Customer Rating

An ideal parc for those that like playing in and on the water.

The thrills of Gardaland are also only 16km away - wonderful fun for the whole family. Offering fantastic pools and waterslides, Altomincio is great fun for water lovers of all ages. There’s also a host of other activities to enjoy on parc such as a cinema and crazy golf. Further afield Lake Garda is only a 15 minute drive away, making it a great base to explore the best the region has to offer. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why this is such a popular parc. The parc’s owners are keen to invest in the parc and new facilities for 2010 include an ice cream parlour and a 2nd lagoon pool.

Out and about

The parc is situated on the banks of the Mincio river which connects Lake Garda with the larger Po river. Here you can find Salionze, a picturesque town with a fine selection of bars, cafés and restaurants. If thrills are the order of the day, Gardaland is only 16km away or perhaps the lure of fashion capital, Milan, is too great to resist. The parc is within easy reach of the motorways making day trips to Milan, Venice, Verona, Brescia, Modena or Mantova a pleasure.

Take a look at some of the local recommendations for days out and activities our customers have shared with us following their holiday at Altomincio Family Park.

"Malcesine and the cable car was great, but be prepared to queue. Venice by train was good, and we enjoyed Sirmione too, has good restaurants. Lido di Lonato beach just north of Desenzano (45 mins away) and Lugana beach just between Peschiera and Sirmione (30 mins away) are recommended."
N. Waghorn, Dyfed

"The San Leone Vineyard tour was very good. The cable car up Monte Baldo at Malcesine was brilliant - would recommend getting there early and making a day of it. Verona and Venice were lovely but we chose to go on an evening because it was so hot. We also cycled to Peschiera along the river and swam in Lake Garda which was lovely and warm."
K. Uings, Essex

"Venice and Verona were both amazing and well worth a visit - although Venice is very expensive! The parc is ideally placed for day trips to Milan too, and is really easy to travel by train to all destinations from nearby Peschiera."
L. Macdonald, Fyfe

"We visited Gardaland in the evening - perfect for young families with no queues and no sunburn! Sirmione is a beautiful town to visit and would recommend cycling from the parc to Peschiera, we loved it."
M. Brosnan, Co. Kerry

"Parco Sigurta has beautiful gardens and driving the golf buggies around will keep the kids amused. Gardaland was good, better than we were expecting, although all the rides are stopped if it starts to rain. Venice is just 90 minutes away by train and there's a great gelateria at Bardolino!"
S. Yates, Midlothian
