The waterpark has been closed through the winter months, but from May 31, 2025, has started to welcome visitors back to the pools and flumes.

The water park has taken a lot from the parks, including its own Italian Miniland.

The recognisable Miniland is the heart of every Legoland Park where visitors can see the most iconic landmarks from across the world.
Gardaland water park also has its own lazy river called the River Adventure, a slow-moving river.
Visitors can bob down the slow-moving water attraction on a dinghy customised with Lego bricks.
From there, you can actually see Miniland depicting Italy and spot a Lego-brick built Colosseum, Tower of Pisa, Basilica and Bell Tower of St. Mark's Square.

One Sun Travel Writer Had The "Best Family Holiday
Maria Realf visited Garaland with her family - and it's safe to say she had an incredible holiday...
As the ride began to climb, the two views before me were dramatically different.
To my right, the serene turquoise waters of Italy's Lake Garda. On my left? A steep drop and a double loop-the-loop.
I'd stumbled across Gardaland in spring while trying to book a last-minute trip to Disneyland Paris. Don't get me wrong, I love a Disney park — but this time, faced with high prices and the possibility of French strike disruption, I decided to take a chance on somewhere new. The result? One of the best family breaks we've ever had.
On arrival, the next pleasant surprise was the lack of long queues. Most waits were 10-20 minutes. But while the resort might have been short on queues, it's certainly not short of fun.
There's plenty for all ages here, from Fantasy Kingdom and a small Peppa Pig Land for little ones, to adventure attractions including the latest Jumanji ride and white-knuckle thrills galore. My personal picks were epic log flume Fuga da Atlantide and the Mammut coaster, which reminded us of Disney's popular Big Thunder Mountain.
During the warm summer months until mid-September, guests can also cool off at Legoland Water Park — a 15,000-square-metre area within Gardaland.
Explore the Lego River Adventure with its floating rafts, the Beach Party packed with slides, or the Duplo Splash zone for younger visitors. If all that has worked up your appetite, there are lots of places to eat dotted around, from sit-down restaurants to takeaway kiosks -

Five top Tipperary events to visit for National Heritage Week
From exploring old tales in Cahir Castle, folklore stories for grown-ups only, a Lego competition in Roscrea, and an ebike tour of medieval monasteries, history aficionados are spoilt for a choice, with 92 events up and down Tipperary celebrating local history. There's still time to book and enjoy these events before the end of the week so take a quick peek at the top five remaining experiences to enjoy. Petticoat Loose Petticoat Loose is a fascinating community film project on Friday, August 22, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm, and from 8.45pm to 9.45pm, in the audio-visual room of Cahir Castle. The story of 'Petticoat Loose' is well known to people in south-west Tipperary. A local woman, as punishment for her misbehaviours, Petticoat Loose, was condemned to drain Baylough, in the heart of the Knockmealdown Mountains, with a thimble. 'Two years ago, this legend was the subject of a community film project which was commissioned by the Clonmel Busking Festival,' said an organiser. 'Although there is no charge for admission, we ask patrons to book online or by phone.' Get in touch with the Cahir Social and Historical Society at 0868372154 or email Folklorist Eddie Lenihan Lovers of old stories and tales can enjoy an afternoon with Eddie Lenihan - renowned storyteller, folklorist and national treasure, at Carrick-on-Suir Library, on Thursday, August 21, at 2pm. Contact Carrick-on-Suir Library on 052 616 6041 as booking is essential. This event is adult themed and not suitable for younger audiences. To book contact the Sean Healy Memorial Library, Fairgreen, Carrick-On-Suir, at 052 616 6041 or email carricklibrary@ Dig Where We Stand 'Dig Where We Stand' is a one-day exhibition taking place in Clonoulty Community Garden for Heritage Week 2025, on Wednesday, August 20, from 2pm to 5pm. It is a celebration of the soil beneath our feet and community infrastructures. The exhibition showcases the foundations, journey and outcomes of a collaborative project which developed a community garden in the village of Clonoulty. Over four years, local artist Aoife Barret worked with residents of Clonoulty, using the community garden and our native ecosystems and plants as both a starting point for conversation and a source for artmaking. This ongoing project explores the power of collective gardening in nurturing and strengthening community foundations. Working with local artist and curator Aideen Quirke, 'Dig Where We Stand' compiles a reflective archive to explore the development of this community-run green space. Five themes map the ecosystems that feed collaborative community practice and nourish community spaces: Relationships, Local, Infrastructure, Rebuilding, and Space. During the event, community members are invited to respond to the themes of the archive. Through participation, 'Dig Where We Stand' becomes a site of further connection and a catalyst for questioning and collaborative making. Following the event, the archive is housed in a community library box to inform our future participative projects. To visit, contact Print Van Go at 0851684654 or email printvango@ Ebike tour of historic churches An ebike tour of the historic churches of Killodiernan and Monsea Parishes will take place on Saturday, August 23, from 10.30am to 1.30pm. The start point is in Dromineer near the bus stop car park (E45 D785). Explore the quiet back roads of North Tipperary by ebike, calling in at four of the ancient churches of the Killodiernan and Monsea parish. A guest from the Ormond Historical Society will give a short talk on the history of the churches and stories associated with them, and the group will have the opportunity to wander around the ruined buildings and explore the churchyards. 'At last year's similar event we enjoyed lively discussions, and some of the group were enthused to come back to visit the sites again afterwards," said an organiser. 'This tour showcases the beauty of the Tipperary countryside, tracking along the old lanes connecting the ancient sacred sites, which were once at the very heart of the communities they served, and are now havens of peace and quiet. A great way to learn more about the history of the area while enjoying the scenery.' The tour involves around 90 minutes of ebiking, but this includes plenty of breaks and there will be plenty of opportunities to pause and admire the view. The pace of cycling will be suited to the group, and it is suitable for anyone with a moderate level of fitness. Under 18s are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Event is free of charge to participants, and is funded by Tipperary County Council.

