Trimmed to earnings... no Swissness at all... The park has seen its best times long time ago. Everything is trimmed to get every buck out of your pocket. No heart, no joy. Frustrated and grumpy staff... not a single one of them is Swiss or speaks Swiss German, if German at all! A park that is advertising its swissness, this is not the case at all. 90% of the menues/meat comes from abroad. NOT local or even swiss meat... a simple task given its location amongst farmers all around! Save your money, go elsewhere. It was a big disappointment. Free the sea lions, they look sad and lost of all will to live!
Addon after reply from "owner": First of all: Thank you for actually reading the review and even replying.
My 9 year old daughter would give it a five but it's her first theme park and I have been to many so have some biases. I read some poor reviews and wasn't expecting the best but I was pleasantly surprised and best of all, I went for my daughter and she loved it. It's a smaller park, all doable within 4 hours and that's doubling up on rides. We went on a Monday during the school holidays in autumn and whilst the car park was some what full (and a bargain for CHF5 a day!) the park was quite empty and we only stood in line for a maximum of 5 minutes but most rides didn't have a queue. At a Chilbi you pay up to CHF10 per single ride so the entrance fee is cheap in my opinion for what you get. Yes, some rides are a bit dated and a little random but in the eyes of a child, it all hit home. Some high lights were the 56m space drop which we went on 3 times and there was no queue each time, the Cobra (going backwards first was actually less scary than riding frontwards at the very front of the ride) and actually the pirate ship was a hit with the tummy tickles! I also enjoyed trying to get the highest score at the Dino hunt ride, and thought 2879 was quite a high score!! Food wise, picnics are allowed and there are even some BBQs but the food on site is actually okay compared to other theme parks. Not a lot of variety but the usual cafeteria food as well as a pizza stall and hotdog stand. The giant candy floss was only CHF4 which I paid CHF6 at a...
Read moreThe park did not impress us. As adults we paid 39 CHF for ONE Ticket (CHF 78 total) which is absolutely overpriced for the size of and total attractions within Conny Land. Some things were even under construction / not accessible / unfinished, a more appropriate price would be 20 CHF.
The queue for the log-ride was endless while the ride barely lasted 3 minutes. Same with the vodoo river rafts. The lines are too long considering the mediocre experiences.
Some rides, like the crazy professor, the classic carpet slide or the dinosaur hunt were quickly accessible.
The best part was by far the sea lion show (which lasted barely 15 minutes) and the entertainers who animated the crowd - I do hope they get fairly paid considering the excessive entry fee (in comparsion: EP Rust is like 10 times as big but costs like 55/60 CHF - MUCH better price for value!).
Overall we were disappointed. Of course this park is mainly for kids so we are aware we weren't the target audience. There are some cute rides and the sea lions were amazing! I hope they get treated well...
We generously rate this a 3 out of 5 (mainly out of nostalgia).
Go if: you like to spend excess money you have kids who love sea lions and chill rides
Avoid if: you are adults and could enjoy many more fun rollercoasters at Europapark Rust for a much...
