10 Best Aerial Adventure Parks in Sicily
If you want to have fun for an hour or perhaps a day, then an adventure park is sure to deliver. There are many adventure parks in Sicily located all across the island. Most offer similar things, but they have their differences.
Before I cover each in some more detail, I’m going to cover some useful information. Here is a handy map of where they are located. The map should help you figure out which ones are closest to the areas you are going to visit.
The good thing about these adventure parks in Sicily is that they also cater for toddlers. Sometimes they cater for ages 2 and older and sometimes from 3 years plus. The trails for toddlers are called baby areas where they have an hour or more to enjoy climbing up and down.
These adventure parks do not just have aerial trails, but they also have other activities at the park. Some of them have archery, mountain bike trails and zip lines. While other adventure parks have some more unique activities.
10 Best Aerial Adventure Parks in Sicily
If you intend to visit one of these adventure parks, please get in touch with them in advance and book before you visit. Additionally the parks will also not let you enter if you arrive too late in the day. So if you intend to visit the park late afternoon or evening, you should check until what time they accept new visitors.
Now here is the top list of the best aerial adventure parks in Sicily according to reviews.
Prices of Adventure Parks in Sicily
Aerial Acrobatic Trails
The baby areas for toddlers range in price from €5 – 10. Usually toddlers have between 1-2 hours to use this area depending on the park.
The only ones that are different are the Parcallario Buccheri in the province of Syracuse and Bosco D’Alcamo in the province of Trapani. At the Parcallario you can let your toddlers play for 1 hour for €5 or a full day for €20. On the other hand at Bosco D’Alcamo you can pay €15 for 3 hours or €26 for a full day.
Kids prices across all parks range from €8 – 18. However older kids that are over a certain height can also experience the adult trails. Adults trails range from €15 – 36.
With kids and adults there is quite big price difference between the different parks. Usually the parks give you maximum of 1 – 2 hours and the price is at the lower end. However, some parks give you the option to stay for 3 hours or even a day and hence they charge a higher rate.
If you want to spend more time at an adventure park in Sicily, then older kids and adults have a few options. Parco Avventura Etna (Milo), Pozzillo Avventura or Bosco D’Alcamo cater for sessions of 3 hours. Parco Avventura Etna costs between €23-25 for a maximum of 3 and a half hours. Pozzillo Avventura costs €18 and Bosco D’Alcamo costs €22.
Similarly to the baby areas, for full days you can opt for the Parcallario Buccheri or Bosco D’Alcamo. Parcallario Buccheri will cost between €25-28 and Bosco D’Alcamo will cost €36.
Other Fees and Activities
Most adventure parks allow free entry and then charge you for any activity you chose to do. On the other hand, some may charge a small entry fee which is charged on a per person basis.
Each activity you do at all adventure parks in Sicily is at an extra charge. However sometimes you can get discounted rates if you do more than one activity.
Most have a cafe or restaurant, but you may want to take your own food and have a picnic. Most adventure parks in Sicily have a picnic area with tables. So you may want to get some ideas of what to take with you on your picnic here.
