The doors of the Romagna Amusement Parks, Europe’s largest park district, are reopening to ensure you fun and many occasions to make new discoveries.
The offer is really varied: wildlife parks, water parks, unique natural sceneries, biodiversity, adrenaline attractions of all kinds.
Perfect for families with children or teenagers, but also for those who never stop having fun and always want to discover something new.
The days are getting longer and the weather is getting better, so what better time to start planning some interesting and fun excursions?
We would like to remind you that seasonal tickets are available and that in some parks if you buy your ticket online and the weather is getting bad, you can change the day at the last minute.
The Parks of Romagna are waiting for you, ready to offer you fun and carefree entertainment, but also culture, in the name of intelligent entertainment.
All this is just a stone’s throw away from the beaches of the Riviera Romagnola and the green hinterland, rich in history.
One last tip?
Buy your ticket online. It is convenient because it allows you to choose the day of entry, guaranteeing you the possibility of organizing your visit at the time you want.
