'''Parc Asterix''', [http://parcasterix.fr] the world class Asterix amusement park has got up to 14 millions visitors since its opening in 1989. Many attractions are designed after the famous Asterix comic strips by Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. In the park beautiful and green setting 35 km north of Paris, seven adventure areas, 27 attractions and 6 shows are waiting to thrill, excite and entertain you. The Asterix amusement park has plenty to offer young children such as many merry-go-rounds and a dolphin theater. It also has a very diverse set of attractions for adults: Tonnerre de Zeus - the biggest wooden roller-coaster in Europe, Goudurix - one of the most impressive loop-the-loops in Europe, and many others. The park is open from the 8th of April till the 15th of October. In order to get there you need to take RER ligne B3, get off at Charles de Gaulles airport terminal 1 and take the Parc Asterix shuttle (it leaves every 30 min). It is better to buy The Forfait Loisirs card that offers a reduced price combination: a transport ticket for the return journey by RER (+ metro from Paris) and the shuttle bus to the Park, and a coupon for admission to the Parc Asterix. On arrival at the ticket desks, you'll exchange your coupon for an admission ticket. It is also possible to buy the entrance tickets together with shuttle bus ticket at the CDG Terminal 1 at the "Information" stand. The best time for visit is in the morning, earlier than crowds, so that you could enjoy all the attractions without queue. Nevertheless you'll spend some time waiting for your turn especially to get to Tonnerre de Zeus and Goudurix (all the adults go firstly there and than to all the other attractions). In summer it's practically impossible to avoid the crowds and to visit all the attractions in one day (so much time you'll spend in the queques).
