Parc du Petit Prince, located in the Alsace region of France, is a theme park inspired by the beloved book The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Designed primarily for children up to 11 years old, the park offers a relaxed atmosphere with family-friendly rides and attractions. It is one of the most visited theme parks in the region, drawing visitors who enjoy its whimsical setting and gentle pace.
Nestled in the village of Ungersheim, the park is accessible via shuttle buses from the nearby train station in Bollwiller, though visitors without a car may find it challenging to reach without prior planning. The return shuttle fare for a family of three is approximately €5. Tickets can be purchased for as low as €20 for adults and €16 for children if booked in advance, making it an affordable option for families.
The park features 36 attractions divided into three main themes: aviation and astronomy, travel, and animals. Highlights include the log flume ride called Aeropostale, the asteroid-themed ride Pierre de Tonnerre, and the Aerobar du Buveur, a unique bar-themed attraction. The park also includes a mini-farm where visitors can interact with animals like goats, sheep, rabbits, and birds. Indoor rides and shows are available, with performances primarily in French or German, though some, like the interactive show Interstice, include English subtitles. The park is gradually expanding its English content to attract more international visitors.
Food options range from standard fast food for children to more substantial meals for adults, with picnic areas and lockers available at the entrance. Some attractions and animal feed purchases require cash. Among the popular attractions is La Tanière du Renard (The Fox's Den), inspired by the Fox character from the book, which was especially well-received by younger guests. The park also offers a meet-and-greet session for fans and a small splash park that requires swimming attire.
Visitors can reach the park by train from Mulhouse, with nearby accommodations including Airbnb listings and the Hôtel Les Loges. For those traveling from the UK, flights to Basel—approximately a 30-minute drive from the park—are also available, making the park accessible to international tourists.
