Wonders Park

Wonder Park is an amusement park constructed in Navi Mumbai. Being close to the residential areas, coupled with a minimal entry fee, it has become a popular local attraction spread across a land of 30 acres. It offers various hi-tech rides coupled with miniature models of the Seven Wonders of the World.

These wonders include the Taj Mahal (Agra), Cristo Redentor (Rio de Janeiro), Colosseum (Italy), Machu Picchu (Peru), Petra – Al Khajneh (Jordan), the Great Wall of China and Chichen Itza (Mexico), each placed within a few meters of the other.

The well-manicured gardens equipped with benches and trees act as a diligent playground for children, with some of them having rubber flooring. The play zones interspersed in these areas have swings and slides to keep children occupied. There is also a toy train covering the entire park and is labeled as the next popular attraction after the Seven Wonders. If you are hungry and want to grab a late-afternoon snack, then you can visit the food mall that serves delicacies from all across the world at amazing prices.

Apart from this, the amusement park has an amphitheater that can accommodate 1000 people, a cycling track, a jogging track, and a chessboard with human-sized pieces to play with. It offers a horse-cart ride too! Within the periphery are the Khandoli Lake and the Lazy River, attracting nature enthusiasts. They are decorated with sculptors for aesthetics.

The best time to visit Wonder Park is from October to February. The climate during this time is ideal for sightseeing with no unpredictable showers. It still may be comparatively hotter and humid, but the mornings and evenings are perfect for roaming about due to the pleasant environment.

On the other hand, the months of March to May are humid. Being the offseason, not many tourists visit the park during summer. While monsoon starts from June and ends in September and is followed by copious rainfall, making it impossible to visit the park or any other tourist destination for that matter.
