Parc Spirou Tickets: Prices, Season Dates & Smart Booking Tips

Inside Parc Spirou: what you’re paying for

Parc Spirou Provence sits on the edge of Monteux in the Vaucluse, 15 minutes from Avignon, and is built around Franco-Belgian comic-strip heroes. Spirou and Fantasio share the park with Lucky Luke, the Marsupilami, the Smurfs, Kid Paddle and — the newest arrival — Naruto. Around thirty attractions are spread across six themed worlds.

Your Parc Spirou tickets include every ride and show. The worlds and their highlights:

• NARUTO – Konoha Land — home of Kyûbi Unchained, the park’s biggest coaster: more than a kilometre of track, a top speed of 75 km/h, a 30-metre peak and a backward plunge. Next to it, Rasengan Chakra Rotation spins 32 riders on four rotating arms, and The Chûnin Exam Grounds is a family challenge area.
• The Spirou Journal — Spirou Racing reaches up to 70 km/h through tight turns, and Watch out for Gaston takes you through the comic’s newspaper office cluttered with Gaston’s inventions.
• Lucky Town — the Wild West world, with the Lucky River log flume (expect to get soaked) and Wanted Dalton, a chase through the prison the Daltons have escaped.
• Marsu Jungle — Marsu Adventures is a 6D giant-screen ride that may splash your T-shirt.
• Kid Paddle Zone — Crash Blork flips you through aerial stunts and needs 1.40 m to ride alone.
• Smurfs Village — mushroom houses and the Smurfs’ own attraction, The Smurfs and the Magic Grimoire.

For the nerve-testers there is also the Zombillénium Tower freefall. Height limits across the park start at 0.85 m, and many rides allow smaller children with an adult — check each ride’s solo and accompanied limits on the park map.

Parc Spirou suits families with children from about 3 to 12 best. Teenagers get a solid half-day from Kyûbi Unchained, Crash Blork, Spirou Racing and the drop tower, but it is not a record-chasing coaster park. It was rated 4.5/5 from 592 reviews on Tiqets at the time of checking.

Timing is everything

Parc Spirou is seasonal. The 2026 season runs from 4 April to 11 November, with the park usually open 10:00–18:00 or until 19:00 depending on crowds. During the Halloween period the remaining open days are:

• 27 October–1 November: open daily, with late openings until 21:00 on 30 and 31 October.
• 7, 8 and 11 November: the final days of the season.
• From 12 November: closed for winter.

Recent seasons have opened in early April, so expect a similar start next spring, but wait for the official calendar before booking travel.

Crowd patterns follow French school holidays: the spring and autumn holidays and July–August are busiest, while term-time weekdays in May, June and September are the calmest. Provence summers are hot — arrive at opening, ride the big coasters first, and use the Lucky River and shaded areas in the afternoon heat.

The insider entry

The park’s own system is the Lucky Pass, sold at the park, which gives priority access on selected rides:

• Lucky Pass (unlimited) — €55, for one person, unlimited priority on 15 attractions.
• Lucky Cowboy — €24, six priority rides across the same 15 attractions, shareable between adults and children.
• Jolly Lucky — €18, six priority rides across 12 attractions, shareable.
• Kid Lucky Pass — €13, six priority rides across seven family attractions, shareable.

The shareable versions are the smart buy for families: split six fast rides across the queues that matter to you. Wave Village guests get 10% off Lucky Passes on presentation of their booking.

Download the free official app before you go: it shows live wait times, an interactive map that filters rides by height, and lets you order food to skip the restaurant queues.

Insider tip: Use the app’s height filter the night before. Measure your children at home, filter the map, and plan a route that avoids walking a small child to a ride they can’t board — at a park built around under-12s, that saves more time than any queue trick.

How to save on tickets

• Buy online in advance. You avoid the cash-desk queue, and partner tickets undercut the €41 gate price — on Tiqets, the early-bird fast-track ticket started at €39 at the time of checking.
• Remember height, not just age. Children under 1 m enter free; under-11s pay €36 at the gate.
• Arrive by regional train. Show a same-day ZOU! regional train ticket to Monteux or Avignon and pay €37 per adult and €32 per child instead of €41 and €36.
• Ask about reduced rates. Seniors (60+), students, large families, visitors with disabilities and teachers get reduced rates from €34 at the park ticket office with proof; they cannot be bought online.
• Get a season pass for repeat visits. The Season Pass costs €99 flat for anyone 1 m or taller and pays for itself on the third visit; the Gold Pass costs €185.
• Bundle the stay. Wave Village packages from €237 include accommodation, park tickets, breakfasts and parking, which is otherwise paid.

Getting there without the hassle

Parc Spirou is at 1 Rue Jean-Henri Fabre, 84170 Monteux.

• By car: about 10 minutes from Carpentras, 15 minutes from Avignon, 50 minutes from Nîmes and Aix-en-Provence and an hour from Marseille. Parking is in four paid municipal car parks; the main one has solar-panel canopies that keep cars shaded.
• By motorhome: use car park P4 opposite the park, which has no height barrier; overnight parking is tolerated, but there are no services.
• By train: TGV and Ouigo services from Paris reach Avignon TGV; from there, or from Avignon Centre, regional ZOU! trains towards Carpentras stop at Monteux station.
• By bus: ZOU! line 905 between Avignon and Carpentras stops at Soleil, a 7-minute walk from the entrance; the local Mont’en bus also serves the same stop.
• By bike: there is a bike park at the entrance, and lockers for helmets and bags.

Animals are not allowed in the park, except guide dogs.

Make it a trip

• Wave Island, the water park next door, can be combined through Wave Village stays when both are open.
• Avignon is 15 minutes away — the Palais des Papes and the old town make an easy half-day either side of the park.
• Comic fans touring France can compare it with Parc Astérix north of Paris, the country’s other big park built on a Franco-Belgian comic.
• Heading north, Walibi Rhône-Alpes between Lyon and Chambéry, around three hours’ drive away, adds a bigger thrill park to a road trip.
