Monkey Park Arese - Parco Avventura vicino a Milano

4.7(890 reviews)FreePark
🕑 2.5 to 4 hours👶 Best for ages 5-14. Younger children (ages 5-8) can tackle easier courses close to the ground, while older kids and teens will love the more challenging high-rope courses and longer zip lines. Children under 5 may find most courses too difficult, though the park's green spaces offer play areas for toddlers.

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Book tickets online in advance, especially for weekend visits, as the park only operates Saturday and Sunday and slots can fill up quickly during peak season.
  2. 2.Wear closed-toe athletic shoes (required for safety) and comfortable clothes kids can move freely in. Avoid loose clothing or dangling jewelry that could catch on equipment.
  3. 3.Arrive when the park opens at 10:00 AM to beat crowds and give kids plenty of time to complete multiple courses before tiring out.
  4. 4.The park is located within Il Centro shopping mall complex, so you can easily combine your adventure with shopping or dining before or after your visit.
  5. 5.Bring your own snacks and water bottles, as the park has limited food options. There are picnic areas where families can take breaks between courses.

Best Time to Visit

Saturday mornings right at opening (10:00 AM) are ideal, offering cooler temperatures, smaller crowds, and fresh energy for tackling the courses. Spring and early fall provide the most comfortable weather for this active outdoor experience.

What to Know

While park admission is free, the adventure course activities require paid tickets (prices vary by course difficulty). The park is only open Saturday and Sunday, so plan accordingly. Safety equipment is provided, and trained staff supervise all activities.

Seasonal Notes

As an outdoor adventure park, it operates best during warmer months (typically April through October). The park may close during winter months or bad weather for safety reasons. Weekend-only operations mean availability is limited, so check their schedule before traveling, especially during off-season months.

Nearby Eats

Il Centro shopping mall, where the park is located, offers numerous family-friendly dining options including Italian chain restaurants and international fast food. For a more authentic experience, head into Arese town center (5 minutes by car) for traditional pizzerias and trattorias with kid-friendly menus.
