What to Expect

A dusty, sprawling park with a Western theme: wooden saloons, a fake jail, cowboy actors, and a mini train. Shows run on schedule (shootouts, can-can dances). There's a go-kart track, a small zoo with farm animals, and a playground. The highlight is the cave tour (Grotta di IndianaPark) which is separate from the famous Castellana Caves. Food is basic: burgers, hot dogs, panini. English is limited. Crowds are mostly Italian families. You can cover it in 3-4 hours. It's not a full-day park unless you have young kids.

By car: 40 minutes from Bari, 20 minutes from Alberobello. Take SS16 to Castellana Grotte, then follow signs. Public transport: train to Castellana Grotte then taxi (€15-20). Buses are infrequent. A rental car is best.
What are the ticket prices for IndianaPark?
Around €18-22 for adults, €14-16 for kids (varies by season). Cave tour is extra (€8-10). Group discounts for 15+ people. As of 2025, expect to pay ₹1,600-2,000 per person.
How long does it take to see IndianaPark?
