About Leolandia

Leolandia is an amusement park in Brembate, in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy, aimed mainly at families with children but with attractions and shows for all ages and educational routes for schools. It opened on 25 July 1971 as Minitalia, the idea of textile entrepreneur Giovanni Pendezzini, with its final inauguration in April 1974; it was renamed Fantasy World Minitalia in 1997, Minitalia Leolandia in 2008 and simply Leolandia in 2014. Covering 200,000 square metres, it is considered one of the most important parks in northern Italy, and it is generally open from mid-March to early January. Since 2010 it has been managed entirely by the Thorus group.

The park also has an aquarium, a reptile house and an open area with farm animals, alongside its rides and shows for families and children. In its early years Minitalia also had 18 shops selling typical crafts from the different regions, which are no longer present.
