After visiting Rome’s ancient monuments, museums and historic squares, you may want to do something completely different. If you enjoy roller coasters, fast rides and a little adrenaline, MagicLand is one of the most entertaining day trips from Rome.

MagicLand is not located inside Rome. It is a large amusement park in Valmontone, approximately 50 kilometres southeast of the city. It offers more than 40 attractions, roller coasters, children’s rides, water attractions and live entertainment.

IS MAGICLAND ROME WORTH VISITING?

Yes, if you are spending several days in Rome, travelling with children or simply want a break from museums and archaeological sites.

I would not dedicate an entire day to MagicLand during a first three-day trip to Rome. However, if you have four or more days, have already visited the major attractions or are returning to Rome, it can be a very enjoyable day trip.

My verdict: I visited MagicLand for my birthday and had a fantastic time. I would happily return, although I would avoid busy weekends whenever possible.

Book your MagicLand ticket before you go

MagicLand uses dynamic pricing, and online tickets are normally cheaper than buying at the entrance. An open-date ticket gives you more flexibility, although it may cost more than a ticket for a specific date.

👉 Check MagicLand ticket prices and availability

My Pretty Travels Tip: Compare the open-date ticket with the price for your intended visiting date. If your plans are fixed, a dated ticket may be the cheaper option.

MAGICLAND TICKETS AND PRICES

MagicLand uses dynamic pricing, so ticket prices vary according to the date, availability and promotion you select.

At the time of the latest update, the basic prices were:

Ticket or service Online At the entrance
Day ticket for visitors over 140 cm From €14.90 From €24.90
Children between 90 and 140 cm Free with the current online promotion From €9.90
Children under 90 cm Free Free
Family packages From €12.90 per person Not always available
Car parking €5.50 €7
Motorcycle parking — €3
Camper parking €8 €9

These prices can change without notice. The free online admission for children up to 140 centimetres is a promotion and should not be treated as a permanent policy.

Before purchasing, check whether the ticket is valid for a specific date, whether changes are permitted and whether it covers only MagicLand or also the neighbouring MagicSplash water park.

HOW TO GET TO MAGICLAND FROM ROME

MagicLand is located at Via della Pace, 00038 Valmontone. There is no metro connection directly to the park.

By car

Driving is the easiest and most flexible option, particularly for families or small groups.

From Rome, follow the A1 motorway towards Naples and take the Valmontone exit. The motorway exit is approximately two kilometres from MagicLand.

The journey from central Rome usually takes around 45–60 minutes, depending on traffic. The park has a large, almost entirely covered car park opposite the entrance.

My Pretty Travels Tip: Add parking when purchasing your ticket. It costs less online, and you will not have to arrange payment when you arrive.

By train and shuttle bus

You can take a regional train from Roma Termini to Valmontone station. The train journey normally takes approximately 40–50 minutes.

When the integrated service is available, search for Valmontone MagicLand as your final destination on Trenitalia. This allows you to purchase the train journey and the connecting bus to the park together.

The shuttle connections may be seasonal and do not necessarily operate with the same frequency throughout the year. Check the final return bus before leaving Rome, particularly on days when the park closes late.

If you purchase a train ticket only to Valmontone station, you will still need transportation for the final few kilometres to the park.

From Ciampino Airport

If you are staying near Ciampino or want to visit MagicLand after arriving, trains connect Ciampino railway station with Valmontone. Remember that Ciampino Airport and Ciampino railway station are not in the same location.

For all the available airport transport options, read my guide explaining how to get from Ciampino Airport to Rome.

THE BEST RIDES AT MAGICLAND

MagicLand is not designed only for young children. It has several intense attractions for teenagers and adults who enjoy adrenaline rides.

Shock

Shock is one of MagicLand’s best-known roller coasters. It accelerates rapidly and includes sudden changes of direction and inversions. The minimum height is 130 centimetres.

Mystika

Mystika is a free-fall tower measuring approximately 72 metres. It is one of the park’s most intense attractions and has a minimum height requirement of 140 centimetres.

Cagliostro

Cagliostro is an indoor spinning coaster. The ride takes place in darkness while the carriage rotates, making it difficult to predict the next turn.

Water rides

Yucatan, Le Rapide and the other water rides are particularly popular during summer. Expect to get wet and consider carrying a lightweight change of clothes.

