Gardaland, the amusement park of Lake Garda

Gardaland is the largest and most famous amusement park in Italy. It is located in the municipality of Castelnuovo del Garda, in the province of Verona, on the shores of Lake Garda, with the Alps in the background.

Gardaland was inaugurated in 1975 and has come a long way since then, becoming the most visited theme park in Italy. The park is divided into thematic areas, has around 40 attractions, including 5 roller coasters that will take your breath away!

Gardaland is also one of the leading entertainment centers in Europe. It is the eighth most visited park in Europe, with about 3 million visitors in the last year. The many attractions of the park and the various shows allow a journey through time through ancient Egypt, medieval England or pirate ships.

Like all amusement parks, Gardaland also has a mascot, its name is Prezzemolo.

Gardaland 2022 opening and new attractions

Gardaland is a modern amusement park, which keeps up with the times and which is always looking for new stimuli to guarantee the public a truly unforgettable experience.
This year, the Lake Garda amusement park will reopen to the public on March 12, allowing all its guests to inaugurate spring by spending carefree weekends full of fun and conviviality.
Starting from 12 March and during the following two weekends (12-13, 19-20 and 26-27 March), 25 attractions will be available in Gardaland, including the adrenaline-pumping Mammut, Escape from Atlantis, Raptor and Oblivion.

When it reopens, regular visitors will be able to embrace the attractions they know again and those who have never visited the park can have fun discovering them.
For both, however, there will be some news in this 2022: during the winter break, as always, the park reserves the right to restore, embellish and improve the visitor experience, also adding new attractions.
The News of Gardaland 2022 will be Jumanji: The Adventure, which will be inaugurated from April 2nd.
It is the first attraction in the Jumanji themed world and is a major investment of 20 million euros. It will be a unique attraction in the world, both in terms of scenography and technology.

Visitors can also have fun trying the LEGOLAND® Water Park Gardaland, the first LEGOLAND® Water Park in Europe inaugurated last year and attracting millions of visitors at the Park during the 2021 season.

The use of the App QODA already used last year to manage queues at attractions will also be confirmed. With regard to spacing and sanitization, this made it possible to avoid any contagion within the structure during the past season.
