Gardaland

Veneto, ItalyTheme parks Verified details

Italy's biggest theme park, on the south-east shore of Lake Garda.

The largest park in Italy and an easy day from any of the Garda campsites: a good spread of coasters, a Peppa Pig land for under-sixes and a separate Sea Life aquarium. Summer afternoons are brutally hot, so most families go early, break at midday and return for the evening. Online dated tickets are meaningfully cheaper than the gate.

  • Largest theme park in Italy
  • Peppa Pig Land for toddlers
  • Shuttle from Peschiera
