Leolandia theme park 55th anniversary

Overview

The Italian theme park Leolandia, located near Bergamo, is celebrating its 55th anniversary. Originally opened in 1971 as Minitalia in Capriate, the park featured scaled reproductions of Italian monuments before undergoing a major transformation following its acquisition by Thorus in 2007.

President Giuseppe Ira reports that the park is experiencing a strong season with attendance levels exceeding those of the previous year. To accommodate growth, the park has implemented initiatives such as extended Saturday hours and two-day ticket options. Ongoing investments are also being directed toward new attractions intended to appeal to older children while maintaining the park's family-oriented identity.
