Amusement Parks Roll Out the Fun –
From roller coasters to shows to Lego blocks to nature walks, there’s lots to do outside.
Europe’s amusement parks open earlier and will stay open later this year. It will be a banner year as some parks celebrate anniversaries, while other parks open new rides. That’s not all. More parks are providing hotels and other on-site accommodations to make a trip to an amusement park a several day affair. Some also provide two-day passes and season passes at very reasonable rates.
