A few kilometres north of Metz, at Maizières-lès-Metz, Walygator Parc is the area's big amusement park. Roller coasters, thrill rides, attractions for the youngest and themed worlds: it is a destination designed for a full day out with family or friends. An easy, playful getaway to combine with a stay in Metz.
An amusement park at the gates of Metz
Set at Maizières-lès-Metz, about fifteen kilometres from the city, the park stretches across a vast site and offers dozens of attractions grouped into themed worlds. You'll find thrill rides as well as areas for young children, family attractions and water rides for hot days. The events programme changes through the year.
A long history, several names
The park opened in 1989. Over the decades it changed identity several times — first known as Big Bang Schtroumpf, then Walibi, before becoming Walygator. This eventful history is part of the region's leisure heritage: many families in Lorraine came here as children and now return with their own.
