A family of five of us, descended on an overcast (but still hot) Monday.. with 2 kids at 3 and 10 yrs and 58 yr old Nanny... We got discounted tickets through our campsite reception. 4 for the price of 3.. Having read other reviews we left early arriving at 9:45. After paying the €5 for parking about 30 seconds away from the entrance we queued in the pre-sales section, whilst it seemed people buying the tickets on the door went straight in. Anyway we all got wristbands after waiting about 10 minutes (the longest queue of the day). The are used for all in park purchases so no cash is needed.. there is a credit limit which is lower on the kids bands... You pay the balance at the end of the day. We got in at about 10, and ran straight to the sunbed and locker rental (on the left hand side after a couple of restuarants). This was a hut with a waterwheel, with 2 tills on each side so look carefully for the shortest queue. (There was a queue even by this point). The sunbeds come in a set of 2 with a locker attached to the parasol and you get to choose on a map of the park where you want to go. These are chargeable to a wristband and you can only put one set on each wristband. The wife and I queued up and the staff explained in perfect English what we needed to do and the features of each pool. We opted to go near the 'kids' pool and next to Funny land. Although we were early to the park, at least half the loungers had already been selected. We got loungers 35 and 37 (one on my wristband, one on the wife's) which were actually next to each other, a few rows back from the pool.. this was not a problem at all and although on the map looked quite far back, in reality it wasn't. The lockers were activated by the wristbands, you just held it up to the lock to lock/unlock and they were big enough for keys, wallets, phones etc. Some people said in reviews that the food and drink were expensive... We felt it was about what we would expect in a theme/water park and anyway we brought our own lunch.. Some people had giant cool boxes with food/drink. We did buy ice creams and cold drinks which were cheaper than the drinks we had brought at the beach cafés a few days before. We didn't see much of the park due to the kids loving the 'kids' pool. It was deep enough that small kids could stand up, and the flumes were quick enough to be enjoyed by the 10 year old (who spent all day going round and round). In this pool there was a 2 person tube flume which my 3 yr old and I loved... She also loved the smaller 1 person flumes which I could see her walk to the top whilst I waited at the bottom. For those people who have been to the Florida Water Parks, I thought it was like Typhoon Lagoon, without the lazy river, bit with some other great looking rides for older people and a really well designed pool for kids - they loved it. The show's were awesome too... Especially the Peter Pan show! It was a bit confusing from the map where that show was going to be held. Some of the show's are in the arena and clearly signposted, but we asked a member of staff at an ice cream kiosk and she explained that some of the show's have different locations.. Peter Pan Show and the later Pirate show being on the galleon in the middle of the park.. (Where else would you have a Peter Pan show/a pirate show than on a ship!) Well worth taking some time out from the flumes to have watch the show's... the performers were truly breathtaking. We also had a look in 'Funny Land' which had bumber boats and cars that kids could drive (with an adult)..again my 3 yr old loved it, saying that she would drive the big car when she gets home... The only slight downside was that the toilets were basic... A small actual toilet for kids, but otherwise the holes in the ground that are common place across many places in Europe. It just means taking a little bit more care... They had just been cleaned when I used them. Finally the second longest queue of the day (the longest being the 10 minutes to get in the park) was the queue to pay the balance on the wristbands on the way out... We left when the park closed and so there were lots of people trying to leave at the same time... I guess leave earlier of you don't want to queue... We were too busy enjoying the flumes to go earlier... A great day out.. well worth the money! Many happy memories made!

La Fabbrica della Scienza

The biggest scientific interactive exhibition for kids and adults, families and schools. Everybody can learn with fun!

Reviewed By 210helenf

We had a great morning. It cost €40 for a family of four (2 adults, 2 children aged 10 and 14) and I really didn’t think that it would be value for money... I was completely wrong! There were lots of engaging interactive exhibits, with full explanations in Italian, English and German. Each experiment had hand sanitiser for you to use beside it. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The upstairs area with loads of VR experiences such as watching the Aurora Borealis, skydiving, watching whales under the sea etc was very good too.
