The facilities are well manned so there are only a safe number of people on each item. Enjoy park also includes a watered down high-ropes/obstacle course, a climbing wall and a small go-cart track. It also appears as though they are building laser tag (as of mid 2016). I would think the oldest who would enjoy this place is 9. But the trampolines are fun for anyone willing to get on :) Entry is about 5Euro. They also have a 'bar' area that serves some snack food and light refreshments (including beer and wine). There are tables for the parents to sit, relax and have a drink while the kids play. They DO offer birthday parties as well.

Starting with a safari (the white lion is great) you then go into the zoo. Despite the warm temperatures most of the zoo was in the shade. Four red pandas, two snow leopards and a great "giants" enclosure are some of the highlights and, if you want, there is still the dinosaur exhibit at the top of the park. Well worth the effort of going.

Along the way you pass the hamlet of Tenno with its 12th-century castle. It's bikeable from Arco or Riva if you don't mind the elevation gain, some switchbacks and weekend traffic. It's a laid-back destination for local families and all those wishing to escape the bustle of Garda. It's a beautiful spot with pristine white-sand beaches, a small swimmable island and clear blue, albeit chilly, limestone infused waters.

His prices are extremely reasonable, and he has discounted package deals for either 5 or 10 lessons; offering individual lessons catered to either children or adults. There are both indoor and outdoor arenas. We've been a few times now and have enjoyed watching our daughter learn how to ride and become comfortable around the horses. On a side note, there are two great mouser cats that will often come up for a little bit of affection.

There is an entry fee or you can get a discount (if you visit enough spots) by purchasing a Verona card ahead of time. Giardino Giusti is a nice botanical garden. Like other botanical gardens I've visited, it's really all about taking in the beauty of nature. This will include well-manicured trees, plants, and maybe some animals. Giusti has a lot to see including statues and picturesque views of the city. There's also a labyrinth. I'm personally not a fan of them but it's one of the activities you can enjoy. There's even a ballet school for kids that has classes inside. Talk about a picturesque location for some ballet lessons! They give you a nice map with your entrance fee. Either follow it or wander around to check out all of the sights.
