THE first LEGO-themed waterpark in Europe has officially re-opened for the summer season.

And in 2019, Gardaland opened the first, and only, LEGOLAND-themed water park in the world.
The waterpark has been closed through the winter months, but from May 31, 2025, has started to welcome visitors back to the pools and flumes.
It’s a great place to cool down during the summer months, especially for any fans of Lego.
The water park has taken a lot from the parks, including its own Italian Miniland.
The recognisable Miniland is the heart of every Legoland Park where visitors can see the most iconic landmarks from across the world.
Gardaland water park also has its own lazy river called the River Adventure, a slow-moving river.
Visitors can bob down the slow-moving water attraction on a dinghy customised with Lego bricks.
From there, you can actually see Miniland depicting Italy and spot a Lego-brick built Colosseum, Tower of Pisa, Basilica and Bell Tower of St. Mark’s Square.
Also in the water park is a Beach Party – with its seven slides and a huge tipping bucket of water.
Also in the park is the Pirate Bay swimming pool, as well as a pirate fortress, as well as Jungle Adventure waterslides and Beach Party cannons.

For younger kids, there’s the Duplo splash park, which has smaller water rides and attractions.
Creation Island is the spot to go to for any kids who want to make their own Lego designs.
Souvenir shops and restaurants will also be opening in the park.
The water park is a real hit with visitors, one wrote on Tripadvisor: “The park is phenomenal and the water park is absolutely amazing.”
One even said it gives “I loved the jumanji ride, and the kids loved legoland water park.”
Another said that the water park is the perfect place to “cool down” in the summer.
According to Expedia, one-way flights from the UK to Valerio Catullo Airport in Verona starting at £24.
From there, Gardaland is a 25-minute drive towards the coast.
Here’s what Gardaland was like from a Sun Travel writer who actually visited.
She described her time there as being “one of the best family breaks we’ve ever had.”
And one Sun Travel writer lives in the water park capital of the UK – and you can visit five of the country’s best for £8.
Plus, the tropical indoor UK waterpark families say ‘feels like a holiday abroad’ that has 30 attractions and is 31C in winter.
