E) Payments

  • At certain of the Park's points of sale, such as ticket offices, restaurants and shops, cash payment is restricted and there are one or more tills where payment can only be made by bank card or mobile devices. Those points of sale will be equipped with information panels accordingly. The park strives to equip every point of sale with at least one cash payment option. This does not withstand that payment in cash may be rejected for operational or safety reasons. If you pay in cash at the Park’s ticket office, this does not in itself entitle you to pay in cash in each of the Park’s points of sale. If you have any doubts, please ask the staff of the establishment, they will be happy to help you.
