Cinecittà World, Theme park in Castel Romano, Italy
Cinecittà World is an amusement park in Castel Romano, a frazione in the municipality south of Rome, offering attractions and shows centered on film and entertainment. The grounds divide into seven themed zones, including Ancient Rome, Spaceland, Far West, and Adventureland, with rides suited to families and older children.
The park opened in 2014 on a site previously occupied by film studios that Dino De Laurentiis founded in the 1960s. This connection to Italian cinema history shapes the concept and design of the themed zones throughout.
The park's name references the famous Cinecittà Studios in Rome, bringing film history into a leisure format. Visitors walk through recreated sets and scenes that recall Italian and international cinema productions, linking rides and attractions to the world of movie-making.
The park opens on weekends and holidays, with additional weekday hours during summer months, and lies about 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of central Rome. Onsite restaurants and picnic areas provide places to take a break between rides.
The Reino del Ghiaccio indoor snow park, produced by Industrial Frigo, opened in 2018 with four attractions and a bar; it was dismantled during the 2024 season. The park's entrance reproduces the Temple of Moloch from the 1914 silent film Cabiria.
