Luneur Park is the oldest amusement park in Rome and one of the most historic in Italy, opened in 1953. It is located in the Eur district, in the southwest part of the city. Luneur was born as a theme park dedicated to fun for families and children, with attractions designed for the youngest, but over the years it has been able to renew itself by expanding its offer and becoming a reference point for quality entertainment in the Capital.
Luneur Park, depending on the time of year, also organizes events, educational workshops and seasonal activities that involve children and parents in playful and cultural experiences, promoting play as a fundamental tool for growth and learning.
