The largest amusement park in India, EsselWorld will provide kids and adults with all the fun they can handle. Sit on the Shot-n-Drop to experience 4G force at 190 feet, or live through a washing machine cycle on the daring Top Spin… If you want to see what it would feel like to crash into your friends, the Dodgems should be your top choice! Then, when you’re done with all the crazy roller coasters and water park fun, (and your stomach is still calm), you can head to the food court to eat all the typical amusement park junk food that you can find!

The name of this entertainment park sounds as a location from a fairy tale, and turns out, it really is: there are water rides and crazy, twirling-whirling rides that’ll make you reconsider your life choices… The food is magically sugar-filled and the kiddies can find rides that are a bit less “exciting,” too. Their newest attraction is Recoil, a gigantic roller coaster that flips you and takes you of thrilling loops. Wonderful news: Wonderla also has amusement parks in Hyderabad and Kochi!

Who wouldn’t want to go on a Himalayan Water Ride or the Alpen Blitz? Thankfully, many of our Rickshaw Challenge runs visit Chennai, so you’ll probably have a couple of hours to pump up your adrenaline levels. Want to experience a free fall? Go ahead! There is a tower that will let you experience an unsettling fall from 150 feet. If you’re looking for something more relaxing, you can take a boat and let the water soothe you, or just try the American Wave Pool for some therapy before you get back on the road.

This place is mystical and amazing, something straight out of your dreams. It blends the rich cultural heritage of India with local, Lebanese and Chinese food and breath-taking attractions that’ll quite simply blow your mind! You can eat and shop your way through tea houses and libraries and ethnic jewellery shops; and if you become thirsty for some fun, visit one of the numerous street bars. They have a cool place called the Mystic Centre, and each day you’ll be one of the lucky individuals who can witness the Carnival of Indian Folk Art & Dance. Naturally, Bollywood also gets a say in matters, with viewings and movie features.

Everything is about the cinema here (who would’ve guessed?) The 2000-acre city is dedicated to everything movie-related, it was named by the Guinness World Book of Records as the world’s largest Film studio complex. Approximately 1.5 million tourists visit this filmmaking universe; some couples even have their weddings here!

As the name might suggest, this park is famous for its watery attractions. You can walk through the Niagara Falls or close your eyes and hurl yourself down a wacky waterslide, but you can also let your fear take a hold of you in the pendulum that’ll have you swaying from side to side on a gigantic slide. For relaxing minutes, the Lazy Pool is always available; just sit on your floating tube and lay back, let the current take over. Once the real summer heat hits, Aquatica will become your number one choice for cooling off while also having the time of your life.
