The park is owned by the Leicht family and managed by Christoph Andreas Leicht. The park attracts more than a million visitors each year, making it the fifth largest German amusement park. Stern magazine, in collaboration with the BAT Freizeit-Forschungsinstitut (Leisure Research Institute) tested the ten leading German amusement parks. Hansa-Park scored second place behind Europa-Park overall and first place in the north. The Family Park by the Sea was the first German amusement park to receive the OK for Kids seal of approval from the Deutscher Kinderschutzbund (the German Association for the Protection of Children) and TÜV Nord (Technical Inspection Association, North) for the whole park.

The grounds are divided into eleven different themed areas, including Adventure Land, Old-Time Fun Fair, Beautiful Britain, Bonanza-City, The Realms of the North, Fiesta del Mar, Hansa Garden, The HANSEATIC LEAGUE in EUROPE, Lumberjacks' Camp, Children's World, Water Fun and Land of the Vikings.[2] Each of these areas contains rides and shows consistent with its theme. The park's special charm lies in its careful and detailed use of theming, with many little gags positioned along the way to the large attractions.
