Nestled in the breathtaking setting of the Ermenonville Forest near Chantilly and Senlis (60), this amusement park offers fun for both young and old.

As you'll have guessed, La Mer de Sable is one of the human-scale amusement parks designed for small children, like the Jardin d'Acclimatation. It's a great place to take your first steps, although there are also attractions designed for older children.

It's a far cry from a thrill park, which isn't the target market, but there are a few attractions that will appeal to teenagers. Among the attractions for teens (from 1.20 m), Disco Loco awaits you in the world of Mexican Fiesta. 24 adventurers sit in seats fixed to the circumference of the disc, facing outwards. The disc moves along a U-shaped track, turning on itself. This year, the park inaugurates Silver Mountain, a roller coaster.

After opening new roller coasters themed around Wild Buffalo, the Sea of Sand amusement park continues to immerse visitors in the Wild West vibe with fresh themed shows. Discover the Legends of the Sea of Sand, featuring four iconic characters who share their stories and perform jaw-dropping stunts.
