Amusement parks make holidays unforgettable for children and grown-ups alike. Let’s find out next which are the most beautiful such parks in Romania. And we start our adventure in the center of the country, in Brasov county, where we invite you to discover the first park in Romania that included tree climbing among the activities taking place in the forest. That happened in 2006, one year after Cristina and Olivier Rebierea set up the Romanian-French company which, now, at the end of the year, is inviting you to take part in an active holiday.



Liliana Nimat is the administrator of the “Parc Aventura Brasov”: “Our offer is about sports and recreational activities in the open. This is a very pleasant way of spending one’s spare time with one’s family, friends and work colleagues. Our park covers 2.5 hectares, has 14 routes with progressive difficulty and includes suspension bridges and zip lines. Even during winter we have many tourists, especially from Israel. One condition when hiring our personnel is the knowledge of a foreign language: English, French or German.”



A mini zoo, a multi-sports ground, a climbing wall, a mini golf course, air castles, petanque- a specific French game known to Romanians from the film “Le gendarme de Saint Tropez” – these are some of the attractions in this amusement park. But the most interesting attractions are the routes.



Liliana Nimat: “The most adventurous route is the black one. It requires energy, force and technique. It’s a route for people older than 16. Each route is full of surprises and everyone can choose the route that best suits them. For instance there are people who spend a lot of time at work and need to do some sport. So they will choose a yellow or a green route, as they are easier, suitable for people without physical training. According to European norms, routes are marked by colors depending on their difficulty.”



Cezar Cotescu has combined his taste for adventure with his career as an architect as well as with the years he spent in Asia, and the result was the holiday village called “The Jderi Brothers- the Green Utopia”.



He takes refuge here quite frequently, saying that the holiday village is his second home, if not the first. At the end of the year people are enticed with many all- inclusive offers. After 14 years of investment, Cezar Cotescu makes the following “exotic” offer, far from the madding crowd, to a place in the Lotru Mountains, in the north of the Valcea county, in the middle of forests, surrounded by waters and wooded mountainsides.



“We have managed to recreate nature on a 2-hectare surface, because we love nature. We have planted more than 5 thousand trees and shrubs. We have created a small paradise where we built our small constructions. I offer you all an exotic holiday, where you can find life in its pure form at a high altitude. We have complex programs of 3 up to 7 days. For instance, for 100 euros per day you can benefit from a complex package that includes accommodation with full board and activities such as climbing, trekking, rafting and visits to nature reserves.”



Another attractive amusement park in Romania is the Balu Park, in Harghita spa and resort. Kristaly Peter is one of the park’s administrators: “Balu Park is the largest adventure park in Romania. We have a 1,000-meter long zip line, over a lake. The park offers opportunities for practicing 150 games. We have a skating rink and snow tubing facilities, which resemble the attractions in Aqua Parks. Our ski slopes are 7,300 m long. We also have 4 ski lifts. Tourists come to this park both in summer and winter”.



Another attraction of Romania is the Aqua Park in Arad, in the west, which was built from European funds and opened this year. The park covers 12,500 square meters.



Brancsik Zsolt is the deputy manager of the Arad Aqua Park: “The park is open all year long and has two compounds: indoors and outdoors. The indoor compound has three swimming pools, seven saunas, a restaurant, a gym and a medical center.”



The amusement and adventure parks in Romania offer lots of opportunities for spending the winter holidays here. So, don’t wait any longer, pick one and come to Romania!
