AMUSEMENT PARKS
Aquafan, Oltremare and many other parks. Fun is waiting for you in the Emilia-Romagna region
Riccione is also famous for hosting two of the large
theme parks situated along the
Adriatic Coast:
Aquafan and
Oltremare which will be capable of entertaining
children while teaching them many new things.
Aquafan
the most famous water park in Europe
Stay at the
Hotel Ambassador and you will have the possibility to discover
Aquafan in Riccione, one of the most famous and most appreciated
water parks in Europe.
Kamikaze
This ride was inaugurated in 1991 by the great Alberto Tomba; even today it is still one of the most appreciated rides. You race down one of the two 90m long chutes at a speed of 65 km/h, a thrill that must be experienced!
Extreme River
As its name specifies, this is a ride for those who love
extreme sensations. This is the water chute down which one can race at a higher speed of 70 km/h.
Speedriul
Try the magic funnel: a special system of intersected tubes and funnels to whizz through at a high speed and then you finally dive into the swimming pool; it is impossible to resist.
StrizzaCOOL
Fear reigns supreme with
StrizzaCOOL: the great ride that has been popular in Aquafan since summer 2010; here, 4 people at a time make their descent on board a rubber dinghy
. The path gives you the possibility to choose between a 150m more adrenalin-fuelled descent and T
obogas, a 250m ride with a less steep curved slope creating a rafting-like effect.
Oltremare
teaching through enjoyment
Oltremare is perfect for
family holidays in Riccione because it offers the ideal day trip destination. Here,
children enjoy themselves so much and they also learn so many new things.
Water
Here you will be able to admire the
Laguna dei Delfini (
Dolphin Lagoon) with a gallery capable of holding 2,500 people;
Pianeta Mare (the Sea Planet), where you learn everything about the Mediterranean and its inhabitants as well as
Hippocampus, the
seahorse aquarium.
Air
At the
Mulino del Gufo (the Owl Mill) you will be able to meet the diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey and you will be able to watch flight and hunting demonstrations; at the “
Pappagalli della Foresta” (
Parrots of the Forest) you will be able to admire rare and multi-coloured examples of these species.
Earth
Travel across
Darwin’s Forest in order to learn about ancient geological eras and their inhabitants, such as the
dinosaurs. Instead, at the “
Fattoria degli animali” (
Animal Farm) children will be able to directly experience the farmland environment and on the “
Delta del Po” (Po Delta) path they will encounter the typical flora and fauna that can be found in this ecosystem.
Fire
On
Pianeta Terra
(Planet Earth) you will find a 4-room long visual journey that will lead you to discover all the stages that have characterised the birth and the development of our planet.
Energy
Adventure Island is a large children’s playground, The
Isola che non c’era (Never, Never Land) is a 30 minute-musical on the history of Peter Pan and Captain Hook;
Storie di Sabbia (Sand Stories) is the expression of Gabriella Compagnone’s talent, who
shapes sand in order to tell stories and arouse constantly new sensations.

Aquafan are only an 8-minute drive away from the
Hotel Ambassador. Our hotel has made a special agreement with the other amusement parks in the Emilia-Romagna region (Italia in Miniatura, Acquario di Cattolica (Cattolica Aquarium), Mirabilandia, etc.): yet another reason to choose us for your next
holiday
on the Adriatic Coast.
