The Crazy Horse
Cavallino Matto covers an area of 10 hectares in Marina di Castagneto Carducci. It is immersed in a pine forest, a short distance from beautiful sandy beaches, awarded with the European Blue Flag for over twenty years. The nearest beach is 500m away. “The municipality of reference is Castagneto Carducci, rich in many cultural, landscape and food and wine excellences. The ancient villages of Castagneto and Bolgheri are perfectly preserved and full of charm. The centuries-old Viale dei Cipressi di Carducci accompanies the visitor to the ancient castle of Bolgheri and is the gateway to the wine route known throughout the world. The cellars blend into the landscape – starting with that of the legendary Sassicaia – defined as the symbol of the past century that emerges behind the first cypresses in the colors of the earth.
Castagneto, linked to the Poet Carducci, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, hosts the Carducci Archive House and Museum.”
The site is home to a roundup of very varied attractions that include different types of structures suitable for both families with children and those looking for more adrenaline-pumping experiences. Among the latter we highlight Free Style, which reaches 32 meters in height and has a route of 800 metres. The maximum speed reached is 100 km. Timetables. The route goes through a vertical loop, two camels
jump and a vortex with a 90° rail inclination, to test the 4.5 G negative force. In addition to this structure, again for those who love to test their fearlessness, we also want to remember: Yukatan, a giant wheel that reaches 25 meters and oscillates at high speed; Shocking Tower, to experience the thrill of free fall at high speed; Project 1, a reinterpretation of the classic roller coaster, reaching a height of 17 meters and a length of 335 m, and Wild Mine, a high-speed route aboard a mine cart that passes through sharp bends and sudden descents. In short, there is something for all tastes and enjoyment will be guaranteed.
There are many activities that are also aimed at the little ones. A day at the Cavallino Matto will become an unforgettable experience for them, which they will continue to talk about for a long time, probably asking to come back again. Among the attractions offered are: African Village, slides, courses and other fun games; Topo Zorro, a roller coaster with speed suitable for all children; Fairytale Canoes, on board small canoes you can explore nature following a quiet water route suitable for the little ones; Carousel, the most classic of rides, on board a little horse to experience the first emotions; Skyglider, it takes good muscles and power in the legs to achieve a good push and turn 360° above the park; Speedy Gonzalez, aboard the world’s most famous mouse, performing aerobatics at full speed; Funicular, to see the park from above, passing over the heads of other visitors. In addition, the park offers educational and creative activities such as Road Education, a journey aboard intelligent and “talking” electric cars that bring children closer to road education issues, and Tricks, the area where children will be able to transform their faces for a day and become whatever their imagination suggests, thanks to the help of the skilled make-up artists who preside over that area of the park. Each structure requires certain requirements to be able to use it. Check with the park that the facilities you want to use meet your needs before visiting.

TIPS FOR THE VISIT
In order to climb these structures, there are requirements to be met, such as a minimum height for participants or that children must always be accompanied by an adult in order to visit the park. Check with the management what the requirements are for the facilities you want to use.
Especially if you want to visit the park with small children.
We also recommend asking which attractions are suitable for children depending on the age groups and experience required, in order to understand how many and which ones are most suitable for you and your children.
The park is located a short distance from a beautiful beach. We advise everyone to bring everything you need to spend part of the day there. The coasts of Maremma are beautiful, with white sand beaches and clean water.
