Farm animals meet bumper rides outside Bologna. Luna Farm Amusement Park is a family stop just outside Bologna, with 14 attractions built for kids and adults who still like to play. I especially like the farm-village theme with animal characters like Gianni and the fun, slightly silly ride energy (plus games and VR to break up the action). I also like that your entry covers most attractions, so you’re not constantly paying again. One thing to consider: VR-Box and Labirintolo cost extra, so plan a little wiggle room if your kids want those too.

What makes this feel practical is the setting. It’s described as partly indoors and just a few kilometers from the center of Bologna, which helps when you’re balancing a day in the city with family downtime. If you’ve got very small kids, note the rules: children under 90 cm are free and can enter without a ticket because they can’t use attractions, and pregnant women are free but also can’t ride.

For money, $14 per person can be a good deal if you treat it like a half-day-to-all-day play zone. You’ll likely spend more time than you planned because there are rides plus video games and VR, along with a shop for souvenirs and snacks for recharging.

Key highlights worth planning for

• 14 attractions in total, with most included in your entry
• Animal mascots like Gianni, Penelope the Pig, Valentino the Bull, Richy the Rooster, and Martina the Bee
• A mix of ride fun and digital play with video games and VR areas
• Two paid extras (Vr-Box and Labirintolo) if you want to level up
• Special day on Dec 30 with Santa Claus house and Lucilla
• Friday openings at 4 pm, which can shape your Bologna day plan

A farm-themed park right by Bologna

Luna Farm is set up like a playful animal-farm world. You’re not walking through a big “rides only” amusement park; you’re moving through a themed place with a peasant-village vibe, animal-enclosure style spaces, and characters that make the whole day feel like a story. Even the attraction names feel like they’re part of the same world, from honey-focused fun to hay-jump energy.

The location is also the kind that fits real family travel. It’s in Emilia-Romagna and positioned just outside Bologna, described as partly indoors and only a few kilometers from the city center. That matters because it gives you options: you can do Bologna earlier, then come out for a family-first afternoon, or you can use Luna Farm as your main activity when you don’t want to fight a crowd.

The park’s identity is very kid-friendly: it’s built around animal mascots and fun rides that rotate, jump, and fly. That’s the sort of mix that helps different personalities in the same group. One child wants thrills, another wants games, and everyone can keep moving through the same theme instead of splitting up into different attractions around town.

Price and what your $14 ticket actually covers

Your family entry ticket is listed at $14 per person. The key value piece is that it includes 12 attractions aimed at children, families, and anyone who wants to play along.

Those included attractions are:

• Cocò Dance
• Formula Farm
• Fuga dal Mulino
• GianniBus
• Giramisù
• Giromiele
• La Fabbrica del miele
• Maiali Volanti
• Riciclondolo
• Salta Fieno
• SpaventaCorvi
• ToroScontro

Two attractions are explicitly not included:

• Vr-Box
• Labirintolo

So your decision is simple. If your kids are mainly into “ride-and-go,” you can stick with what’s included and feel like the ticket price covers the day. If they’re VR-obsessed or maze-hungry, you can add those two paid attractions and still know what you’re budgeting for up front.

Also, the ticket is valid for 1 day, and there are starting times you can check based on availability. In other words, it’s not tied to a specific hard time in the way some timed-entry attractions are, but you should still look at the available start times so you don’t waste your trip day.

Getting the most out of 12 attractions without rushing

Luna Farm doesn’t give you one rigid “tour route,” so I think the smart way to enjoy it is to treat it like a themed circuit. Use the farm characters as your guide: start with rides and mascot-style attractions, then shift to video games/VR, then come back for another round on your favorites.

Here’s a practical pace you can use for a calm family day:

Start with motion rides early

Many of the park’s rides are described as rotating, jumping, and flying. Those are exactly the kinds of attractions kids often enjoy most when they’re fresh. Pick a few included rides right away while energy is high.

Then mix in the games/VR break

The park includes video games and VR areas. Even if you don’t plan to pay for Vr-Box, the fact that there are game-style distractions means you can cool down without leaving the theme of the day.

End with the attractions your kids can’t stop replaying

Because you have 12 included attractions, you can afford to repeat a couple if your child locks onto one ride. That’s one reason the day feels better than a shorter attraction list—you’re not constantly counting how many left.

Now, let’s translate the included attraction names into what you can expect in terms of theme and feel.

The included attractions: what each one adds to the day

I like that these 12 attractions feel like different “mini worlds” inside the same farm story. They aren’t just random rides; they’re named to match the theme, from honey to farm chaos to food-like wordplay.

Cocò Dance

A dance-themed attraction gives you a change of pace from purely physical rides. It’s the kind of stop that often works well for kids who like rhythm and movement, and it fits the park’s animal-farm character approach.

Formula Farm

This one sounds like a go-kart or racing-inspired concept wrapped in farm humor. If your child likes speed, pretend-racing, or “competition games,” it’s likely the sort of attraction that keeps them engaged without needing complicated explanations.

Fuga dal Mulino

The name points to an escape-from-the-mill style adventure. This tends to be the type of attraction families enjoy because it feels like a mini story rather than just a single moment ride.

GianniBus

GianniBus is a direct nod to the park’s mascot world—Gianni the countryman. Even if you’re not sure how the ride works before you arrive, the name signals that you’ll get a themed experience tied to the characters.

Giramisù

Yes, it uses the name of one of Italy’s most famous desserts, but in a playful farm setting. This is the kind of attraction that makes the day feel more Italian-fun than strictly “amusement park foreign language.”

