Le Parc du Petit Prince Wait Times

Le Parc du Petit Prince · Europe · typical hours 10 AM–6 PM

The one-minute version: be at the gate 30–45 minutes before opening and ride Le Troublion first. Waits peak from late morning to mid-afternoon — do shows and meals then. The final hour is often as quiet as rope drop. There is no headline evening show, so the final operating hour is usually the quietest time to ride.

Not sold here: There is no line-skip product to buy here; the Prince Pass is only for visitors with a disability card.

What to ride first at Le Parc du Petit Prince: rope drop order

Be at the gate 30–45 minutes before opening and ride in this order. The tethered balloons only fly when the wind allows, so go up while they are running; Le Troublion, new in June 2026, carries just 16 riders at a time, and Pierre de Tonnerre, the spinning coaster, comes next.

  1. Le Troublion
  2. Pierre de Tonnerre

The first hour is the cheapest capacity of the day — no pass, no fee, and typically the shortest waits you will see.