Lesser visited ‘hidden gem' English beach where you can spot dolphins and find dinosaur fossils
Plus, what you need to know about taking fossils away from the beach BEACH PLEASE Lesser visited 'hidden gem' English beach where you can spot dolphins and find dinosaur fossils THE UK isn't short of beautiful beaches - but one historic spot boasts more than breathtaking views. Dorset might be a super popular tourist destination, but Monmouth Beach is a 'hidden gem', according to Dorset & Devon Holiday Cottages. 4 Monmouth Beach in Dorset is mostly made of pebbles, with some sand 4 However, when the tide washes out it is the ideal spot for fossil hunting Advertisement Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here Located just a five to 10-minute walk from Lyme Regis, Monmouth Beach features a mix of pebbles and sand and stretches around a mile from the seaside town's harbour. Gemma Matthews, owner of Dorset & Devon Holiday Cottages, said: "It's easy for people to overlook Monmouth Beach and head straight to the busier Lyme Regis beaches slightly further along the coast, especially as it is a pebble beach. "However, holidaymakers shouldn't judge it based on its pebbles alone – the beach has so much to offer." Advertisement Read more on travel inspo SHOW BOAT I tried new Omaze-style draw for superyacht holidays & lived like a billionaire Known for being the home of the Jurassic Coast, Dorset beaches often boast many prehistoric finds, and this doesn't stop with Monmouth Beach. According to TripAdvisor reviews, many visitors love the beach's "breathtaking views". Gemma added: "If you're into history and adventure, a fossil hunt is a great way to spend the day at the beach. "Monmouth is the perfect place to find small ammonites and plant fossils; some have even found evidence of other prehistoric creatures! Advertisement Many of the fossils on the one-mile beach come from Ware Cliffs next to it, which date back 200 million years. At low tide, visitors can find a layer of limestone at the far end of the beach, which is known as the 'ammonite graveyard' or 'ammonite pavement'. UK beach named one of the top 100 in the world Here, you will be able to find hundreds of large ammonites exposed in the rocks. And you might just be lucky enough to see some live sea creatures at the beach as well. "Chippel Bay, the stretch of water just off its shore, is frequently visited by seals and dolphins, which are always a special sight. Advertisement "If you're looking for a more relaxing time, the beach is dog-friendly all year-round, perfect for walking your four-legged friend whilst taking in the stunning views of the Jurassic Coast, especially at sunset," she continued. To the west of the beach, is the Cobb - a historic harbour wall and breakwater that protects Lyme Regis from flooding. There is also a car park with direct beach access, with toilets as well. 4 And if you are lucky, you will see live sea creatures as well There are plenty of places to stay in the area too, with the beach being close to Lyme Regis and also within a 20-minute drive of landmarks like Cannington Viaduct and Rousdon Cliffs. Advertisement Monmouth Beach is named after the Duke of Monmouth, who landed on the beach in 1685 in a failed attempt to overthrow his uncle, King James II. Following the attempt, 12 local people were hanged on the beach as a warning. However, later in the mid-18th century, the beach became a popular bathing spot, with visits from famous figures including Jane Austen, who wrote Persuasion after a visit in 1803. Then, in 1903, the construction of the railway meant Lyme Regis was more accessible and increasing numbers of tourists flooded to the town. Can you get fined for taking fossils home? WHILE some fossil hunters will simply choose to look and not touch, there will be others who will want to take their treasures home. The rules surrounding fossils are a little grey, with holidaymakers needing to do their own research because every area is different. According to the Natural History Museum, holidaymakers will need to make sure they have the "appropriate permission and access rights" to take fossils home. For example, some areas are Sites of Special Scientific Interest, which may have extra restrictions. Guidance on the Natural History Museum website states: "Always look up and follow the rules for the specific areas you visit or those imposed by owners or controllers, which can include obtaining permission to access and collect in the area, avoiding disturbing wildlife, and recording what you found and where. In some places you can look but mustn't collect anything." A Dorset local has also shared her top spots to visit across the county.

