The park has many and important attractions (over 30) located in an area of 70000 square meters including the colorful little train, the roller coaster for adults and children and the Shocking Tower, 50 mt of pure adrenaline from which you can admire the beautiful Tyrrhenian coast.Moreover, inside the park you can find aquatic rides and big structures for the shows like Cinema 4D Movie Stars Theatre and the Grande Pala Verde which can contains 600 people. The Parks has an important didactic area for (the) schools. The project “Green Park Experience” aims to bring (the) kids to discover the unspoiled nature where the park is located. Through a nature trail a tutor offers the chance to know the flora and fauna typical of the Mediterranean wood. Following the motto “Learning has never been so funny” the students will engage themselves in workshops of environmental education about the value of reusing waste and how transform cans and bottles in colorful and fun characters. The students can also learn a draft road safety education, through a path with road signs on board of mini-cars and with the help of a policeman directing the traffic!

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We’re currently staying at Park Albatross in San Vincenzo which is just under 30 min drive from CavallinoMatto. We came here on a Saturday and couldn’t believe how quiet it was. Like the other reviews have said, the most we had to queue was about 10 minutes for the log flume, all other rides we just went straight on.
The rides here are decent too. We love a rollercoaster and it has something for everyone. Lots of rides for all age groups and the park is small enough to get round without feeling wiped out by the end of it, even in the heat!
We thought we’d only be there a couple of hours but spent the whole day here. Great day!
We booked tickets with our campsite and got a discount. We’d definitely recommend this as a day out.

The rides were amazing! It was an amazing experience and day. The food was good as expected. The service was also brilliant with friendly staff. The queues were very short which meant we could go one ride after another swiftly. The rides have a mixture of family-friendly and intense. It was an amazing day, so happy to have been there! I would recommend this to families aged 5+ and days out.

What a brilliant perfectly sized theme park. Awesome rides (11, 14 and 50 years old). Stand up rollercoaster awesome, log flume superb and great variety of rollercoasters. No queues (Aug, monday am), polite helpful staff, clean and lovely vibe can’t recommend highly enough.

A really nice and nicely made amusement park. It is manageable and has great attractions for children as well as for adults. This park is considered particularly sustainable. However, we have not really noticed much of this. For example, there were no dishes labeled as plant-based. We found that disappointing (especially for a green/sustainable psrk). We were also very surprised at how they kept the parrots that they use for the shows. They were crammed into a very small space, all day in the heat with no place to hide. I strongly believe that this is not animal friendly and nowadays not necessary to attract people. It would be nice if the park would give up this unworthy of animals bird keeping.
The rest was really okay and the staff very friendly.

Went with our 3 kids (9,7,4) in November at the end of their season and loved this park! Never have we been to a park where you can hope off a ride, run around and get back on again. They actually had to post signs on the bigger "adrenaline" rides that you can't go on them too frequently! The kids loved the stand up roller coaster (the older kids are tall so it was their first upside down coaster). My husband and I loved the drop tower where you can see over the massive gorgeous canopy of trees to the sea... and then drop 50m ha ha... Good for the whole family. Can't speak for the food as we brought a picnic, but we liked that there weren't a lot of extra costs that would make the kids beg for more stuff. We even liked the shows although we speak no Italian and have no idea what they were saying. The science and dino shows had as laughing regardless. A perfect day out really!

I found the park disappointing for its price. It’s OK for a family with smaller kids, but really nothing compared to the bigger European or UK parks:
1. In September only open on weekends (something we found astonishing)!
2. The inside kiosks ONLY take cash, which is a cheap anachronism in 2019. The kiosk staff was unable to explain they habe an ATM at the entrance (outside the gates).
3. Then, the park has only a 5 larger (=exciting) rides, all the rest is really for small kids around 5-8. If you’re not there with toddlers, I would guess you can finish it in 2 hours max.
4. One big ride (Jurassic Water Thing) was closed „because of problems“. No info upfront on the gates or on the website, and of course no discount.
5. Even in the most tame rides, children have to be accompanied by an adult below the age of 8, which is a bit silly with the electrical cars, or the very slow water rides or the baby roller coasters, which my 7 year old could have all done alone, and I was a bit too tall for as an adult.
Only really positive outstanding was how clean and relatively new everything was, and how nice the surroundings were, with many pine trees and forrest around, and directly situated by the coastline.

We’ve visited Cavallino Matto with 3kids- 5,5 and 3years old. It was a great fun for them with many attractions and no queues at all! Half of the day was absolutely enough to make all rides and one show, so I recommend to go for a “off peak” ticket (2.30-6.30pm). Not so many thrilling attractions for for adults or teenagers can be a little bit boring.

We’ve visited cavallino matto with our 4 and 7 year old whilst on holiday in Tuscany. We had a brilliant time. Very short queues if at all for most rides. The new dinosaur themed rides were brilliant. There was some very wet rides so take a change of clothes or swimmers.
We went to all the shows and enjoyed them all even the 4D movie that was in Italian.
Well worth the money as you can go on all the rides as many times as you like compared to the queues in the UK.

Went there two years ago and now again (Aug-2019) with kids now aging 5 and 8. Both times have been excellent experiences. The park is beautifully situated beneath the pines. So also on a very hot day, this is an absolute bullseye to spend your day as there is plenty of shades. There are numerous water rides to get that needed cooling down. Staff are very considerate and cheerful, they really add to the experience. Ice cream, water, food inside the park are of good quality and are priced honestly. Enjoy the smiles of your kids as they will have a fab experience.

Vorremmo andare con nostra figlia autistica di 13 anni, esiste un sistema agevolato per le code? ho letto che non ci sono parcheggi per disabili, è vero?
Direzione Cavallinomatto
Castagneto Carducci, Italy5 contributions
Ciao, il parcheggio per disabili è proprio all'interno del parco (per farle vedere meglio dove è, guardi la mappa del nostro Parco sul nostro sito internet)
Per quanto riguarda le code, non ci sono mai troppe code neanche alla biglietteria... inoltre, se siete in possesso del certificato 104, la bambina entra gratis e il suo accompagnatore paga un super ridotto a 15€
