La Mer de Sable is the family park par excellence. Located in the exceptional setting of the Ermenonville forest near Chantilly and Senlis (60), this amusement park has something for everyone. In recent years, the park has been renewing itself every season, to appeal to us even more. New attractions, new shows, new events - the 2023 season promises plenty of surprises, from the moment the park reopens on April 6, 2024!
Thanks to its 45-hectare sandy terrain, the Mer de Sable transports you to other times and places to experience incredible adventures in a new season. Explorers young and old will set out to conquer three astonishing worlds: the Arizona desert, the Mississippi Valley and the Colorado Canyon. When we say little ones, we mean children as young as 2 years old who can enjoy the shows and attractions. La Mer de Sable assures us that 60% of its attractions are accessible to children as young as 90cm, i.e. almost 20 of the 30 or so attractions on offer!
As you can see, La Mer de Sable, like the Jardin d'Acclimatation, is one of the most child-friendly amusement parks on a human scale. Here, we take our first steps, even if some attractions are also designed for older children.
It's a far cry from a thrill park - that's not the target audience - 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 outward-facing seats fixed to the circumference of the disc. The disc moves along a U-shaped track, turning on itself. This year, the park inaugurates Silver Mountain, a roller coaster.
For the park's 60th anniversary in 2023, new attractions await you and your family, including The Ranch, an attraction returning to the park, with its goats, chickens, rabbits and other farm animals in a natural area accessible by the Sables train. New scenery, new food and beverage outlets: like every year, Mer de Sable has taken advantage of the park's winter closure to give itself a makeover... From April 8, come and (re)discover this ultra-family-friendly park!
Several times a day, you can enjoy 3 20-minute shows, featuring stuntmen and horses in small shows, including L'Attaque du train and Le tournoi des 3 nations.
The not-to-be-missed horrific event for Halloween!
In short, don't hesitate to go to this park, ideal for little ones, where you won't have to queue for hours.
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
