Where is Gardaland located?

Gardaland is located in Castelnuovo del Garda, Veneto, Italy. Full address details, directions and opening hours are available on the park's official website.

Are Gardaland queue times live and accurate?

Yes - queue times on this page come directly from Gardaland's own ride system, the same data shown on the park's official app and in-park signs. Wait times refresh every few minutes. Parks occasionally over-estimate queues by 5-15% to manage expectations, so actual walk times are sometimes shorter than posted.
