Romagna is one of Italy’s most family-friendly destinations, and this also applies to its theme parks. Not all of them, however, are the same: some are perfect for teenagers and adrenaline seekers, whilst others are designed specifically for younger children.
If you’re travelling with pre-schoolers or children in their early school years, there are several ideal options that combine fun, safety and family-friendly sizes.
Parks that are ideal for young children (aged 2–6)
Fiabilandia
It’s the perfect park when it comes to young children.
Over 30 themed attractions, fairy-tale settings such as Merlin’s Castle and the Gnomes’ Village, and rides suitable for children aged 2 and over.
It is designed specifically for families, and most of the attractions are suitable for young children.
Italy in Miniature
A park that’s different from a traditional funfair, but perfect for children.

It is also an ideal solution in the event of bad weather.
Water parks with children’s areas

Atlantica
Perfect for a quieter day.

It isn’t designed exclusively for children, but it does offer a number of options suitable for families.
Why Romagna is ideal for families
As well as the individual parks, what makes Romagna particularly child-friendly is the way the region is organised as a whole.
The attractions are within easy reach of one another, the facilities are designed with families in mind, and there is a wide range of things to do: the seaside, theme parks and outdoor activities.
Conclusion
If you’re travelling with young children, Romagna is a reliable and well-rounded choice.
With theme parks, educational activities and water parks, you can plan a well-rounded holiday, alternating between fun and relaxation.
