Disneyland, decor less enchanting
I went to the Parc Asterix about 2 years ago, about a year after going to DysneyLand Paris so I can compare the two pretty easily. Parc Asterix is located about 30 min by car from Paris and is based on a very famous series of comic books about Asterix and his small village resisting the roman invasion. It's a comic book written for teenagers and adults more than for young kids so the theme is already more mature than disneyland Paris. Unlike Disneyland ... ...Another great thing about Parc Asterix are the water shows with dolphins, orcs, seals... It's a good way to sit down and take a break but you need to get there early before the show starts if you wanna to have good seats. Finally, tickets are cheaper than for Disneyland, at least it was the case when I went. There are a few drawbacks compared to Disneyland: it's less easily accessible and the whole experience is definitely less "enchanting" (decor, ...

Review of Parc Asterix, Paris
Advantages: More fun than Disneyland.... Disadvantages: Be prepared to travel...
...been to both Disneyland and Parc Asterix..I felt compelled to write!
I figured I should guide people to this little known 'thrill seeker haven' before they spend too much money on a mouse with less charm than a verruca!
Parc Asterix is located on the road to Lille...(if I remember this rightly- you must forgive was 3 years ago and if anyone wishes to correct me feel free!) and admittedly you need to travel to Charles de Gaulle airport to catch ... ...I don't remember how much Parc Asterix is....it was also in the days of Francs when I went(but hey I am the first person to review this one so gimme a bit of a break! :))) I know for sure it was cheaper than Disneyland and that you can get packages from the tourist office which include the coach and day pass...and back then it was definitely under £30. (we were always skint!)
Right...now to the FUN STUFF!!! The rides....I LOVE rollercoasters...so ...
