Plopsa Coo

Nestled in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, Plopsa Coo presents itself as a unique family destination, combining the fun of an amusement park with the natural splendour of the surroundings, particularly the famous Coo waterfalls. This site offers a playful and relaxing getaway, leveraging its exceptional setting to provide a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.

History and Development

The Coo site has a long history as a tourist attraction point, well before the arrival of the Plopsa group. Originally known as TéléCoo, then Parc de Coo, it already offered attractions integrated into the landscape, such as the iconic chairlift and a wildlife park. The acquisition of the site by the Plopsa group, a subsidiary of Studio 100, marked a turning point in its development. This takeover led to the gradual transformation of the park, integrating the famous Studio 100 characters while preserving and modernising the existing attractions and respecting the exceptional natural setting. Development continues with regular updates to infrastructures and offerings.

The Offering: Park, Accommodation and Activities

Plopsa Coo's offering is centred around its amusement park which offers a variety of attractions for the whole family, ranging from roller coasters to calmer rides, often themed around the popular Studio 100 characters. The park also retains historical attractions like the chairlift offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Amblève valley and the waterfalls. Regarding accommodation, Plopsa Coo does not have a hotel directly on the park site, but the Plopsa group offers accommodation options in the immediate vicinity, including a campsite and glamping possibilities, allowing visitors to extend their stay in nature. Beyond the park's attractions, activities like mini-golf are available on site, and the natural setting invites other leisure activities.
