Italy's largest theme park


Gardaland, situated on the banks of Lake Garda in the heart of Verona, is the largest theme park in Italy, attracting more than 3m visitors every year.

Blending all the attractions of a top class water park (including an excellent dolphin park) with roller coasters, shows and family attractions, Gardaland is a perfect day out for anyone visiting the north of Italy.

Opened this year, the Gardaland Theatre hosts a number of Broadway-inspired shows while Time Voyagers takes riders on an "extra-sensorial" journey through time.

Other highlights include the Corsairs, a boat trip around a tropical island fully equipped with sea monsters and Spanish pirates and Blue Tornado, a roller coaster in which riders sit in a replica jet plane.

Space Vertigo is the requisite 40 metre free-fall rides, while the Fantasy Kingdom is a special area full of wondrous activities for smaller children. The Jungle Rapids, meanwhile, takes riders on a tour around an ancient civilisation on the side of an erupting volcano.
