Self-Powered Amusement Park: Ai Pioppi

Osteria Ai Pioppi is a magical little spot just off the beaten path near Conegliano in Northern Italy. The food is fairly average but what really makes this place worth the visit is the free self-powered amusement park. All of the rides are creatively designed by Bruno (the owner) and are engineered to be operated only by putting in a little effort. Nestled among the trees you will find rides for every age and skill level. I recommend parent supervision for young kids and if it's not too hot to wear pants, close toed shoes, and maybe even bring some leather gloves. It is such a fun, magical place! Enjoy! 

Hours: Open typically on the weekends (and every day for parts of the summer), check the website for more details (closed until March 2017)
