A free entrance is not a free visit
The fairground can be entered without an admission ticket, while attractions, meals and goods have their own prices. Families should set a spending plan and agree a meeting point before separating.
Large events can change parking, pedestrian routes and local traffic. Use public transport where practical and follow temporary signs around the venue.
Check the day-specific information
Opening and closing times can differ between weekdays and weekends, and weather or operational conditions may affect an attraction. The Ambifaro event page is the authoritative current listing.
Supervise children around crowds and rides, follow operator height and safety rules and call 112 for an actual emergency.
