EuroPark Milano

Segrate, Italy

“This is not an amusement park, it’s a funfair”

When travelling from abroad, EuroPark Milano may be the easiest Italian theme park to get to. Whilst the park is far less famous than Gardaland, Mirabilandia or MagicLand, getting there is a breeze. Simply book a flight to Milan’s Linate Airport and you’ll be able to ride a roller coaster mere minutes after landing. After all, EuroPark is less than two kilometres from Linate’s main terminal. The park opened in 1965 and functions as a sort of permanent funfair. Entry to the park is free and you pay per ride, or you can opt for an all-inclusive pass that grants unlimited access to most of the rides.

ROLLER COASTERS

The unlimited wristband is perfect for visitors who want to go on every carousel and flat ride at EuroPark. However, if you’re purely interested in the roller coasters, it’s probably better to simply buy individual ride tickets. In 2026, roller coaster rides are priced at approximately 4 or 5 euros, which is slightly less than what you’d pay at a typical European funfair. The park’s smallest credit is Bruco Mela, a standard Wacky Worm with rather interesting theming. Apart from the attraction’s standard decorative elements, we noticed a colourful mishmash of extra props. The lineup includes a giant pumpkin, a Christmas sleigh and a whole host of (slightly creepy) figures from Disney’s The Lion King. I never thought I’d see Scar, the hyenas and Rafiki next to Santa’s favourite vehicle. But hey… I prefer crazy theming over no theming at all.

Unfortunately, ‘no theming at all’ is exactly what we’re seeing while approaching the park’s other two roller coasters. One of them is Montagne Russe Franchini, a Zyklon model of which, according to the Roller Coaster Database, no fewer than 440 exist. Although this ride is anything but original, it managed to surprise us in a positive way. The paint on the tracks and supports looked fresh and shiny, while the ride experience was noticeably smoother than expected. The same applies to roller coaster number three. Coaster Loop counts as EuroPark’s most thrilling roller coaster. This is also a Zyklon, albeit a slightly taller and faster version that also features a vertical loop. We were once again bracing ourselves for a rough and painful experience, but it turned out to be pretty decent. Beware for that tight – and therefore surprisingly intense – inversion, though.

OTHER EXPERIENCES

As EuroPark Milano is a funfair with mobile rides, the attraction lineup can vary from year to year. This applies both to the roller coasters and to the many flat rides on offer. During our visit in 2026, the collection included Galeone (a swinging ship that, for some reason, is placed underneath a striking canopy), Music Express (a ride similar to those found on German funfairs), Matterhorn (a high-speed carousel) and a pair of swinging rides called Super Frisbee and Frisbee 2.0. The old-fashioned Aviator, meanwhile, provided a nostalgic moment for those who still remember the Dancing Queen at Bellewaerde Park. In our opinion, though, the most extraordinary flat ride at EuroPark was Condor. This 25-metre-tall ride uses the base of a classic Huss Condor, but the owners transformed it into a sort of Star Flyer. And in case you find those classic Wave Swinger seats a bit too lame, you can also experience this ride while standing up inside a steel cage. Thrills guaranteed.

Finally, EuroPark offers a number of children’s rides, a go-kart track, a rickety-looking haunted house and a log flume with a plastic-fantastic pirate theme.

WORTH A VISIT?

This probably won’t come as a surprise: EuroPark Milano isn’t a top-class theme park. The atmosphere is bland and most of the attractions look terribly cheap. Besides, it seemed nearly impossible to find a decent place to eat, which eventually forced us to pop into the neighbouring McDonald’s. You could say that I’m spoilt, but these days I simply have higher expectations when it comes to amusement parks. A trip to EuroPark is therefore only recommended if you’re determined to get those three credits at any cost. Anyone looking for top-quality attractions, great theming and/or fine entertainment should be giving this place a miss. In that case, you’ll definitely be better off at Leolandia or Gardaland, considerably better theme parks that are within a 30 and 90 minutes’ drive from Milan respectively.
