Mirabilandia Amusement Park: 1-Day Entry Ticket
Mirabilandia packs Italy’s biggest amusement park into an enormous 850,000-square-metre site near Ravenna. I like the mix of serious roller coasters and gentle family rides, and I like that the ticket includes the park’s shows as well as its main attractions. The main catch is that several extras, including Mirabeach and Ducati World’s Motion Sphere simulators, cost more.
For a full day of thrills, this is a strong $35 value, especially if you plan to ride several headline attractions. Families with small children should note that free entry applies only to kids under 100 centimetres, while the park’s size means you will want a loose plan before you arrive.

Key points at a glance

- Katun flies above an ancient Mayan setting: This inverted coaster is one of the park’s signature adrenaline rides.
- Nickelodeon Land is the major 2025 addition: The new 25,000-square-metre area includes 10 attractions, dining outlets, and a shop.
- Ducati World adds a motorcycle theme: You can enter the area with your ticket, but the Motion Sphere simulators are not included.
- Hot Wheels City brings live stunt action: The show gives you a break from rides without slowing down the excitement.
- Bimbopoli is built for younger children: This children’s town offers a softer side of the park.
- The $35 ticket covers one day of core access: Mirabeach, The Walking Dead, and selected Ducati World attractions are separate.
Why Mirabilandia works for a full day near Ravenna

Mirabilandia is not a small fairground with a handful of rides. The park covers 850,000 square metres and offers more than 40 attractions across six themed areas. That scale matters because you can build very different kinds of days here.
You might spend the morning on large roller coasters, switch to shows after lunch, then take the Ferris wheel when you need a calmer hour. Families can split up for a little while, with older children seeking fast rides and younger ones staying in Bimbopoli or Nickelodeon Land.
The park is near Ravenna, making it a practical add-on to a visit in Emilia-Romagna. It is also the sort of place that needs a full day. A quick afternoon visit would make it hard to see much beyond a few rides, particularly if queues are long.
I would treat the ticket as an all-day admission rather than a simple entry pass. The value improves when you use several rides and attend at least one show. If you only want to see one or two attractions, the price may feel less compelling.

Katun and iSpeed bring the serious thrills

For many adults and older children, Katun is the reason to come. It is an inverted roller coaster, so the track runs above you while your legs hang free. The ride passes over the ruins of an ancient Mayan city, giving the coaster a clear visual theme instead of placing the machinery in a plain open field.
Katun is described as one of the park’s major adrenaline attractions. If you prefer speed, height, and a more intense ride, put it near the top of your plan. I would not make it the first stop for a nervous child, but it gives experienced coaster fans a proper headline attraction.
iSpeed offers another major dose of speed. It is listed among the park’s record-breaking attractions, so it belongs in the same priority group as Katun for thrill seekers. The exact ride order will depend on crowd levels, but you should identify both early rather than hoping to fit them in at the end of the day.
The important planning point is simple: do the rides you care about most before fatigue sets in. A huge park can tempt you to wander from area to area, but that approach may leave the biggest attractions until the busiest part of the day.
Eurowheel offers a slower view of the park

After the coasters, Eurowheel provides a useful change of pace. At 90 metres high, it is the park’s large Ferris wheel and offers a quiet ride above the grounds.
I like this kind of attraction in a full-day park because it gives you time to sit, look around, and reset. It is also a better choice for family members who do not enjoy fast rides. You can still share the park’s excitement without strapping into a coaster.
Eurowheel may be especially useful during the middle of the day, when you want a pause but do not want to leave the action. The supplied information does not promise a particular view or ride duration, so think of it as a high, calm circuit rather than a formal sightseeing platform.
Nickelodeon Land changes the family offer in 2025

The major new feature for 2025 is Nickelodeon Land, a 25,000-square-metre area aimed at children and adults together. Its characters include SpongeBob, the Ninja Turtles, PAW Patrol, and other familiar Nickelodeon figures.
The area includes 10 attractions, three dining outlets, one shop, and additional themed features. That makes it more than a single children’s ride. If your family knows these characters, the area should give younger children a clear focus for the day.
Nickelodeon Land also helps solve a common amusement park problem: older children may want intense rides while younger ones need attractions at their own scale. The new zone gives families a recognizable place to regroup.
You should still check height rules at individual rides when planning your day. The general free-entry rule is clear: children under 100 centimetres enter without a ticket. It does not mean every child above that height can use every attraction.
Because Nickelodeon Land is new for 2025, it may be a major reason to visit now rather than rely on an older impression of the park. The area adds character-based entertainment to a park already known for large coasters and stunt shows.

Ducati World brings motorcycles into the park
Ducati World gives Mirabilandia a distinctive Italian angle. Instead of a standard fantasy theme, this area is built around Ducati motorcycles and the speed culture associated with them.
The park ticket gives you access to Ducati World, but it does not include the Motion Sphere simulators. That distinction is important. You can visit the themed area as part of your day, yet some of its most specialized attractions require an additional payment.
I would treat Ducati World as a bonus area for families with motorcycle fans, rather than assuming it will fill an entire day. It broadens the park’s appeal, especially for adults who may not be interested in children’s character rides. Check the cost and availability of the simulators before committing if they are central to your plan.
This is also a good example of why the $35 ticket should be read as a base admission price. It covers a lot, including more than 40 attractions and shows, but not every separately branded experience.
Dinoland adds creatures and family-friendly adventure

