Birthday parties

The sites and tourist attractions of Terre Borromeo on Lago Maggiore are the ideal setting for blowing out the candles on your birthday cake in the company of your friends, at a birthday party to remember forever.

To celebrate in the open air, Parco Pallavicino in Stresa offers an 18-hectare natural oasis to have a good time freely and in complete safety, immersed in greenery. There are plenty of well thought-out options for children aged between 3 and around 13 years of age: in addition to a play area with merry-go-rounds and slides, you can walk through the park accompanied by an expert guide to discover the likeable guests belonging to over 50 animal species. Grazing freely on the farm are goats, deer, sheep, llamas and alpacas, which the children can meet close-up and pet. For genuine explorers, possessing compasses and maps, group games are also organised with tests of ability and riddles to crack at each stages. Until it’s time for the well deserved snack, to be enjoyed in one of the picnic areas.

Adventure routes, jumps, carefree races and the magic of the woods are the irresistible offer for young children (aged 3 and over) and older children (aged up to 15) who want to celebrate their birthdays with friends at the Mottarone Adventure Park. The Gignese area, where the Parco del Mottarone is located, straddles the provinces of Verbania and Novara on the mountain “of the seven lakes”, so-called on account of the view that characterises it. With equipment making your completely safe, thanks to the continuous lifeline system, amid the lianas, bridges, nets and Tarzan jumps, you are ready to have an outdoor experience with excitement guaranteed. The routes and activities are organised according to the level of difficulty and age. The park is also equipped with a modern “net experience” area with nets up to 3 metres high connecting trees and platforms where you can spend time playing. The nearby Bar Stazione hosts a picnic area where you can enjoy delicious snacks.

Celebrating your birthday with a trip back in time has something extraordinary about it. The Rocca di Angera, on the Lombard slope of Lago Maggiore, awaits the young participants in the rooms of the castle and the medieval garden for a day of magical spells and stories from far away. In this atmosphere, it will be a fun game to change into princes and princesses, to create accessories and costumes to wear and to choose your own knights. Or to test yourself in a tournament of competitions from the medieval tradition, such as sack races, archery, playing with the abacus or the piñata, in a charming challenge. The location is ideal for children aged between 6 and 13, who will gasp with delight at the marvellous world of the largest Doll and Toy Museum in Europe. On the panoramic terrace of the cafeteria or in the Sala del Castellano, it will soon be time for the delicious snacks or the cutting of the cake.

It is possible to hire the spaces and to arrange a sweet or savoury snack.
