Experience the magic on Lake Garda!
Gardaland is one of Italy's best-known theme parks and is located in Castelnuovo del Garda near Lake Garda. You'll find more than 40 attractions there, both for families with young children and for anyone who loves a serious roller coaster.
Attractions
Gardaland has more than 40 attractions spread across themed areas. For the biggest thrill, choose Oblivion, Raptor or Blue Tornado, and on Shaman you ride through a double loop into the spirit world of the Native Americans. If you'd rather get wet, head to Fuga da Atlantide or Jungle Rapids, and on the Mammut roller coaster you escape from a mammoth in an Arctic landscape. The little ones will have fun in Peppa Pig Land and Fantasy Kingdom.
Food and drink
In the park you'll find restaurants, fast-food outlets and bars for every moment of the day. Pizzeria Saloon, with its Wild West theme, bakes pizzas in a wood-fired oven, and Ristorante Aladino is a large air-conditioned restaurant with an Arabian atmosphere. For burgers, go to Hamburgheria Dragon Empire. There are also gluten-free and vegetarian dishes, plus a Kid's Box for children.
Discover Gardaland
Get wet on the water rides
Fuga da Atlantide, Jungle Rapids and Colorado Boat are water rides where you often get wet. A poncho or dry clothes in your bag will come in handy.
Stay in a themed hotel
Next to the park are Gardaland Hotel, Gardaland Adventure Hotel and Gardaland Magic Hotel. That way you have more than one day to see everything.
Use the official app
In the app you can use GPS to navigate to attractions, restaurants and shows. You can also see the show schedule and get a reminder before a show starts.
Entertainment
Besides the attractions, there are shows every day, including in the Gardaland Theatre and the Teatro della Fantasia. Mascot Prezzemolo and Peppa Pig pose for photos during meet-and-greets. The programme changes with the seasons and includes, for example, Halloween shows and the Magic Winter winter programme.
