After searching for a nice indoor play area for my daughter's birthday, we came to Pistoia to…read moreWonderpark. It was €6 for my daughter after signing up for their savings card, adults accompanying children do not pay. There were several different areas set up with inflatable slides, jungle gyms, small climbing wall, area for smaller children and another arcade area. There were 4 different birthday parties being held at the time and the place was crowded with children and adults, but we didn't have any problem waiting to play with all the areas. They also have a pizza restaurant inside which we did not get to try, but nice to know if you or your little one gets hungry. A great place to take kids during rainy, winter days.

Best suited to under 12s as there are no real thrill rides. My 8 year old can go on everything. Also toddler friendly areas. Nice setting in amongst the pine forests near the coast at Marina di Donoratico, easy to reach from the main road (Via Aurelia). Rides include: kiddy coasters, tame water splash ride, 3D cinema, quad bikes, swinging pirate boat, train, 'jungle' track. Only one days worth of stuff here and an easy day, not stressful like the bigger 'theme' parks, fair price, an old fashioned 'amusement' park.

Oh man! It is gorgeous in Cinque Terre! We stayed in Monterosso (one end of the 5 towns) and worked…read moreour way over to Riomaggiore. I'm glad we did it this way cause most people go the other direction, and I have to say Riomaggiore was my least favorite town cause it was so small and the beach area is not as large as ours! Monterosso - beach friendly with a rocky beach people sunbathe in and you can rent beach chairs for the day. The water is a bit chilly in May but people were definitely swimming in it. Fried fish stands and a ton of restaurant options in town and along the water. We hiked from Monterosso to Vernazza! Crazy amount of stairs going up the first leg of the hike! But after that it was nice views of both towns and gorgeous! Especially upon approach of Vernazza where you go down a bunch of stairs to get into the town. Vernazza was one of my favorites! Water front restaurants and gorgeous views. We had a quick light lunch and then continued on with a hike to Corniglia. The hike was less rigorous as the first one from Monterosso to Vernazza but still lots and lots of stairs! The views on this one was also beautiful but I liked the ones from the first leg better. Corniglia was one of my least favorites cause it was so small and quaint. There is apparently the best gelato place in this town - we definitely wished we knew earlier cause we didn't get any! There isn't a view point in this town for pictures, like there are in the rest. People recommend seeing this town on boat from the ocean. We took a train back and decided to venture to Manarola and Riomaggiore the next day. Omg those stairs to the train station in Corniglia! There are ~380 steps to get to the train! I felt bad for people coming up! There is a shuttle if you want to pay like 2 euros a person to get up to the town. Manarola was another favorite! So beautiful and picturesque in every way! The ocean view hike from Corniglia to Manarola was closed due to mudslides so the inner vineyard hike is available but more rigorous. We decided to be lazy and let our legs rest and took the train to this town. We wished we had more time in both Vernazza and Manarola! So pretty! We took a train to Riomaggiore with the idea to boat back so we can see all 5 towns via boat but due to rough waters, the boat was closed that day. Bummer. There wasn't much to do in Riomaggiore since the walkway of love was closed and the town was small. Overall gorgeous and relaxing with options for nature lovers to hike and wine lovers for wine tasting in the rolling vineyards. Favorite towns to spend some time in - Vernazza and Manarola. Beach town Monterosso. And least favorite - Corniglia and Riomaggiore! But remember to grab a gelato in Corniglia!
