Just 15 minutes from downtown, behind Linate Airport, there’s an amusement park that has grown in height over the past few months: today,Europark Milano spans three levels, featuring a go-kart track suspended above the rides—which the park describes as the only fully elevated one of its kind in the world.
Those who grew up here still call it “the Idroscalo amusement park, ” a place that turned 60 last year : Sunday outings, first evenings with friends, the smell of cotton candy on the Rivoltana. It’s different now, but admission is still free, so it’s up to you whether to just go in for a quick stroll or ride all the rides.
And there’s news that changes the season’s plans: starting in early June, it’s open every day again.
The elevated go-kart track (and why it’s the new attraction no one’s talking about yet)
The highlight of the Segrate amusement park is a go-kart track that, according to the park, is the only one in the world that is completely elevated: it runs entirely above the other attractions, beneath the large tensile structure that covers the area. In winter, it is enclosed with tarps and becomes an indoor track; in summer, it is uncovered again.
The numbers tell the story: 408,000 kg of iron, 200,000 nuts and bolts, 800 cubic meters of concrete, all designed by the in-house technical staff. Since it’s at a high elevation, there’s no track-side viewing area for the public: those staying on the ground follow the races on a giant LED screen at the entrance, fed by cameras positioned at key points along the track.
Access is through the new “Las Vegas” façade, which also houses a KFC.
Rare roller coasters on the way and the Horror House becoming “two-in-one”
For those seeking adrenaline, Europark’s attractions don’t stop at the roughly 30-meter-tall tower (the Star Flight, formerly Condor, recently renovated) or the Super Frisbee. In front of the Horror House, starting this year there will be a unique roller coaster: a Pinfari Zyclon purchased from a fairground in Izmir, Turkey—a collector’s item, since there are only two of them in the world.
The Horror House, meanwhile, has been demolished and rebuilt from scratch with a new concept: two attractions in one, according to the park. Near the Flume Ride there will be a new “Ranger”-style carousel, while the Night Flight, imported from Switzerland, has taken the place of the old go-kart track.
In recent months, Europark dell’Idroscalo has been a constant construction site, and part of its charm lies precisely in that.
Open every evening and featuring live shows: the perfect plan for summer
Here’s the part that’s most interesting for those in Milan looking for something different to do in the evening. Starting in June, Europark is open every day, with a lineup designed for summer: highlights this month include the Winx Crew Live Show on June 7 and the Notti Rosa on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, featuring music, street food, and live performances.
The park is focusing heavily on entertainment and shows—the mascot Lunello, characters wandering among the rides, and a cast of performers for the entire 2026 season. It works well both for an evening out with friends and as a place to take kids in Milan, and you decide how much to spend: a couple of rides or the all-access wristband.
Prices, wristbands, hours, and days of operation
Admission to the park is free. To ride the attractions, you have two options: pay for each ride individually, with prices ranging from €1.50 to €5 depending on the ride (average €3–4), or purchase an unlimited wristband at the central ticket booths.
Wristband prices vary depending on the day and the person’s height. On weekends, holidays, and the day before a holiday: €25 for adults and children over 130 cm, €16 for those under 130 cm, €13 for those under 100 cm. On Friday evenings , the wristband for adults over 130 cm drops to €18.
Keep an eye out for the online wristbands: they’re only valid on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and can be used starting the day after purchase.
