The Leolandia amusement park has over 50 attractions and rides designed for children of all ages, and it will give them the opportunity to have the time of their lives and experience incredible encounters with their favourite cartoon characters. Leolandia is so much more than an amusement park: it is a small enchanted world where imagination comes to life.

Where is Leolandia?

Located in Capriate San Gervasio, halfway between Milan and Bergamo, from which it is just 16.5 km away, Leolandia is one of Italy’s best-loved theme parks, designed primarily for families with children.

Opened in 1971 with the name Minitalia, Leolandia has reinvented itself over the years, changing its name to FantasyWorld Minitalia in 1997.

Since 2008, the park has officially taken on the name Leolandia, and today it has become a favourite destination for those seeking an immersive, educational and safe leisure experience for children.

Leolandia’s Attractions

Leolandia is a child-friendly park, designed for those between 2 and 10 years old, with attractions divided according to age and height – perfect for little explorers, but fun for adults as well.

What attractions and rides are there in Leolandia?

The main thematic areas include:

Masha and the Bear’s Forest. This is one of the most popular areas, where children can enter the Bear House, play with musical equipment and take part in interactive shows. The chance to meet Masha and the Bear live to take a photo is one of those moments that children will never forget.

From up there you can enjoy a wonderful view of the park and the surrounding nature; it is ideal for a relaxing break between one attraction and the next, and despite its height it is also accessible to children under 90 cm.

Minitalia

A historic and iconic area of the park is Minitalia, an itinerary that reproduces to scale some of Italy’s most famous monuments. Besides being a fascinating attraction, it is also an educational opportunity to discover Italian geography and culture.

Most monuments are on a 1:50 scale, but some iconic structures, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, are made on a 1:33 scale in order to offer visitors an even more impressive range of details.

Talking statues of famous figures from Italian history such as Dante Alighieri and Giacomo Leopardi accompany Minitalia’s visitors to Leolandia with stories and anecdotes about the places represented.

Throughout the year, Leolandia organises seasonal events that are particularly popular with families. Among the main ones there are:

HalLEOween: one of the most iconic and cheerful activities, with themed decorations, haunted shows and treats galore for young and old to enjoy!
Enchanted Christmas: A time when the park is transformed into an enchanted village with snow, elves and Santa Claus so that children can experience a moment of magic.
Carnevale: Also for Carnival, the park offers special opening hours with masks and fun shows.
Summer Splash: a timeless moment of extreme fun, with water games and summer entertainment.

What’s new?

In the last few years, Leolandia has invested heavily in expanding its themed areas, with new attractions inspired by characters such as Bing, Ladybug and Chat Noir. It has also improved accessibility, introduced new refreshment areas and enhanced security measures.

In 2025, a new 20,000 m² themed area was opened, with 10 new attractions, including two rides that had never been seen before in Italy, designed for children and young people looking for exciting adventures.
