The most famous and largest amusement parks in Italy: Gardaland, Movieland, Caneva Aquapark, Parco Sigurtà, Parco Natura Viva and Busatte Adventure.
Here we will tell you all about the most famous amusement parks on Lake Garda, and then explore some outdoor activities to do with the entire family.
The amusement parks of Garda
Along the shores of this lake you’ll find some of the most famous and largest amusement parks in Italy. Let’s start with Gardaland, known by many as ‘the’ amusement park in Italy. It was inaugurated in 1975 in Castelnuovo del Garda, and it has never stopped evolving and expanding.
The beauty of Gardaland is the fact that there are attractions for any age: from early childhood, with themed areas such as Peppa Pig Land, Prezzemolo Land and Fantasy Kingdom, up to rides for older children and the more daring, such as Blue Tornado, Oblivion and Raptor. There is also no shortage of adventurous attractions, where guests are challenged to escape from Atlantis, navigate the rapids of the jungle or even move among the mammoths.
Another well-known park near Lake Garda is Movieland, a park dedicated to the world of cinema, with many shows, film sets, incredible special effects and routes dedicated to adventure. Caneva Acquapark is a water park that offers fun and adrenaline with its waterslides, but also lots of relax and refreshment.
These are just some of the parks on Lake Garda - there are others where the focus is nature, such as the famous Sigurtà Park in Valeggio sul Mincio, and the Parco Natura Viva zoo-safari south of the lake.
Open-air parks: spend time outdoors with your family
Finally, we must not forget that Garda Trentino, with its unique landscapes, panoramas and ecosystem where mountains and lakes meet, is a gigantic “open-air” park, offering diverse outdoor activities for the whole family. You can choose between a variety of experiences, from bike excursions to canoe trips, from trekking to via ferratas.
Those looking for outdoor fun in complete safety can also visit the Busatte Adventure Park, near Torbole, just 4 kilometers from our apartments in Riva del Garda. You will discover acrobatic routes between the trees suitable for all ages, with lianas, cableways, Tibetan bridges and fun balancing games.
