Scientific/futuristic park Oltremare
Scientific/futuristic park Oltremare/Rimini - Riccione; an amazing (underwater) world opens up in front of your eyes. This scientific 'amusement park' will keep children and adults alike fascinated for a number of hours, and is very educational as well. The scientific approach taken by Oltremare is an American idea, with the necessary creativity coming from the Italians. The park is sub-divided into a number of categories, which include 'planet earth', 'Darwin' and 'planet sea'. You'll encounter sharks here, along with dinosaurs, strange seahorses and the very special IMAX, a futuristic cinema showing three dimensional films. Don't miss it! Note: only suitable for full day excursion.
San Marino
San Marino is 20 miles from Cesenatico, and with its 61 sqkm and its 26,000 inhabitants it is one of the smallest states of the world. It is situated on and around a 750 metres high hill, only 10 miles from Rimini. In whatever part of the territory you go, in particular at the peak of its mountain, your gaze is lost over a unique, dazzling panorama: the fertile soils of Emilia Romagna, the soft rolling hills of the Marche, Montefeltro and on into the calm Adriatic sea. With it's capital high up in the hill, San Marino is a place rich in history and modern hospitality. A day, or half day trip takes you along museums, ancient forts and palaces, immersed in a fairy tale world.
Funpark Atlantica
Funpark Atlantica in Cesenatico is a salt water park! Everyone must try the spectacular slides in the waterfunpark. How about 'bobsleighing' on a slope of initially 70% and gliding like a stone on water? Or gently slide on the 'Water Toboggan' into the swimming pool? Or try the 'Kamikaze', a very steep and fast slide where you go down with a speed of around 45 mph. When you're tired take a rest in one of the many beds around the main swimmingpool and jump in when it starts its waves. In this park you can have fun the whole day or either part of it.
