Aquasplash, located in Lignano Sabbiadoro, is a sprawling water park that promises fun for all ages. Spanning an impressive 35,000 square meters, this aquatic paradise features a diverse array of attractions including pools of various shapes and sizes, thrilling slides like the black hole and kamikaze, as well as relaxing whirlpools and artificial wave pools.
Fantastic variety of different slides. U do have to b patient and queue up for slides in high season but we went in early July and hardly had to queue at all. A gr8 day out.

I gave it 3 stars as the kids enjoyed it. But I wouldn’t leave more than one star. The place is pricey, for the offering, rude employees and I suggest to come prepared with picnic blankets, snacks and water. What annoyed me very much is that the Wave Pool is turned on only once a day at 4 pm, which is very strange, everywhere we’ve been it was on every 15 to 30 min. Anyway, I wouldn’t go back there.

In comparison with other aqua parks in other countries this one is not good enough. 30 euro a day, but there is nothing to do in 2 hours. Boring, overcrowded, overpriced.

Very important. After 14.00 it's 24 euro instead 30, which is not up to the mark.. but 4 o'clock there was pool party,that was the best part.

Very bad Customer Service. We (7 people) went in the afternoon at 2:45 pm as 4 hrs are more than enough to go in all attractions. However, they closed the park due to rain at 3:30 pm. We could hardly enjoy the park. The lady at the front desk was very unfriendly when l asked her for a solution, perhaps giving us 3-4 passes to go on another afternoon. She simply say NO, she didn’t feel empathy nor gave us a solution. I believe she could have warned us about the closing of the park when we arrived at 2:45 pm. We go every year but we will think twice to go again.

Fun place, lots of slides & attractions, enough to stay all day. Good choice of stuff to do from 6-7yr old up. Bit pricey though (€108 for a family), and could do with a few more trees for shade & a bigger central pool area. Well-organised & run. Didn't get food there as it looked like standard overpriced themepark-type fare.
Christopher T — Google review
It's a good place for a family outing, I recommend buying the tickets online will save you the waiting and quick entry, food and drinks are pricey inside, so it is better to prepare and bring your own food and drinks with you,

Water & Amusement Parks
Parco Junior in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy is a popular amusement park offering an enjoyable experience for both kids and adults. Situated in the city center, it features a range of thrilling rides, games, and entertainment options. Visitors can purchase tokens for the attractions or opt for a day pass to make the most of their visit. The park also includes a 4D cinema with various short films, making it a great place to spend time with children.
The restaurant staffs at the park we visited were exceptional! They were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I particularly enjoyed the cheeseburger. The burgers are beautifully cooked, and you can see the brilliant, coarse ground meat. The buns are sturdy and well proportioned, glossy and sweetened. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the decor. The family park is a fantastic destination for families to spend quality time together.The tickets are cheap and affordable .

Very nice kids park with many different attractions for different ages. Entry is free but each attraction costs at least one coin and one coin is at least 1-3 euros, depending on how many you buy at once. You can also buy a whole day ticket but it is also expensive for the whole family. One attraction is around 3-5 minutes long. But all looked nice, but the octopus was really dirty
Patrik P — Google review
I recently visited Parco Junior with my daughter—actually, we went twice! We rode every ride and played every single game they had to offer. It was such a fun experience. The park itself is clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained, with convenient bathrooms and all the essentials you’d hope for. We had a truly wonderful time together and made some great memories. That said, I do wish they offered more games and attractions. A few of them were closed during our visits, which was a little disappointing. Maybe it’s because the season is winding down—it was September after all. Still, having more rides and open venues would have made the experience even better. Overall, Parco Jr. is a charming little park that gave us a delightful day out. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend it for families, and I hope to see even more activities available next season!
Inkahustler — Google review
Great value for money, I'd recommend it rather for smaller kids (3-7) since the rides are not very intense. Do not buy coins buy the card for the whole day and ride anything you want so many times you want. No entry fee, opened from 10:30 am till 10 pm. Also we didn't have to wait at all

Great day trip event we were there already few times and it’s like a must have every time we visit Italy. Several attractions can be used and everything looks save and sound on it. Restaurant is on a good pricing and not to expensive. Whatever they do in the burger it’s very delicious. We never saw the animation show, but we saw the participants train their skills in the park walking thru the crowd and I think it’s also good for the little ones.
Enrico ( — Google review
The park is really great for younger kids. All the machines are made so that younger kids can also ride them so they were perfect for our 2 and 4 year old kids. The parking is also free if you validate your card at the ticket desk .
Niko A — Google review
Great place for our 6-year-old son for about 2 hours. We bought 13 coins for €26. One attraction is 1 coin. Our son tried all the attractions alone. 1 negative point: the parking area was full although there were few people in the Park (11:30-1:30). Clearly it is allowed for anyone to leave their car in their own parking lot, the attendant does not care. Also there is a height limit, a car with roof box cannot go in (the area is not covered, so we did not understand why there is such a limitation).

