I am planning a trip to Germany at the end of Aug beginning of September. It will be myself and my 13 year old daughter. We plan on renting a car and just touring Germany seeing the sites (castles, etc.). But I wanted to do something fun for her, because when your 13 there is only so many museums and castles you can see before your bored with it. I heard of Europa Park and wanted to see if anyone had been there and if it is worth a day stopover.

I just asked my daughter and she said yes, Europa Park was fun, but for a 13 year old, Phantasia Land was better. She adores roller coasters, especially if they go upside down.
Another fun thing to do are the "Fun Forests". Here is a website for one in the Netherlands, but they have them all over Germany, Austria and I believe France too. http://www.funforest.nl/?lan=english
They are really a lot of fun. Sometimes they are listed online as "Seilgarten" or "Hochseilgarten". I know there is one in Wiesbaden, one in Darmstadt, and one in Offenbach (all near Frankfurt)

My son, 14 at the time, has been to Europa Park and he loved it. He liked it better than Disney. If you had to name a favorite amusement park,it would be Europa Park hands down.

We took our French nephews (ages 12 and 15) and they loved it. There were several rollercoasters and a log ride they thought were the best. We also enjoyed trying the food in the different "countries".