Rides for younger children

The park also has gentler rides, children’s areas, themed attractions and live performances. Before promising a child a particular ride, check the height restrictions on the official park map.

MAGICLAND OPENING HOURS

MagicLand does not have the same opening hours every day and is not open daily throughout the year.

Depending on the date and season, the park may operate from:

  • 10:30–18:00
  • 11:00–18:00
  • 10:30–22:00
  • 10:30–24:00 during selected events

Access to the rides normally ends up to 30 minutes before the park closes. Water attractions may close earlier during late-night openings.

Always check the official MagicLand calendar before purchasing a ticket or arranging your transport.

WHAT IS THE BEST DAY TO VISIT MAGICLAND?

If possible, visit on a weekday outside school holidays. Weekends, public holidays and major special events normally attract larger crowds and longer queues.

During my visit, the waiting time for some rides reached approximately 45 minutes. If you visit on a busy day, go to the most popular roller coasters as soon as the park opens.

Halloween is one of the most popular periods, with themed attractions and evening events. Magic Christmas normally runs from November until early January. These periods offer more atmosphere and entertainment, but they also attract more visitors.

HOW LONG DO YOU NEED AT MAGICLAND?

Allow at least six hours inside the park, excluding transportation from and back to Rome. If you want to try most of the rides, watch a performance and stop for food, dedicate an entire day to the visit.

I would not combine MagicLand with another major Rome attraction. The journey to Valmontone and the return trip can easily turn the visit into a full-day excursion.

MAGICLAND OR MAGICSPLASH?

MagicSplash is the neighbouring water park and operates during the summer. It has swimming pools, a beach area, water slides and relaxation zones.

A standard MagicLand ticket does not necessarily include MagicSplash. Combined tickets for both parks may be available during summer, so check exactly what is included before paying.

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR VISITING MAGICLAND

  • Buy your ticket online. Online prices are normally lower.
  • Arrive when the park opens. You can experience the most popular rides before the queues grow.
  • Check children’s heights before deciding which rides to visit.
  • Wear comfortable shoes. You will spend a lot of time walking and standing.
  • Bring sunscreen and a hat. Summer temperatures can be intense.
  • Carry a change of clothes if you plan to use the water rides.
  • Check your return transport before leaving Rome.
  • Do not plan anything demanding for the same evening. The day can be exhausting.

The main mistake I made during my visit was underestimating the sun. The park closed at 18:00 that day, and I spent almost the entire day outdoors. The result was a rather unpleasant sunburn.

IS MAGICLAND SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?

Yes, but the number of rides a child can use depends mainly on their height rather than their age.

There are children’s areas and gentle rides, but several of the large roller coasters have minimum height requirements ranging from 120 to 140 centimetres. Check the official map before visiting, particularly if you are travelling with children of different ages.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MAGICLAND

Is MagicLand located in Rome?

No. MagicLand is located in Valmontone, approximately 50–55 kilometres southeast of Rome.

How much are MagicLand tickets?

MagicLand uses dynamic pricing. Dated online tickets can start from €14.90, while purchasing a ticket at the entrance normally costs more.

Are the rides included in the admission ticket?

Most standard rides and performances are included. Certain special experiences, services and seasonal attractions may require an additional payment.

Can you get to MagicLand by train?

Yes. Take a regional train from Roma Termini to Valmontone and then a connecting bus to the park. When available, search for the combined journey to “Valmontone MagicLand”.

Which day is least crowded?

Weekdays outside the Italian school holidays are normally the best option. Avoid weekends, public holidays and major themed events if shorter queues are your priority.

Is MagicLand worth visiting without children?

Yes, particularly if you enjoy fast roller coasters and adrenaline rides. Shock, Mystika and Cagliostro are aimed primarily at older children, teenagers and adults.

Is MagicLand included in the Roma Pass?

No. MagicLand is a private amusement park outside Rome and is not included in the Roma Pass or the standard public transport passes used in the city.

FINAL VERDICT

I would not place MagicLand above the Colosseum, Vatican Museums or Pantheon during a short first visit. However, it is a very good choice if you are staying longer, returning to Rome or travelling with children.

I had an extremely entertaining day and thought it was worth travelling to Valmontone. Arrange your ticket and transport in advance, visit on a weekday if possible and allow an entire day for the park.
