Italy is home to several theme style amusement parks, with the largest ones located in the north. It isn't Disney, but they do make for an excellent "day off" from sightseeing. In the Lakes Region there is Gardaland, Italy's largest amusement park with rollercoasters, themed attractions and water rides. Another popular attraction is Italia in Miniatura near Rimini, where kids can explore Italy and Europe's most famous buildings at their own level. There is also an entire miniature Venice, laser shows and a log flume ride. Italy also has a growing number of water parks all across the country - with at least three in and around Rimini - and make a great way to spend a hot Italian summer day.
