Familienland Pillersee, Theme park in Sankt Jakob in Haus, Austria
Familienland Pillersee is a family theme park in Sankt Jakob in Haus, a small town in the Tyrolean mountains near the Pillerseetal valley. The grounds hold over fifty attractions, ranging from a roller coaster and water rides to a petting zoo, slides, and an indoor area for rainy days.
The Berger family has been running the park for over twenty-nine years, growing it from a small local attraction into one of the best-known family destinations in the region. New rides and areas have been added regularly over the years, shaping the park into what visitors see today.
The park sits in the Pillerseetal valley, a region where families have been spending their summers for decades, and it has become a regular part of that tradition for many. Local visitors return year after year, and some remember coming here as children.
Arriving early in the day helps avoid the longest lines, especially on weekends and holidays. The park is stroller-friendly and fully accessible, with free parking available right at the entrance.
The park is home to Austria's largest family roller coaster, which is a rare feature for a mountain park of this size. It also has Dead Sea salt caves with a specific microclimate that some visitors use for a break between rides.