Giromiele

Giromiele is honey-themed, which matches the park’s farm-village style and gives you a different flavor than the “ride rides ride” attractions.

La Fabbrica del miele

This honey factory attraction likely builds on the theme introduced by Giromiele. I’d treat honey-focused attractions as a good mid-day shift: they’re a way to keep the story going while giving your group a change from pure motion.

Maiali Volanti

Flying pigs is about as clear as it gets. When a name suggests flight, you can expect that this is one of the more playful thrill options among the included attractions—perfect for kids who want to be bounced around and laughing.

Riciclondolo

This one signals a recycling theme (again, farm-world version). Attractions like this are great because they keep the day from becoming only noisy thrills. Even if your kids aren’t thinking about the message, it helps balance the tone.

Salta Fieno

Hay jumping suggests a bouncier, energetic stop. If your child loves jumping and motion, this is likely the “let’s do it again” attraction.

SpaventaCorvi

A scarecrow-and-crows style name fits the farm atmosphere. I’d see this as a fun, themed “look and go” attraction—good for families who like seeing character-driven sets.

ToroScontro

Bull clash is a classic amusement-park concept dressed in local language. The name alone makes it a prime candidate for older kids (and adults) who want a more intense or competitive-feeling ride.

VR and paid add-ons: Vr-Box and Labirintolo

Two attractions are not included in your entry ticket: Vr-Box and Labirintolo. If VR is a must for your family, treat these as optional upgrades.

Here’s how I’d decide on them without overspending:

• If your kids are already excited by the rides and arcade-style games, you might skip the paid VR and still feel you got full value.
• If they keep asking about VR or a maze-style experience, add at most one paid extra so the day stays enjoyable, not complicated.

This matters because the park already offers video games and VR areas as part of the overall experience. So you’re not leaving the fun zone when you skip the paid options; you’re choosing how much budget you want to pour into the digital layer.

The animal mascots: Gianni and the cast that makes it feel personal

The park leans hard into character. You’re told about Gianni the countryman, plus a set of named mascots: Penelope the Pig, Valentino the Bull, Richy the Rooster, and Martina the Bee. That’s more than cute branding.

For families, mascots do two useful things:

1) They give kids something to “hunt for” as you move between attractions.

2) They make short stops feel meaningful, even if your child isn’t interested in the ride mechanics yet.

Even if you don’t know the storyline in advance, the names help you connect the dots once you’re on site. You’re not just doing a checklist; you’re following a character world that carries through the day.

Rides plus arcade-style fun: how the day flows

One of the smartest parts of Luna Farm is the mix: rides, video games, and VR. That means you can build a day that avoids the common family travel problem: one energy type doesn’t suit every kid at every moment.

If you hit a physical ride and the mood drops, you can switch to a video game zone. If you’re waiting for a sibling or a parent who isn’t in the ride mood, you can still stay in the action without just standing around.

And because many rides are described as rotating, jumping, and flying, there’s a good chance you’ll find at least a couple that match your child’s favorite kind of motion. The trick is not forcing one high-energy ride over and over. Rotate your choices: ride, game, snack, then ride again.

Food, snacks, souvenirs, and party spaces for real family breaks

Food and drinks are not included in the ticket. That’s normal for family parks, but it does affect budgeting. The good news is the park has refreshment points for delicious snacks, plus a shop with adorable souvenirs.

I like using souvenirs as a way to end the day on a positive note. Let your child pick something small tied to their favorite mascot or theme. That keeps the experience from feeling like it’s just “we paid, we ran, we left.”

There are also spaces dedicated to parties. Even if you’re not attending a party, that tells you the park is set up for groups and celebrations, not only individual play. It often means the atmosphere is designed for families with breaks and social energy.

Special day energy: Dec 30 with Santa Claus house and Lucilla

On 30th December, Luna Farm calls it a Super Special day with events featuring Santa Claus house and Lucilla. If you’re traveling during that window, it’s worth planning around.

Holiday events usually change the feel of a park in a good way: longer lines sometimes happen, but the entire place can feel more like a day out with extra characters instead of only rides.

If you’re traveling in that season, I’d lean into it. Arrive with flexibility, expect more event-style activity, and treat the park like a holiday outing rather than only a practical one- or two-hour stop.

Value for families: when it feels worth it (and when it doesn’t)

At $14 per person, Luna Farm can be strong value if your group will actually use multiple included attractions. The included list is long enough that you’re not constantly thinking about whether you’re “getting your money’s worth” with each step.

This is especially true because:

• Most of the fun is included (12 attractions), and the paid add-ons are clearly named.
• The day includes both motion rides and digital-style play, so it fits different kids and different moods.
• The mascot and theme system makes short transitions less annoying.

Where it might not be the best fit:

• If your kids only want one type of attraction (for example, only VR), the paid add-ons can add up fast.
• If your child is under 90 cm, remember the important rule: they can enter for free, but they cannot use any attraction. That can still be fun for watching the theme and mascot areas, but it changes the “ride time” value for your ticketed group.

Should you book Luna Farm in Bologna?

I’d book Luna Farm if you want a family-friendly day that’s easy to plug into a Bologna trip, with a real theme and enough attractions to keep kids busy without constant extra purchases. The best part is the balance: rides that jump and fly, plus games and VR, all tied together with named characters like Gianni, Penelope the Pig, Valentino the Bull, Richy the Rooster, and Martina the Bee.

Skip it only if your group’s priority is very specific high-cost attractions like Vr-Box or Labirintolo, or if your youngest kids are unlikely to participate in any rides at all.

If you like practical play over museum-style time, this is a solid choice.
