The first ace is the Prezzemolo tree, the little dragon mascot of Gardaland. A large construction, an attraction for the youngest of all. The second is the ''Mad house'': here Harry Potter's influence is translated in a house where everything is magical and topsy turvy. The third ace is ''Fantasy on ice'', the great ice skating show in the purpose-built new ice ring, holding 20000 spectators, where there will be ice-skating entertainment with fairy tale references. Finally, the fourth ace, is the ''Arcade games'', the area dedicated to games and for the older ones, where fun is given by a number fo spaces for golf, bowling, darts, bulls-eye shooting and football, all framed in a captivating choreography.

Prezzemolo's tree holds great appeal, with around 300 tons of weight, made in iron and cement, at the centre of the 12 thousand square meters area of the ''Fantasy kingdom''. And precisely the Gardaland symbol is about to become a television star.

This year on Italia 1, Mediaset channel, a series of cartoons starring the little dragon will be starting. In the immediate future the park will be equipped with a hospitality centre called ''Gardaland resort''. It is a 246 room hotel with restaurant and congress halls tailored around families who come to discover Gardaland.

The park is open until the 30th of September every day from 0930 to 1800, but from the 22 of June to the 10th of September there will be all day opening till night. In the autumn season Gardaland will stay open in October every weekend, with thematic celebrations for Halloween.
