Gardaland - Gardaland is a huge amusement park, the highlights being heart-pounding roller coasters (a goldmine for thill-seeking tweens and teens) and the biggest water ride in Europe, but there's also fantasy-themed rides for little ones, water play areas and open air shows. Tip: In summer, the lines can get very long, so come early.

Next door to Gardaland is the SeaLife Aquarium, where kids can see the marine life of Lake Garda, alpine rivers, and the Mediterranean, plus tanks with sea lions, tropical fish, seahorses and jellyfish. Touch sea anemones and starfish in the touch pools, and don't miss the shark feedings.