Dinoland uses prehistoric creatures as its theme and places attractions under the watch of those larger-than-life animals. It offers a middle ground between the park’s small-child areas and its most intense coasters.
The theme should work well for children who like dinosaurs but are not ready for the biggest rides. It also gives adults a chance to stay in a family area without spending the whole day on very gentle attractions.
The supplied information does not give a full ride-by-ride list for Dinoland, so I would avoid arriving with a fixed expectation about a particular attraction. Instead, use it as one of the areas to explore when you need a break from the headline coasters.
Bimbopoli is the softer side of Mirabilandia

Bimbopoli is described as the ultimate Children’s Town, and it is clearly aimed at younger children. This is where families can give small children their own part of the day instead of treating them as spectators while older siblings ride coasters.
That matters at a park this large. A day built only around Katun and iSpeed would not work for a family with toddlers. Bimbopoli helps make the ticket useful across age groups, although children’s interests and height requirements will still determine how much they can do.
Kids under 100 centimetres enter free and do not need a ticket. Bring a way to confirm your child’s height if they are close to that cutoff, and remember that free entry does not remove the need to supervise them through the park.
Hot Wheels City is a worthwhile break from rides

Mirabilandia’s Hot Wheels City Stunt Show is one of the park’s signature shows. It uses live stunts and fast-moving action, giving you entertainment that does not depend on riding a coaster.
I consider shows especially valuable in an amusement park because they add variety to the day. You can sit down, watch something together, and give your legs a rest while still getting speed and spectacle.
Show schedules can shape your entire day, so check the current times when you enter. The information provided confirms access to the shows with the ticket, but it does not list specific performance times. Plan around the show rather than assuming you can catch it whenever you want.
What the $35 ticket really includes
At $35 per person, the ticket is reasonably priced for a full day in a major amusement park, provided you use the main attractions. You receive one day of entry plus access to all included rides and shows.
The ticket does not include:
- Ducati World Motion Sphere simulators
- The Walking Dead attraction
- Mirabeach Water Park
These exclusions do not make the ticket poor value, but they change how you should budget. If you want a water-park day, Mirabeach is not covered. If a specialized simulator or The Walking Dead attraction is a priority, expect another charge.
You can choose between an open-date ticket, which can be used on any day, and a cheaper standard ticket for a specific date. The standard option is better if your schedule is fixed. The open-date version costs more but gives you flexibility if weather or plans may change.
The park operates in rain or sunshine, with indoor and outdoor entertainment. That makes the open-date option more useful for a changeable forecast, though the non-refundable policy means you should choose carefully.
How to shape your one-day plan
Start by deciding who is in your group. A day with teenagers and coaster fans should give priority to Katun and iSpeed. A day with small children should give more time to Bimbopoli and Nickelodeon Land.
A practical order looks like this:
- Begin with one or two top-priority rides.
- Move through a nearby themed area instead of crossing the whole park repeatedly.
- Set aside time for Hot Wheels City.
- Use Eurowheel as a calmer break.
- Visit Dinoland, Ducati World, or Bimbopoli based on your group’s ages.
- Return to any missed favorite attractions if time and energy allow.
This is not a guided tour, so nobody will organize your day for you. That freedom is useful, but it also means you need to watch the clock and show schedule yourself.
The park’s sheer size is both its strength and its drawback. More space means more variety, but it also means that casual wandering can eat up valuable ride time. I would choose a few priorities before arrival, then leave room for discoveries.
Weather, access, and practical limits
Mirabilandia welcomes you in rain or sunshine, with both indoor and outdoor entertainment. That does not mean every attraction will feel the same in bad weather, but it does mean you are not buying a ticket that only makes sense under a perfect forecast.
The activity is wheelchair accessible. The available information does not provide detailed access rules for each ride, so if a particular attraction matters to you, confirm its requirements before booking.
The ticket is valid for one day. You can check availability for the starting time, and you should pay attention to the date choice because the standard ticket is tied to a specific day while the open-date option offers more flexibility.
Halloween is celebrated at the park from October 5 through November 3. If seasonal theming appeals to you, those dates may add a different mood to the visit. If you prefer a regular park day, choose a date outside that period.
Who should book Mirabilandia?
I would recommend Mirabilandia to families with children of different ages, teenagers who want major coasters, and adults who enjoy amusement parks with several distinct themes. The combination of Katun, iSpeed, Eurowheel, live shows, and children’s areas gives most groups enough variety for a full day.
It is less suitable if you dislike rides, want a short visit, or expect every attraction to be included in the entry price. You should also think twice if your only goal is Mirabeach, since the water park is not part of this ticket.
The strong 4.5 rating from 244 bookings fits the park’s broad appeal. The short public comments are enthusiastic, including one Romanian visitor calling it a terrific amusement park and an Italian booking simply describing it as wow. Those comments are brief, but they match the core strength here: the park delivers a lot of straightforward fun when you give it a full day.
Should you book this ticket?
Book it if you want a large, energetic park with real coasters, family zones, character rides, and a live stunt show near Ravenna. At $35, the included access is good value for a full day, particularly when you use several major rides and take in a show.
Before paying, decide if you need Mirabeach, The Walking Dead, or the Ducati World simulators. None is included. Families should also measure children carefully, note the under-100-centimetre free-entry rule, and choose between the flexible open-date ticket and the cheaper date-specific option.
For most families and thrill seekers, Mirabilandia is worth booking. Just arrive with a short priority list, not the idea that you can see every corner without a plan.
