What it's like here
Familypark in St. Margarethen is Austria's largest amusement and family park, sprawling across wooded grounds in the heart of the Ruster Hügelland nature area. Walking through its pathways, you move between four distinct themed worlds — Erlebnisburg (Adventure Castle), Bauernhof (Farm), Märchenwald (Fairytale Forest), and Abenteuerinsel (Adventure Island) — each designed to surprise and delight visitors of all ages. The park's mascot, Kater Filippo, guides you through this landscape of over 80 attractions, from thrilling roller coasters to gentler carousels, water rides, climbing facilities, and interactive play areas woven into the natural setting.
The atmosphere is one of wide-open adventure. Paths wind through the idyllic parkland, designed with families in mind — prams and wheelchairs navigate freely through the entire park, and the layout feels spacious rather than cramped. Whether you're seeking an adrenaline rush on a roller coaster or watching younger children explore a playground, the themed zones ensure something engages every visitor. Water attractions cool you down on warm days, while the woodland setting keeps the experience grounded in nature rather than feeling purely artificial.
With 19 catering establishments scattered throughout, you can easily refuel without leaving the park. There's a café, picnic areas, and food available at multiple points, so a full day here doesn't require advance planning around meals. Photography is welcome, so you can capture moments as you move through the different worlds. Baby changing facilities and toilets are available, making it genuinely practical for families with small children.
The park draws around 700,000 visitors annually and is positioned near the UNESCO World Heritage region of Neusiedler See, adding an extra dimension to a visit — the lake itself becomes an option for exploring before or after your day at the park. Free parking is available on site, and the location is accessible by car from Vienna.
