Water parks
Caribe Bay and Aquafollie
In Jesolo, Caribe Bay is a Caribbean-themed water park with rides for all ages; in Caorle, Aquafollie has a wave pool, a lazy river and thrilling slides. Both open in summer.

Funfair and bouncy castles
New Jesolandia, a big evening funfair designed mainly for children, and the Gommapiuma inflatable parks in the squares of the Lido.
Big wheel and galleons
The Wheel of Venice, a 60-metre observation wheel in Piazza Brescia, plus trips on the Venetian galleon and Jolly Roger pirate cruises along the coast and in the lagoon.
Sand sculptures
Every year in Piazza Brescia, artists from around the world create a large sand sculpture trail with free entry. In winter, the sand nativity scene returns.
Gardaland and Ai Pioppi
Gardaland, Italy’s most famous theme park, on Lake Garda. For something truly different, the Osteria Ai Pioppi in Nervesa della Battaglia, with its hand-built playground that runs without electricity.
