Visitor Tips
What should I wear to Gardaland?
To enjoy your day at Gardaland, it's best to dress in layers, no matter the weather. That way, you can adjust depending on the temperature or the type of attractions you visit. It's also a good idea to wear a swimsuit underneath.
We recommend comfortable, sporty clothes and sneakers, along with sunglasses, a hat, and a waterproof jacket or poncho for water rides. A small crossbody bag for your phone and wallet can also come in handy.
Keep in mind that some rides don't allow backpacks or open footwear like flip-flops or sandals.
When is the best time to visit Gardaland?
The least crowded time to visit Gardaland is usually from opening day (late March/early April) until schools break up in June.
We recommend avoiding summer weekends, national holidays (Easter, May 1st, June 2nd, August 15th), and major events such as Halloween.
What to do if it rains at Gardaland?
Gardaland remains open even in the rain, and opening hours stay the same. However, for safety reasons, some attractions may be temporarily closed. Tickets are not refunded due to bad weather.
Keep in mind that the park has indoor spaces like theaters, restaurants, and shops where you can take shelter until the rain passes.
Where to eat in Gardaland?
Gardaland offers a wide range of dining options to suit all tastes. You’ll find restaurants and pizzerias, fast food spots, bars, snack stands, as well as gluten-free and vegetarian options.
Where to stay near Gardaland?
To make the most of your Gardaland experience, staying inside or near the park is a great option—you’ll get more time on the rides and be among the first to enter and last to leave.
Those looking for a budget-friendly stay can opt for hotels outside the park, enjoying the nearby Lake Garda. Hotels inside the park are more expensive, but they offer a magical, immersive atmosphere.
