Le Parc du Petit Prince

Every morning just before opening and several times during the day, our pilots carry out a test flight to check if balloon flight is possible. Using measuring instruments, they determine the color of the day: Green: ideal, no wind at altitude, it's time to gain height! Orange: balloon flight is possible, but it can stop at any time if the weather changes, so let's take advantage of it right away! Red: it will not be for today! They take into account the wind at altitude, storm cells 50km away, the presence of cumulonimbus… Our pilots have practical and technical training, and even a license to be able to fly. It's a real job! Do you come mainly for the balloon flight? Check our website from 10 am, we can tell you if the flight is provided.

Maybe! It is impossible to predict in advance the meteorological conditions specific to the flight of the captive balloon. We will only be able to tell you in the morning even if the balloon flies for the day.

Our Park is located at the foot of the Vosges. It’s very pretty, but very windy at altitude! Even when you don't feel it on solid ground, it is sometimes enough to rise a few tens of meters to be tossed around! Similarly, in case of strong heat, especially in the afternoon, we are not immune to sneaky gusts of wind which seriously compromise the flight in a balloon. Several times a day, our pilots carry out a test flight to check if the conditions have changed. They want to fly as much as you do, but safety first!

If the balloon has to stay on the ground due to bad weather, we offer you a virtual reality flight to discover the Park from the sky! This animation takes place in the very basket of the balloon

First of all, check the validity date on your ticket. If your ticket has expired, here are the different scenarios:

Your 2022 tickets (excluding free invitations or contests) can be extended throughout the 2023 season for an additional €5/person. All you have to do is present your ticket at the cash desk on the desired day of your visit and pay the difference.

If your group ticket dates from 2022 or 2023 but has expired, you can extend it for an additional €5/person directly at the Park ticket office.

Tickets prior to 2022 cannot be extended.

SMART tickets cannot be returned or exchanged. If you wish to change the date, you will have to pay an additional €5 directly at the Park cash desk

Our park is mainly for all children, but also for all those who have been one day and who have kept their child's soul. Most of our young visitors are between 2 and 12 years old, but there is no age limit for appreciating the poetry of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's work.

Whether you are very small or giant, there is something for everyone at the Parc du Petit Prince! However, there are some regulations that define a minimum size on certain attractions. Our sensational attractions (The drinker's aerobar, night flight, underwater planet, the Serpent) are accessible from 1m (South Atlantic and Pierre de Tonnerre 95cm) for accompanied children. Have you looked at the plan yet? You will find all the details there! Safety first! Our playgrounds are sometimes subject to an age limit: the zip line, part of the citadel and the large swing will delight children from 6 years old. But what is valid for the little ones is also valid for the older ones! Our inflatable structure is only reserved for children under 1m20. Children are the responsibility of their parents.

It's never too early to discover the magical world of the Little Prince! Thanks to its free entrance, your child will have the pleasure of traveling from planet to planet while discovering attractions and activities adapted to their age and will even have the chance to board our star attraction: the balloon! We particularly recommend the following attractions: Interstice, the Little Prince and the Stork (at the Petit Théâtre), Tame me, the Little Train, the animal shows, the aerousel, the Little Prince 3D, the Volcano, the Boa , the Citadel, Saute-Mouton, Dew of the Desert, Draw Me a Sheep, Metamorphosis, the Labyrinth…

Under certain conditions, our attractions are available to people with reduced mobility, in particular our flagship attraction: the balloons! If you take a look at our map, you will be able to see the accessibility details. We have set up the Pass Prince. This is a Pass in the form of a bracelet reserved for people with disabilities which allows the beneficiary and 3 accompanying persons to have a fast-track entry to the attractions. This Pass is issued at the ticket office on the day of arrival upon presentation of a disability card. The attractions that work with the Pass Prince are indicated on a small document that will be provided to you at the ticket office. In some cases the specific queue is indicated by a small Pass Prince panel, in other cases you just have to report to the operator to get priority access.

If it is possible for you to board our attractions while respecting our safety conditions (include the harness or the handrail for example), then you will be able to take full advantage of all of our attractions! Only the Trampolin Park is subject to a maximum weight limit, set at 120kg.

People wearing a cast are not accepted on board our thrill rides.

Minors under 16 cannot enter the Park without the presence of an adult for safety reasons.

All thrill rides are strongly discouraged during your pregnancy.
