Came across the exhibition by chance while walking around the town. Some fantastic sand sculptures, interesting exhibition telling you how they're made.

Before you can enter the park, you have to pay the shocking amount of 32(!!!)€ (adult) per person. Moreover, lounger and sunshade cost extra (4€pp). Minus one star, thats too much!
Even though we were there at 1030 am, half an hour after the park opens, we had to wait for more than half an hour at the first waterslide. The park was packed!
It was the same thing at all the other slides, too. This costs them the second star.
The slides themselves were pretty cool! Apart from that, the organisation offers an enormous entertertainment program for all those who are bored.
3/5 stars.

We came to this nice and typical Italian square during our bicycle tour around Jesolo. Cool refreshing water Fountains go hand in hand with bars, shops and restaurants.
4. Lido di Jesolo Sea Life Aquarium
Overall Ratings
4 based on 1 reviews
The sea has always been a source of curiosity for all mankind: just think that about half of the animal species we know live in water, and that a large part of marine habitats are still unexplored. Which means. There are a lot of things still to be discovered! That's why the path of Sea Life Aquarium is a themed and interactive journey where you can experience the thrill of a dive ... but without getting wet: 36 tanks with 5000 sea creatures and more than 100 species: from sea horses to starfish, jellyfish, rays and the mysterious sharks. A unique tour through 16 different environments, from rivers of the Dolomites, to the Venice lagoon to the ocean and the tropical seas, discovering the underwater world: at the interactive touch pools it is also possible to caress starfish, crabs and sea cucumbers, and assist to the live feeding of sharks and stingrays.As usual, the staff of the aquarium will be available to tell visitors about their habits and peculiarities, combining the fun with educational value and learning experience.

It's smaller than expected after having paid 33 EUR for one adult and one 16-years old boy. We stayed 40 minutes and saw rather common kinds of fish. The staff was nice but the aquarium alone has very little to show for this price.
5. Tropicarium Park

Entrance for family with one child age 8 50 Euro. That includes three Exhibitions, aquarium tropicarium and predators. Different types of reptiles. Butterflies. Sharks. Crocodiles. All kept in small sized, dirty areas. Quite large sharks in pools so small they can barely swim straight along the longest side. Penguins looking sad with water dirty with old fish on the bottom.
Cannot recommend this at all. Will leave you feeling sad for supporting this non serious business. Compared to great, professional destinations as the oceanarium in Lisbon, this is a shame.

This is a modern piazza close to the bus station, and overlooked by some of the tallest buildings in Jesolo, (Le Torri di Piazza Drago).
Slate grey stone features heavily, built with children in mind as water jets rise haphazardly out of the pavement.
In the top eastern corner is a monument with two figures, old and modern to the Carabinieri (military police). The former looking slightly sinister in tricorn hat and clock, whilst the latter is heavily symbolic, a dying policemen complete with automatic weapons. I wish i could have translated the dediciation.
This is an interesting piece of modern civic sculpture and street furniture.

I was looking for a place for the kids to have fun. This one looked good on the Internet. The difference between the Net pics and reality was shocking. We did not have the chance to investigate it more, as the place was closed (it supposed to be open...) Would not really recommend it to any kids at any age.

My husband, son and I were on holiday in Lido de Jesolo and picked up a leaflet about the museum.
We are so pleased we made the effort to visit.
If you are interested in military history this is the place to be.
There is so much on display we spent at least 2 hours there and will be visiting again next year.
The museum contains uniforms, weaponry , vehicles and miscellaneous items.
The owner and his son, who speaks good English, showed us round. The owner is very enthusiastic about his collection .
At the end of the tour he asked us to join him in a glass of wine.
Wish more English museums showed this much friendliness and hospitality.
