Loads of parking but hook-ups only in the first 1 or 2 rows and were all taken as it's first come first served.

It’s a massive Aire with loads of spaces but not many EHU. I hated the show, I was cold and I couldn’t follow what was going on. They sold me a blanket for €20 which was so thin you could see through it. This was in the middle of July and the day had been warm.

I loved the show, especially the birds of prey. Don't miss that one.
You can download their own app which I'd do well before going and study and plan your route, timing the shows you want to see. Use earphones with the app and it'll translate for you as everything is in French.:rolleyes:
You can't do anything about the weather. I went in June and it was just right, although the day before it would've been too hot for all the inevitable walking!
I only did 1 day as it was a spur of the moment visit. If I went again, (and I would), I'd do at least 2 days to see everything without rushing. You have to book the evening shows well in advance but I've heard of people getting in late. Plenty to see without the evening shows but I've heard they are brilliant.

It was the evening show we did, never again! Each to their own.

It was very busy not a case of trying to find an EHU more a case of trying to find a space that we could get in. We arrived early and found a space. The guy who was leaving told us to wind the awning out otherwise someone would squeeze in. Remember where you park it's a vast area.

Had a great stay, 2 days in the park. If you get a pitch with an Ehu, you buy the tokens at the machine you pay for your stay. As stated, vans will get in next to you so they can get the Ehu when you leave, otherwise we found plenty of room. There is a shuttle to the park but a quick walk. Only tip I can add is buy a cheap memory foam cushion to take with you, lots of sitting on hard surfaces. Would I go again, yes!

Take an umbrella for the sun or rain. Drink for hydration as some queues and shows can be in the open and very hot. Consider it as some re-enactment with fantasy; don't get too anxious about the historical accuracy.

We were there last August - hot and busy but not excessively busy. The aire was busy but plenty of space further back from the front two rows where there were EHUs.

Try and get some tickets for the evening shows - those on Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun(?) are very good for the spectacular effects.

Got a two day park and Two Cinescenie tickets last week (for June 21!). Oddly when I tried 1 day park and Cinescenie show "no availability" for the same night came up.they may be allocating a certain amount for each "package". Hope you have beter luck next time

Almost approaching average
Booked last week for two days including cinescenie. Was only a couple of days for it when I booked but loads the day after. I think they must drip release those. Dog booked in the kennels but lots of vaccinations evidence needed. Got the “queue bypass” tickets for day one to pack most in then gonna potter round the rest on day deux.
Just got to plan the other 14 days now.....

You might be able to buy tickets on the day. Search Puy du Fou on this site for a discussion about it last year.

The aire is a large field, multiple rows separated with roads, if you want a bit more space, park further from the entrance, but the ehu's are in the first rows.
