How to make the most of your time at Gardaland with crowd-avoidance strategies developed by our expert team.
Choose the right day
Weekdays (Monday-Friday) are generally less crowded than weekends and public holidays, but not all days are equal: Monday is typically one to avoid, while Sunday is often a better choice. Always check our Crowd Forecasts, updated daily, to choose the ideal day.
Arrive early or late
Arriving before opening, or during the final hours of the day, lets you enjoy shorter queues.
Start with the less crowded attractions
Blue Tornado, Mammut, Fuga da Atlantide, Raptor and Magic House often have the longest queues from the morning onward. It’s worth starting with Oblivion, Space Vertigo and Jungle Rapids, which are generally less crowded, before moving mid-morning toward the areas that open later (some areas open at 11 or 12).
Use meal times to your advantage
Queues often get shorter during lunch and dinner, when many visitors are at the restaurants. Visit the attractions during those times and stop to eat around 2-3 PM, once the queues have thinned out a bit.
Gardaland Express
If you want to avoid waiting altogether, the paid Gardaland Express service is available on some of the park’s most popular attractions.
