We visited here on our way to Brittany. What a find! A great day out despite the boiling heat. The rides were ideal for an 8 year old. Food was ok, usual theme park expense. We were annoyed that the small water park shut at 6 as it did not say anywhere that it would close at this time.

We spent the day there with our 6 and 9 years old.
There is something to do for everyone and this is truly a great attraction parc!
We also loved the circus show.
I would say this is a very good value to spend the day there, as you got to go to all rides, see the show and even go to the small water parc (= don't forget to take trunks as shorts are not accepted! and armbands if necessary).
Great family day.
Kids menu are fine with different choices (a pity that the burger and the hotdog places are not next to each other though, but not an issue either).
And coffee is quite good :)

We had a fantastic day out at Papea Park with our three children aged 8, 6 and 1. The older two were able to go on lots of rides, often unaccompanied. The park is small, but well laid out and not too crowded.

We will visit again.

We needed something to do in Le Mans over a weekend with our 3 year old and thought we would give this a go and to my surprise we had a really good time. The Park isn't so big that you spend ages walking around but there are a really good selection of rides. When we went it wasn't so busy so there were no queues so my daughter could just keep going on the rides. She even braved some of the bigger rollercoasters and just had a ton of fun.

A couple of points to watch out for. Although the park opens at 10:30 the rides don't open until 11, my daughter had a bit of a tantrum as she wanted to go on them straight away. Also be careful as each ride closes for 30 mins during the day, we had another tantrum as she wanted to go on one ride just as it closed and the mean lady on the ride wouldn't let her go on.

Also take a picnic - the prices of food are monumental. 33 Euros for 3 hotdogs, fries and drinks.

But all in all a good time.

It’s a lovely park.

All the rides and shows are included in the entrance price.

Very clean, nice staff and well laid out.

The loos were clean when the park opened and at the end of the day.

No over flowing bins or litter on the ground.

You can see parts of the old park, a nice piece of history.

There is a good choice of places to eat and sit. They sell pizza and other various meat/non-meat dishes.
Nice desserts - crepes, Ice cream etc.
The food was not over priced for an attraction.
Many people bought their own food, there are many places to have a picnic.

There are a good selection of ride which are nicely spaced out. I would say that there is something for everyone.
There are some lovely rides for younger children, slightly faster rides for older kids and some crazy rides for those who like to be spun from a great height.

The magic show was amazing. It’s around 30 mins long. Really good family entertainment. (And you will understand it whatever language you speak).

You can easily spend the whole day here.

Safety was a key feature.

The only slightly negative thing for me, and this is a personal opinion - there were a few smokers. Which is fine, it’s a life style choice, but not when they are stood in a queue near me to get on a ride. They were only a few. I just don’t like either myself or my children breathing it in.

I would definitely go back.

A diverse group aged from 2 to 59, including 3 pre-teens, all found something they enjoyed. The weather was good so the water rides were well liked - beware of the screen which reroutes the water over you !

The only disappointment was the food but you can complete the Park in a couple of hours, even in the school holidays. So you can do everything and still eat in Le Mans either before or after.

This park was absolutely perfect for a day out with our 4-year-old. He was able to go on everything he wanted to. We got there at opening, and despite being the summer hols, we queued for nothing for the first few hours.

The bathroom facilities were plentiful and very clean. The food was a little on the expensive side, but normal for a theme park.

A special shout out for the circus. Our little boy loved it! The performers we really brilliant. Only thing that could have made it better was shade while queuing for the performance.

All in all, an amazing little park. And such good value compared to anything we have here in the UK.

Nice theme park, not too crowded despite summer hols, few queues, easy layout, lots for little ones.
One request: taps for filling water bottles. Selling water in plastic bottles is sooo passe!

Found the park by accident, when we stayed in le Mans waiting for our car to be fixed. And what a Nice suprice. The park is super well maintained and there is a lot of fun for smaller children. Most rides Are from 90 cm. We had a great Day With a lot of fun. It is not super big, but With small children the size and the number of activities is perfect. We Will Come back.

A small park but a lot of activities for younger children, teenagers and adults !
A good restaurant near the park. It's better when it's sunny.
