Cobac Parc

Nestled in a verdant setting in Ille-et-Vilaine, Cobac Parc has established itself over the years as a must-visit leisure destination in Brittany. This park, which has evolved to offer a diverse range of activities, attracts families and visitors each season in search of relaxation, adventure and shared moments. Far from gigantic complexes, Cobac Parc cultivates a friendly and human-scale atmosphere, offering a balance between attractions for all ages and a pleasant natural setting. With its classic amusement park and separate aquatic area, it offers a full day of entertainment to cater to everyone's desires.

From Simple Beginnings to a Complete Leisure Complex: The History of Cobac Parc

The history of Cobac Parc begins in 1975, the year it opened in the town of Lanhélin, now part of Mesnil-Roc'h, in Ille-et-Vilaine. In its early days, the park laid the foundations for a local leisure offer, aimed primarily at a regional audience. Over the decades, Cobac Parc has undergone progressive development, regularly adding new attractions to enrich its offering and attract a wider audience.

A major turning point in the park's history came in 2011 with the inauguration of Aqua'fun Park. This aquatic area, presented as unprecedented in Ille-et-Vilaine at the time, considerably increased the attractiveness of the site, allowing visitors to combine the pleasure of rides and water games, particularly appreciated during the summer season. The following year, in 2012, Cobac Parc joined the Looping group, a recognized player in the leisure park sector, and moved closer to the Grand Aquarium Saint-Malo, allowing operational synergies and strengthening its position in the Breton tourist market. This integration into a larger group has often allowed investments to modernize and develop the park. In 2015, Cobac Parc celebrated its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of welcoming and entertaining its visitors. This continuous development, from a simple amusement park to a complex including a major aquatic area, testifies to Cobac Parc's ability to reinvent itself and adapt to the changing expectations of the family audience.

Attractions for All Tastes: Between Classic Rides and Aquatic Pleasures

Cobac Parc extends over a wooded area of approximately 12 hectares and offers around forty attractions and activities divided between the amusement park and the Aqua'fun Park. This duality makes it possible to satisfy a wide range of desires and ensure a busy day.

The amusement park area offers a set of classic and family attractions. There are timeless rides such as the swing carousel ("Ronde des fées"), a 1900 carousel, and vehicles to travel on themed circuits ("Promenade des menhirs"). Fans of moderate sensations will appreciate the "Corsaire", a roller coaster that provides its first thrills. More recent additions such as the "Excalibur" drop tower or the "Le Graal" cups complete the offer. The park also offers more interactive attractions such as the "Surcouf" rocking boat or the "Magic Bikes", as well as fun activities such as pedal karts, pedal boats on the central lake and various inflatable structures that are often mentioned as part of the leisure park's activity offer. This variety ensures that children of different ages, as well as their parents, find attractions to their liking.

Aqua'fun Park is a major component of the Cobac Parc experience, open during the summer season. This aquatic area has an impressive collection of 11 slides with varied routes, offering different levels of sensations. Fast slides for the most daring, such as the "Black Hole" or the "Super Crater", are alongside more accessible descents and tube slides, including "La Vague". For younger visitors, the Aqua'Kids Park is a specially designed aquatic play area with adapted structures, water jets and small slides, guaranteeing hours of fun in complete safety. The aquatic area is an undeniable asset in hot weather, allowing you to cool off and have fun in a different setting from the traditional amusement park.
