Lake Garda theme parks
Gardaland
This is the biggest and best known of all the Lake Garda theme parks. Gardaland is a Disney-style park located just north of Pescheira del Garda, and there is even a free
bus service (going
every 30 mins) to and from Gardaland from the railway station there. The park opened in 1975 and
has grown since, now getting over 3 million visitors per year! It caters to 'just walking' age and
up, and you can hire pushchairs for 5.00 euros. Did you know that on really
hot days, there is water sprays where the queues are and at various other spots around the
park? So you can enjoy yourself and keep cool at the same time!
There is lots to do at Gardaland, including roller-coasters, water rides, safaris, play areas, shows, and tons of places to eat. New features are
added all the time to maintain their reputation as Italy's largest and most popular themepark.
For the year 2007, Gardaland's opening hours and prices are as follows:
Open from 31st March to 21st June, and 10th September to 30th September 10am to 6pm. From 22nd June
to 9th September it's open from 9:30am to midnight (by the way, I'd like to note here that during
this time if you buy a ticket in the morning, it will be valid until midnight; you don't have to
purchase an evening ticket seperately). Open during the weekends in October and also
from 31st October to 4th November for 'Magic
Halloween', from 9:30am to 6:30pm. Open on 8/9, 15/16, 22-24, 26-31 December and again on 2-6
January 2008 for 'Magic Winter' 10am to 6:30pm. Prices are 27.00 euros per day for ages 10+, 23.00 euros for children under 10 and over 1 metre tall.
The disabled and children under 1 metre are free. You can also get consecutive day tickets, evening tickets and season cards.
Aqua Paradise Park
This is part of Canevaworld resort and is located just north up the road from Gardaland, in between
Pescheira del Garda and Lazise. It's an exciting tropical island park with everything to do with water, including water rides and slides, pools, white-sand beaches, a fishing village and more! There are also restaurants and places to relax around the island. Highly recommended if you love water and it is probably our favourite of the Lake Garda theme parks when the weather is hot!

Open from 19th May to 30th June, and from 1st September to 16th September 10am to 6pm. Open between
