The name Mirabilandia means “Land of wonders” and its range of international-level, record-setting attractions and shows lives up to it. Constant improvements ensure new experiences and new emotions from year to year, in a magical world that never ceases to amaze.

Each minute of your time spent here will be a unique experience for parents and children…aged 0-99.

ITALIA IN MINIATURA 

Where: Rimini
Opening: from 18th March 2023

It is the indubitable beauty of the Bel Paese that inspired Rimini’s Italia in Miniatura (Miniature Italy) Park.

Italia in Miniatura is a 3D reverie that celebrates Italy’s historical, architectural and cultural heritage by representing it faithfully and in astounding realistic details.
Italia in Miniatura was founded in 1970 by visionary entrepreneur Ivo Rambaldi, who travelled 27,000 km to visit and measure first-hand (literally! He used to carry a measuring tape with him) churches, piazzas, bridges and monuments.

Today Italia in Miniatura has grown much larger, with several new attractions that keep faith to the park’s edutainment mission and cater for families’ and schoolchildren’s interests.

It presently consists of 300 Italian and European architectural wonders reproduced in painstaking detail at scales ranging from 1:25 to 1:50.
But there is much more besides miniatures: learning has never been so much fun!

THE CERVIA SALINA

Where: Cervia (Ra)
Opening: from 1st April 2023

With its 827 hectares of astounding and suggestive beauty, criss-crossed by 46 km of canals, over 2,000 flamingos and 100 bird species, the Cervia Salinas are a unique Park, a vast expanse of water and salt where history and culture are inextricably linked with local tradition – and only one mile away from the bustling Adriatic coast of Romagna.

Visit at sunset, at all times of year, for a hypnotic scenery that, with its apparent total motionlessness, seems suspended in time and space. Let the minutes roll slowly by (why not consider a cycling trip?) and you will find yourselves on another planet.

During the summer, guided tours are organized to witness the salt harvest, since salt is still produced in the old traditional way, using wooden tools, and the harvesters themselves illustrate their work and the peculiar qualities of the “sweet” salt of Cervia.
