Amusement Parks, Water Parks and Theme Parks
Different by type, theme, innovative ideas or for immersion in nature, the parks on Lake Garda offer many possibilities for children but also for adults. Let’s see which are the most coveted, by those who book a weekend at the amusement park or a mini trip to Lake Garda, certainly impossible to forget.
Gardaland
In Castelnuovo del Garda, on the Veronese shore, stands what is considered the amusement park par excellence. Gardaland is a world of attractions and games, which attracts thousands of people from all over Italy every year. Reserve surprising routes and structures, such as the world of Prezzemolo, the Colorado Boat, the Shaman and the nearby Gardaland Sealife.
The latter is an aquarium that houses over 5,000 animals that live in the deep sea, divided into thematic areas. We remind you that children who do not reach one meter in height access the Gardaland games for free, while others can only be accessed with a minimum height, for safety reasons.
Giardino Sigurtà Park
This is a Parco Natura sul Garda, located in the Veronese side in Valeggio sul Mincio. It is one of the most unique historic gardens in the world, founded in 1941.
Sigurtà is worth a visit for its beautiful crops, magnificent blooms, the Labyrinth… A path that takes you through 2500 square meters of nature and floral scents, by bike, on foot and even on board a nice panoramic train. A curiosity: here you will find about 1500 specimens of Tasso plants, including picnics and games in the countryside.
ZOO Park Natura Viva
This is a Zoo Park located in Bussolengo, not far from the Veronese shore, which was already born in the 1960s as a Natura Viva Wildlife Park. Today you will find a Safari area and interesting itineraries to get to know the animal kingdom, such as the Aquaterrarium, the Tropical Greenhouse and the Dinosaurs area. Several endangered species are housed in the park, and a visit is an opportunity to learn about the conservation methods used for flora and fauna.
Caneva Aquapark
Here is a water park, located in Lazise (Verona), which also includes a Movieland Studios area in about 100,000 square meters, dedicated to cinema and the reconstruction of cinematic settings.
For those who love water games, between palm trees and beaches reminiscent of the Caribbean, this is the perfect park, where you can play on water slides and attractions including the Windy Lagoon, a lagoon area where a large windmill stands out on the stretches of water, dedicated to children from 0 to 12 years.
Riovalli Water Park
In Cavaion, in the Veronese hinterland not far from Garda, is this water park surrounded by nature. Slides and pools promise fun between curves and descents, as well as play circuits with tubes, multi-track foam and sports equipment in the greenery, one of which is dedicated to the little ones. For the older ones there is also the Super Kamikaze slide, with 50 meters of steep descent!
Jungle Adventure Park
This is an amusement park near Lake Garda in the San Zeno di Montagna part reserved for those seeking the thrill of an adventurous journey. As an Adventure Park, it is divided according to age, to access different roads between cableways, balance trunks, insidious fishermen’s or corsairs’ nets, Himalayan or Canadian bridges to cross, “adrenaline-pumping” jungle bridges, beams of the bear.
If you don’t like adventure, you can reserve a botanical path or a fitness area for yourself, leaving the passion for risk to others.
Busatte Adventure Adventure Park
Another adventure park on Lake Garda is located in Nago-Torbole in the northernmost area, and is worth a visit if you love green passages and bike excursions.
