Combined tickets in Cattolica: the aquarium plus a park

Which Cattolica combo to book

All five bundles pair the Aquarium of Cattolica fast track ticket with a second attraction on the Romagna coast. The choice comes down to who's travelling and how far you want to go.

Families with a mix of ages. Aquarium of Cattolica + Oltremare is the most booked and best reviewed pairing. Oltremare, in nearby Riccione, is a nature and dolphin park, so it follows the sea theme of the aquarium without repeating it.

Small children. Aquarium + Italia in Miniatura works well for younger kids, who like walking among the scale models of Italian landmarks. Aquarium + Fiabilandia is a fairy-tale park with gentle rides. Both are in Rimini, a short trip up the coast.

Teens and ride fans. Aquarium + Mirabilandia adds one of Italy's biggest theme parks, with roller coasters. It's near Ravenna, so count on a longer journey and a full day there.

Animal lovers. Aquarium + Safari Ravenna pairs sea life with a drive-through safari park. Also near Ravenna, it's easiest with a car.

Is a combo cheaper than separate tickets?

Yes, a little. Every Cattolica bundle is listed slightly below the price of its two parts, and the Oltremare pair has the biggest discount. The bigger benefit is one checkout for two attractions in different towns.

How the tickets work

You book once and receive two tickets: a fast track entry for the aquarium and a standard entry for the park. Pick a date for each part when booking. Most parks on this coast run seasonal opening calendars, so check that both are open on your dates. Cancellation conditions can differ per part; read them on the booking page.

The aquarium is a few hours' visit, so it pairs well with a beach afternoon. Give the park its own day. For more on the coast, see Rimini and Riccione; for the big cities, start with Rome or Venice.
