Parc Astérix, one of France's most beloved amusement parks, is gearing up for its 2025 season with exciting news. Starting from April 7 and running through May 7, 2025, the park will offer free admission to children aged 3 to 11, promising families a cost-effective way to enjoy its thrilling rides and attractions.
The park, famous for its attractions based on the adventures of Asterix and Obelix, will open its gates for this season on April 5, 2025. This promotion is part of the park's attempt to attract more families during the busy spring holiday period, and it brings back fond memories for many who have cherished visits to this Gaul-themed destination.
To take advantage of this fantastic offer, parents must purchase at least one adult ticket (valid for individuals aged 12 and over), as the free child admission is only applicable with the purchase of the adult ticket. The promotion allows parents to secure admission for their children during weekdays only—Monday through Friday. Notably excluded from this offer are the days of April 21, May 1, and May 2, 2025.
"Children carrying free tickets must present themselves at the park's turnstiles accompanied by an adult," the management of Parc Astérix emphasized, underscoring the importance of parental presence to verify tickets and admissions. The park also urges families to reserve their tickets online, as no purchases will be available at the park entrance.
Reservations can be made directly on the official Parc Astérix website, ensuring families get their spot for this limited-time opportunity. Parents should also be prepared to present proof of age, such as identity cards or passports, confirming their child's age to benefit from this thoughtful promotion.
This initiative is not entirely new for the park. Parc Astérix has previously provided complimentary tickets to certain demographics, creating excitement and broadening its reach. Last summer, the park had offered free admission to Roman individuals and their families, extending the goodwill felt during these unique promotions.
On the entertainment front, Parc Astérix is also debuting new attractions this season, asserting its place among France's top amusement parks. One of the highlights is the introduction of Cétautomatix, the park's ninth roller coaster since its opening back in 1989. This spinning coaster aims to deliver family-friendly thrills, and with the park's continued innovation, it is set to join the ranks of other beloved attractions such as Tonnerre 2 Zeus and the famously refreshing Grand Splatch.
“The park continues to innovate every year, and this year promises a new family coaster called Cétautomatix,” noted officials, hinting at even more exciting experiences awaiting visitors. This news generates buzz among potential visitors, eager to test the new thrills alongside their families.
With the upcoming promotional period coinciding with the school spring breaks, it promises to be the perfect time for families to visit. Not only does this offer make it easier for families to enjoy the park, but it also enhances the visitor experience by allowing children to explore the world of Asterix without the additional financial burden of ticket prices.
Parents hoping to join the fun should book their admissions as soon as possible as spots for popular dates are likely to fill quickly, particularly since the offer is limited to weekdays only and has specific restrictions. The anticipation of spending quality time with loved ones at Parc Astérix during the stunning spring season adds to the excitement surrounding the park’s free admission promotion.
Overall, Parc Astérix's initiative reflects its commitment to creating memorable experiences for families visiting the park and enriching the cultural heritage represented by Asterix and Obelix. Whether it's the thrilling rides, the enchanting themed areas, or the family-friendly atmosphere, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
So, prepare for adventure and laughter as you head to Parc Astérix this spring, and don’t forget to make those reservations early to make the most of this fantastic free child admission offer!