Beautiful Croatian hilltop village that was used as a dupe for city of Nottingham in the Robin Hood movie
ON the beautiful Istria peninsula is a tiny cobbled village that has doubled as the UK city of Nottingham. An hour away from the Croatian city of Pula is the pretty village of Završje, it sits on a hilltop, has winding streets and stone houses with terracotta rooftops. 5 Završje sits on a hilltop on the Istria peninsula Credit: Alamy 5 The village appeared in the 2018 adaptation of Robin Hood Credit: Alamy There are plenty of pretty hidden gems on the Istria peninsula, one of them being the Završje. The village is tiny, with the last population consensus in 2021 revealing that just 39 people lived there. More people might have seen it than first thought though, as in 2018 it appeared in a blockbuster movie. Završje stood in for 12th century Nottingham in the Robin Hood film starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx and Eve Hewson. The town's medieval look made it the ideal backdrop for the movie's scenes and were used for the end battle between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Završje has its very own leaning tower - the church tower is 22 metres tall and leans about 40cm because of the unstable ground it was built on. Once you've had a walk around the tiny village, there's plenty more to do in Istria - the heart-shaped peninsula boasts incredible beaches, cities and historical sites. Its Ancient Roman buildings have led to many comparisons with Italy, and the city of Pula's Roman amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world. It's also one of the best-preserved in the world with its outer walls and four side towers mostly intact. Tickets for entry to the Arena can be purchased at the main entrance - adults are €10 (£8.64) and students are €5 (£4.32). The sun-soaked Croatian island that's a secret a celeb hot spot 5 Pula's Roman amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world Credit: Alamy 5 There are plenty of beautiful beaches on the peninsula Credit: Getty The best beaches on Tripadvisor in Istria include Fazana Beach, Cuvi Beach and Mulini Beach. One of the top attractions is the Punta Kamenjak National Park where you can go swimming and snorkelling. Essential spots to see include the Old Town, Baredine Cave, Port of Rovinj and Church of St Euphemia. Istria is also home to Croatia's largest waterpark Aquapark Porec Aquacolors. It boasts several huge waterslides, including the Freefall, a 48-metre long drop and Turbolance which features a steep drop, reverses and a splash pool, all while taking "crazy photos" of riders. However, there are also calmer rides for youngsters including family rafting slides. The park has a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award due to the number of positive ratings it has received. One visitor wrote: "Awesome place, so much fun and adrenaline. Would come again, definitely! Make sure you arrive early because there is so many slides you will want to try." Another person added: "The children's area was amazing! Our kids loved it!" You can fly direct from the UK to Pula Airport in just over two hours. Flights are with easyJet and Ryanair and start from £31. Discover more on Croatia including its largest island which has hilltop towns, sandy beaches and it's own airport.
