Timeline

  1. 11:00

    Vialand

    Enter Vialand. The park opens at 11:00 daily. Arriving at opening time ensures you get the quietest experience and first pick of the rollercoasters before the midday rush.

  2. 13:00

    Vialand Kitchen

    Head to Vialand Kitchen for lunch. Located just a 3-minute walk from the park entrance (SSE direction), it is a convenient spot to rest and refuel without leaving the immediate area.

  3. 13:30

    King Kong

    Take a short 5-minute walk southwest to see the King Kong public art. It is a quick, distinctive stop that breaks up the afternoon without requiring you to travel far from the main park zone.

Local tip

The park’s hours extend to 21:00 in summer, but for a daytime plan, the 11:00 opening is your best bet for space and comfort. Vialand Kitchen and the King Kong statue are both within a short walk of the main entrance, keeping your day contained and easy.
