Ferrari Park is built for every member of the family. From junior driving schools to interactive rides and gentle adventures, here's everything families need to know.
One of the most common misconceptions about Ferrari Park is that it's primarily designed for adult thrill-seekers. In reality, the park has invested enormously in creating a world-class experience for families with children of all ages. The family zone is extensive, thoughtfully laid out, and packed with experiences that are not simply scaled-down versions of adult rides — they are genuinely crafted with children's imaginations and parents' peace of mind at the forefront.
From the moment young visitors step into the junior driving area, they're immersed in an age-appropriate version of the Ferrari world — colourful, safe, and hugely exciting. Children can graduate through various ride intensities at their own pace, building confidence as they explore the park's gentler attractions before, perhaps, graduating to the moderate coasters as they grow. For parents, the family zone provides both dedicated viewing areas and plenty of accompanying adult-permitted rides that the whole group can enjoy together.
If you're visiting with a mix of ages — particularly with children under 120 cm — prioritise the family zone first while children have the most energy. The junior attractions tend to have shorter queues in the morning, and younger children tend to reach their limit of stimulation after three to four hours.
Junior Grand Prix is consistently ranked as the most beloved experience for young visitors at Ferrari Park. This immersive attraction invites children to take the wheel of a scaled-down Ferrari F1 car and navigate a specially designed circuit, complete with straightaways, gentle curves, and the excitement of the starting grid.
The experience is more than just a ride — it's a fully themed environment where children become Ferrari racing drivers for the day. They receive a racing license, wear a driving suit if available, and complete their lap of the circuit before returning to the pits. The attention to detail in the theming, from the grandstands to the pit lane setup, makes this a genuinely immersive experience rather than a simple go-kart session.
Children must meet minimum age and height requirements to drive independently. Younger children may be accompanied by an adult in some vehicle configurations — check with the ride attendants upon arrival for current guidelines.
Benno's Great Race is a charming and entertaining family dark ride that takes visitors on a whimsical journey across the Italian landscape. Benno is a lovable cartoon Ferrari character who serves as the guide through a series of beautifully animated scenes — each representing a different iconic region of Italy, from the rolling hills of Tuscany to the canals of Venice and the Roman Colosseum.
Unlike the intensity-focused rides elsewhere in the park, Benno's Great Race is entirely relaxed and suitable for toddlers upward. There are no height restrictions, no significant motion, and the ride is fully air-conditioned. This makes it a perfect option when younger members of the group need a rest from more stimulating activities, or as a gentle introduction to the park for very young first-time visitors.
Scuderia Challenge bridges the gap between the family zone and the more intense attractions by giving visitors the experience of actually piloting a Ferrari through a racing simulation. Using motion-based simulator pods, riders take on the role of a Ferrari Formula One driver, choosing from various circuits and competing against the clock or against other pods in the group.
The realism of the experience is considerable — the simulator pods replicate genuine F1 cockpit ergonomics, the graphics are high-definition racing environments, and the motion platform responds dynamically to driving inputs and on-screen action. For children and adults who are passionate about motorsport but not yet ready for Formula Rossa, this is an unmissable stop. It also makes an excellent activity for the whole family to participate in together, comparing lap times and celebrating personal bests.
These attractions sit between the family zone and the full thrill rides, making them perfect for older children and teens ready for more excitement.
A side-by-side racing coaster with two parallel tracks that allow groups to race each other simultaneously. It delivers genuine coaster thrills — drops, banking turns, and speed — at a level accessible to children 120 cm and above. The competitive, race-format layout makes this one of the most replayable attractions in the park, with families often queuing a second time to see if they can win the race.
An imaginative and visually spectacular 4D dark ride that uses motion, wind, water mist, and surround-sound effects to immerse riders in a high-speed fantasy adventure through a stylised version of the Ferrari racing world. Families with children old enough to handle mild motion and occasional startling effects will find this one of the most memorable attractions in the park.
Ferrari Park publishes minimum height requirements for each attraction. Review these before your visit and measure your children at home so you can plan which rides are accessible and avoid disappointment at the queue entrance.
Ferrari Park has numerous seating areas, rest zones, and dining options spread throughout the family zone. Planning regular breaks of 20–30 minutes helps children maintain energy and enjoyment throughout a full day.
The park's Italian-themed restaurants can become very busy between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM. Consider eating either before 12 PM or after 2:30 PM to avoid long food queues and ensure children don't become hungry and tired at peak times.
Some junior experiences require age verification, particularly for unaccompanied driving activities. Having a passport or birth certificate available prevents any issues at the attraction entrance.
