History

The park began as a free playground in 1967. Called "Parco Gulliver" (Gulliver Park), it was expanded in the 1990s with amusement park rides and renamed. Additional rides were added in 2001. In February 2006, the Manfredi family bought the park and renovated it with a number of new attractions, including live shows.
