Christmas decorations and special features

The organiser lists the ride by name as part of the Santa Land Unlimited Ride Pass. It is one of the rides available to families looking for smaller themed attractions as well as the big high rides.

The Santa Land themed area is different from the park's major thrill areas. It is designed for parents and children to visit together. The smaller attractions therefore fit into the overall winter setting.

Flying Circus Balloons: The ride experience at Santa Land

Flying Circus Balloons combines the theme of a balloon ride with a family-friendly carousel experience. The colourful balloons alone evoke the idea of travelling in a small aircraft.

At the funfair, you can watch how it moves before taking a ride. This is especially helpful if younger children want to try a particular ride for the first time. Choosing a suitable seat can also be part of the experience for them.

Who is Flying Circus Balloons suitable for?

A ride together is especially appealing to children who like carousels with imaginative vehicles. Check the current signs, as whether you can ride depends on your height and whether you are accompanied.

The selection at Santa Land is aimed at younger visitors, but not every attraction is suitable for every age. The individual admission and safety rules at each ride therefore apply. You can discover more children's carousels in our attractions overview.
