Just a stone’s throw away from Germany’s largest theme park lies a world where crackling campfires and the smell of barbecues fill the air at Silver Lake City.
Whether in a tipi tent, a covered wagon or a Western House – every night is a little adventure in Silver Lake City. There are a total of 25 tipi tents sleeping four, six or twelve people, where you can immerse yourself in the world of the Wild West.
Authentic covered wagons sleeping four offer a wildly romantic temporary home. Six rustic log cabins with a total of 26 rooms provide spacious accommodation for four, six, twelve or up to sixteen people, while the honeymoon suite is the perfect setting for romantic moments in a Western-themed ambience.
To complete the range of accommodation, there are 36 authentic Western Houses with their own bathrooms. Sleeping up to six people, the rustic façades and charming details bring the authentic charm of the 19th century to life.
The culinary centrepiece of the Western town is the atmospheric Diner Station, designed to resemble a historic railway station. Authentic train carriages with seating inside give the buffet restaurant its distinctive character. Guests can enjoy a hearty breakfast buffet in the morning to start the day off right. And in the evening, the varied dinner buffet serves up hearty classics, American cuisine, fresh salads, succulent meat dishes, and sweet desserts. The indoor area can seat a total of 275 guests, while spacious outdoor terraces with around 200 seats are perfect for relaxing in the open air.
Guests can end the day in a relaxed atmosphere at the Wild Horse Bar, with its rustic saloon ambience. With seating for 120, it serves freshly tapped beer, creative cocktails and selected spirits. And for those looking for that authentic campfire feeling, the fire pits in the Western town are sure to provide an atmospheric meeting place.
The area also comes with Gold Rush Golf, a mini golf course with a charming desert theme and twelve holes, perfect for gold prospectors of all ages. Set amid cacti and Western scenery, each round is a real family adventure. Younger visitors will be delighted by the extraordinary locomotive-shaped adventure playground, while the bull riding experience offers a real taste of the rodeo. Walking acts, artists and musicians round off the diverse entertainment programme.
From June 2026 Silver Lake City is getting an expansion where The Riverside Western Lodge will add 119 rooms and 532 beds to the accommodation options, offering additional comfort in a Wild West style.
A new shopping area, Grandpa Will’s Hot Dogs, and Cold Rush Western Ice Creams perfectly round off the experience. A new location for YULLBE GO will also bring state-of-the-art virtual reality technology to Silver Lake City, expanding the range of leisure activities on offer with interactive experiences.
In July 2026, the Europa-Park Children’s House Little Heroes will open. This is a special project close to our hearts which is being organised in cooperation with the RTL – Wir helfen Kindern e.V. (RTL – We help children) foundation, the Deutsche Kinderkrebsstiftung (German Children’s Cancer Foundation) in Bonn, and the non-profit association Stelzenmännchen in Karlsruhe.
Five spacious apartments will enable families with children who have survived cancer to enjoy a free holiday in a Western-themed setting. From the many attractions and offerings at Europa-Park itself to the Rulantica water world and excursions to the Taubergießen nature reserve, or a visit to the Europa-Park TALENT ACADEMY or YULLBE, the region offers countless ways to rediscover life’s joys. Miriam Mack is the ambassador for this project, while Swiss musician DJ BoBo is the patron. Retired Europa-Park employees will look after the families on a voluntary basis.
Also opening in 2026, Silver Lake Brewery is set to add to the character of the Western town by producing around 30,000 litres of beer each year. Visitors will be able to experience the art of craft brewing first-hand in a tasting room with a view of the brewery.
