For example, near the resort of Milano Marittima and Ravenna there is the Mirabilandia amusement park. This is the Italian equivalent of Disneyland with 40 modern attractions and stunt shows.

Turkish animation is considered one of the best in the world, so everyone will be satisfied - both children surrounded by attention and adults who will not have to worry about anything. Well, if the hotel has an indoor pool or water park, then there is no shortage of water activities neither will it.
Spring is the ideal time to go on all kinds of excursions. Teenage children may enjoy a jeep tour through the mountains with dizzying switchbacks, rushing rivers and steep ascents and descents. Younger schoolchildren will be enchanted by the Dinopark near Kemer. The dinosaurs here are very similar to the living ones - they growl and move.

And this is not the only reason to go to the UAE - in this Middle Eastern country it is summer all year round. However, the end of March and the beginning of April is a very good time for a trip, because the sun is not very hot yet - only up to +28 degrees, while the water is Persian Gulf about the same temperature, so you won’t want to get out of the sea.