Seafood restaurant
Situated in a desirable location, amidst the picturesque waters of the Lagoon of Marano, Pizzeria Ristorante Al Faro has undergone a complete renovation. It is a charming and family-operated establishment that strikes a balance between excellence and the search for quality ingredients. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it an ideal meeting spot. A recent visitor described their experience as pleasant, pointing out that despite being off-season, there were few patrons present.
Looking for "THE BEST IN SEAFOOD"? That is your place. Friendly family atmosphere with really great seafood and reasonable prices.

I had no reservation on a Thursday evening, but gave it a try, asking for a table for one. The waitress said they had nothing available, which is alright. But they could have asked whether I can return in one hour or two, or maybe I wanted a reservation for the next day. But why the effort for one customer?

We dared to stand in a long line and did not regret it! Btw, while we were in line, an employee of the establishment came up to us, gave the children coloring pages and other gifts, thereby encouraging us not to give up and visit them anyway. Atmosphere, service, delicious food - that's why it's worth going here! The prices are affordable, the portions are very large (we didn't expect such large portions, we ordered for each separately, it was worth one portion for two). All the time we were treated to something (children with various sweets, adults - alcoholic beverages). It was cool! But in the end, be prepared to pay a larger amount than you ordered, the check indicates an additional amount for service.

We come to Croce del Sud every year when we’re in Lignano – it’s our go-to spot for dinner almost every night. The food is great, the atmosphere is lovely, and the staff is friendly. A couple of times they forgot to bring a dish, but that doesn’t change our overall experience. We always enjoy coming back!
Milan K — Google review
Came for the pizza, stayed because my taste buds refused to leave. Croce del Sud serves food so good it should be illegal. Staff were friendlier than my own family, and the seafood pasta almost made me propose to the chef. 10/10, would sell a kidney to eat here again. Waiting times: This depends on the season and time of arrival. High Season: Arrive earlier (18-19:00) if you don't want to wait for a table, which can take up to 30 mins or more Low Season: Very low chances of having to wait for a table. Play it smart.

Every evening we saw a huge line outside this restaurant, so we decided to try it for lunch instead, with high expectations. Very disappointing. The carbonara was not authentic at all – far too creamy and without any egg flavor. The staff was polite, but the service felt impersonal. At the end, they brought a bowl of gummy candies, which felt completely out of place. The plate was chipped and the cutlery scratched, which ruined the impression. The ambience is nice and refined. Overall, the food was nothing special, and there are plenty of much better restaurants nearby.

Beautiful view, lovely relaxing atmosphere and well trained staff! Food is slightly short of excellent but still pretty good for a provincial place. Make sure to sit outside and enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Order the Friulano house wine if you feel like a good wine that goes well with both seafood and pasta. Recommended dessert is the 3 semifredi. Pretty good. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Mandi - Parentesi Friulana is a standout establishment in the bustling tourist hub of Lignano Sabbiadoro, replete with inexpensive dining options. The cuisine at this gem is truly exceptional, no matter what delectable dish you decide upon from their meticulously crafted menu. The ambiance exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the service provided by the attentive staff is of the highest caliber. It is truly remarkable to stumble upon such an extraordinary dining experience in Lignano.
We had lunch with a group and they were perfect: we were served perfectly on time and the food was delicious. The wine selection we were presented with was also very good. The restaurant is very stylish and yet has a very local flavour also in the interior decoration. We particularly appreciated the fact that the restaurant was created by two very smart and very kind young twins, and that when we asked to take a group photo, they called out all the staff from the kichen. So a very ethically minded business and great quality. Important addition to an overall 5 star review: they have a portable ramp they put out to allow customers with wheelchairs to enter the restaurant, and an accessible bathroom, albeit a little small.

Corso Udine 21 is a charming Italian bar located in a bustling walking area. It offers a variety of delicious dishes such as carbonara and fried calamari, which come highly recommended. The atmosphere is pleasant, with limited seating both inside and outside on high bar tables with high chairs. In addition to the tasty food, the bar serves typical Italian beverages like espresso, wine, and aperol spritz. Customers can enjoy conversations about various topics while feeling the authentic Italian style of relaxation.
Super good food and fast served, especially given how we were a party of 10. Friendly and patient staff, lovely atmosphere though we do recommend getting a table outside. Also, the spaghetti aglio e oglio are super good, as well as the carbonara and cacio e Pepe, and amatriciana, hehe. The portions are very big. We paid 114€ for 10 people, super good quality price ratio.

Visited in August 2023. 2 families (6 people). We ate spaghetti (carbonara, pesto with shrimp, caccio e Pepe and fried calamari with some delicious chips) and drinks. Total cost around 125 Euro.

Not a huge place. Limited seats inside and outside seats are high bar tables with high chairs.

I don't reccommend this place at all. The food is great quality, but the service is terrible. After a few tries we could finally order and then waited more than one hour for our food and they didn't say anything. Usually they give free parmesan in the restaurants but here they don't. Also they gave us a used plate with tomato stains for the shells.
