The park offers "Parc Astérix weekend" packages at the "Les Trois Hiboux" hotel to extend the adventure. Fast passes (from 20 to 75 euros depending on the option) grant priority access to several attractions, helping you avoid long lines. Another major theme park in the Paris region, Disneyland Paris is reached by RER A; for more ideas for days out with children, see our Paris with kids guide.
