The Riviera's amusement parks, Italia in Miniatura, Oltremare and the Cattolica Aquarium, also dress up for the Christmas time and open to the public to give adults and children a Christmas full of fun and celebrate the arrival of the new year with lots of surprises.

Italia in Miniatura is open on 3,8,9,10 and 17 December, and then every day from 26 December (Boxing Day) to 7 January. During the holidays, the park's most characteristic attractions will be in operation. A very tall decorated Christmas Tree welcomes visitors to Piazza Italia, where the days will be enlivened with Christmas music, a shower of bubbles and children's make-up to transform everyone into their favourite characters.

From 8 to 10 December, Oltremare, the Family Experience Park, welcomes young guests who can meet Father Christmas in a magical forest at the Oltremare Theatre, to make wishes and bring their own little letters. The park is then open every day, from 26 December to 7 January.

The largest aquarium in the Adriatic Sea is also open on 3, 8, 9, 10, 17 December and then every day from 26 December to 7 January. Here, with a single ticket, you can visit 4 colourful routes with thousands of animals and in the Blue route you can admire the magical Submerged and Green Cribs, designed and created by artists from all over Italy.
