Two-day ticket prices

Two-day ticketJan to Mar, Nov to DecApr to May, OctJun to Sep
Adult€15€39€60
Student€9€20€40
Child, 7 to 18 years€7€10€20

The two-day ticket is valid on 2 consecutive days and needs the visitor's name. Compared with a day ticket, the second day adds €5 in winter, €16 in spring and October, and €20 in summer for an adult. For most visitors, a day ticket is enough for one program. Choose the two-day ticket if you want to combine two programs, for example the Lower Lakes on one day and the Upper Lakes on the other.

How the time slot works

You choose a date and a time slot when you book. The ticket is tied to that slot.

  • Activate at your entrance: activate the ticket at the entrance you chose during booking, either entrance 1 or entrance 2.
  • Not earlier: you cannot enter before your slot begins.
  • Up to 1 hour late: you can arrive up to 1 hour after the slot starts.
  • Autumn ticket desks: in the current autumn schedule the desks stop selling at 15:00. Check the opening hours for the season of your visit.

Ticket machines at both entrances sell tickets for the same day or the next day. They are a backup, not a reason to skip booking in high season. The entrance you pick also decides your program, so read Entrance 1 or 2 before you choose.
