Twenty kilometers from Milan, nestled in the Como countryside, Iagolandia has turned into a real Halloween set again this year. For just a few more days, the playground dedicated to dogs welcomes visitors with spooky decorations, giant pumpkins, cobwebs and theatrical sets, all designed to entertain the four-legged (and their humans).
The atmosphere is more like a dark fairy tale or a Tim Burton movie than just an event: a mix of amusement park and gothic movie, where every corner hides a surprise.
The Halloween theme park for dogs (and curious humans)
Throughout the Halloween period, Iagolandia becomes a theme village where every activity is designed for the dog-human couple. It’s not just about scenery: sensory trails, play areas and skill tests have been reinvented with a “monstrous” twist.
Saturday, Nov. 1 and Sunday, Nov. 2, will be the last weekend to see the themed set-up and enjoy family fun with your four-legged companion.
Carved pumpkins, fake crows, sound effects and soft lighting create an experience that makes you smile rather than scare. It is the perfect opportunity to take unforgettable photos and experience an out-of-the-ordinary day with your dog.
The “Organ Hunt”: the craziest game of Halloween
Among this year’s best-loved attractions is the Organ Hunt, a step-by-step trail designed for the most curious dogs (and owners with a sense of humor).
The idea stems from a joking legend: Dr. Iago allegedly lost his “organs” in the park and needs the help of visitors to find them.
The dogs have to sniff, search and bring back objects hidden in different areas of the park. Don’t worry: it’s all a big game, including sniff tests, hayrides and small rewards.
A unique pet-friendly experience in Italy, just a few miles from Milan
It’s not just a Halloween event: Iagolandia is one of the first parks in Italy entirely designed for dogs, with dedicated games, pools and relaxation areas.
During the Halloween set-up, even the facilities are tinged with orange: themed bowls, photo corners and food stands for humans and animals.
The park’s goal remains to encourage dog play and socialization in a safe and natural environment, adding – on this occasion – a touch of seasonal magic.
Last call: only until Nov. 2
The set-up for the scariest party of the year will remain open to visitors only until Saturday, Nov. 2, after which the park will return to its usual appearance.
To participate in the activities or the “Organ Hunt,” reservations must be made via WhatsApp at 392.5425057.
Those looking for a different experience from the usual, just minutes from Milan, still have one more weekend to experience a truly unforgettable Halloween on all fours.
