About this place

Coasters run from gentle to the wing-over thrills of Raptor, Peppa Pig Land mops up the toddlers and the attached SEA LIFE aquarium earns the combination ticket. Italians arrive late, so be at the gates for opening and you'll bank the big rides by noon — then reward everyone with pizza and a lakeside swim at Peschiera.
