Go-kart track

A big draw at Thrill Fun Park is the expert go-karting circuit. This go-kart track provides all the high-speed excitement you need if you ever wanted to fantasize about being in the driver’s seat like your favorite race car driver. Participants experience the adrenaline rush of maneuvering a snazzy go-kart around hairpin turns and curvy bends. All-terrain vehicle rides are also available to satisfy your need for speed.

Swimming pool and water slides

Shillong is warm all-year-round - for the most part - but the place to be during long hot summer months is the park’s sparkling crystal-blue swimming pool that features towering and corkscrew-shaped water slides for maximum delight. There’s also a dive pool and lane pool where Trills Fun Park hosts swimming competitions.

Children's zone

Thrills Fun Park provides a wonderful children’s zone that’s nirvana for young kids. This section of the park offers exhilarating pony rides for little ones that yearn to be a cowboy or cowgirl, If you have a child who’s crazy over locomotive trains, there’s an awesome colorful toy-train ride. Constructed with kids in mind, children can also take advantage of the fun bouncy houses equipped with slides. They’ll burn plenty of energy jumping on top-notch trampoline action, playing a collection of child-friendly games, scaling challenging - yet safe - climbing walls, and so much more.
