FÅRUP SOMMERLAND

THE STORY ABOUT A DREAM

FÅRUP SOMMERLAND IS THE STORY ABOUT A DREAM

A dream, which was in its infancy in the summer of 1975, when we first opened the doors to the park with a brand new concept: "Pay kr. 4.00 and try everything". Scandinavia's first "Summerland" was founded, and its innovative blend of classic activities like rowboats, trampolines and horses was immediately a great success.

The Danes had a new place to go on their family excursions, and this basic idea we have brought with us. Our guests today, are coming for the same reason they did almost 40 years ago. They want a fun and eventful day with the family out in the woods!

Even though Fårup Summerland has since evolved into a modern amusement park with wildly spinning carousels, super fast roller coasters and Denmark's largest water park, we are sure that it is still the little moments our guests take home with them.

The moment when the whole Falken (The Falcon) sings along to "Skovsangen" (The forest song). The moment when a rude employee all of a sudden sprays water on baby sister. And the moment when baby brother gets the birthday song of his life from a screaming Fårup choir. Well, in short, those moments when the smile cannot at all become stiff again. We have been able to maintain this atmosphere, because every day we work to create life around rides like Lynet, Falken and Træstammerne, and an interaction between our guests and employees.

Facts

Fårup Summerland compromises a total of 110 hectares, of which the park itself with rides, pedestrian areas, dining areas and parking lot fills approx. a quarter. This amounts to nothing less than 55 soccer fields! The remaining area ensures good distance to neighbors, and make for a truly authentic feeling of a walk in the forest in between the tall, beautiful trees.

The largest one day attendance was Wednesday July 20 2011, when 17,287 guests visited Fårup Summerland.

The largest collected attendance for a whole season was achieved in 2012, when a total of 768,683  guests visited Fårup Summerland.

Even though our attendance is highly dependent on the weather, there are still a couple of rules of thumb you can use to plan your visit. During peak season for instance, we normally havefewer guests in the park onMonday, Friday and Sunday, and early and late season, theregular weekdays are the least visited. Always be aware of which days we are closed when you plan your visit.

The split between Danish and foreign visitors is respectively 80 and 20 percent. Norwegian, Swedish and German tourists make understandably up the largest part of these foreign guests.

About 89 percent of our guests spendmore than 5 hours in the park, and almost 98 percent of our guests are satisfied or very satisfied with their visit to Fårup Summerland - the whole stay considered.

In the summer time, we have about 600 dedicated employees in a wonderful mix of young students and healthy retirees and early retirees. All with a big smile!
