Atlantica in Cesenatico: the iconic water park of the Romagna Riviera

If you say “summer in Romagna,” you’re talking about the sea, piadina… and Atlantica. In Cesenatico, this historic water park has for decades been one of the cornerstones of summer holidays for families, young people, and tourists who choose the Riviera for their days of sun and fun. Opened in 1988, it continues to be an icon today—a mix of adrenaline, water games, and green spaces that delights both adults and children alike.

Slides and pools for everyone

The heart of Atlantica lies in its six large slides. Some prefer the toboggan slides, perfect for the little ones and for those who want a thrill without overdoing it; others go straight for the kamikaze and the steepest slides—the ones that make you scream from start to finish. And then there’s the wave pool, one of the first ever built in Italy, which remains one of the park’s most beloved attractions: an artificial sea that feels as exciting as the real one.

For children, the park is a safe haven: shallow pools, colorful games, and areas designed to let them play freely while parents relax and enjoy the day.

Not just water: relaxation and nature

Atlantica isn’t only about slides and splashes. What makes it special are its large lawns and shaded areas where visitors can sunbathe or enjoy a picnic. It’s the perfect place to alternate moments of pure fun with relaxing breaks. Plus, the on-site restaurants, bars, and refreshment areas make your stay easy and stress-free—in short, all you have to do is focus on having fun.

Opening hours and tickets

The park is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and offers several options:

• Daily admission: €19 for adults and €16 for children — with a great perk: you can re-enter for free the following day.
• Saturday Family Day: reduced rates (€13 adults, €10 children), valid only for that day.
• Tuesday Baby Day: one paying adult (€19) can bring one child under 12 for free.
• Season pass: €85 for adults and €75 for children (photo ID required).

Events and atmosphere

Every summer, Atlantica hosts themed parties, special days, and activities for children. This spirit of renewal—combined with the welcoming, carefree atmosphere of the Riviera—is what has made the park a timeless symbol of summer holidays in Romagna.

A classic of the Riviera

Just a short walk from downtown Cesenatico and easily reachable from anywhere along the coast, Atlantica is much more than a simple water park: it’s a place full of memories and traditions, capable of bringing back the energy and carefree joy of a true Romagna summer.
