3. Travelers tips
Timings
Although the park is open every day of the week from 9 am to 9 pm, you should know that rides start operation only from 3 pm to 9 pm. So, if you plan to visit for the slides and the thrilling bump cars, you might want to go to the park in the afternoon. If you are not a big fan of the hot weather, it is best to drop by at night or when the sun is about to go down. Want a whole-day tour experience? Although the park is lovely all-year-long, it is exceptionally ideal during the winter season as the temperature is favorable, which will allow you to enjoy the sun.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
Comfortably located in a residential area, Vardhman Fantasy is just 2 km away from Mira Road station and you can reach here by hiring an auto rickshaw easily available outside the station. There's a minimal entry fee, which does not include the cost of the rides. Most rides cost 50 INR (0.60 USD) except for the dashing car and 4-D theater. It's advisable to buy a package of 200 INR (2.40 USD), which includes 15 rides, and you can also repeat them. Plus, there's an eatery right in the center of the park, which serves delicious chats, such as sev puri, at affordable prices. Once you enter the property, you'll see the 7 Wonders of the World where you can click pictures. For little ones, there's even a toy train that takes you around the park. The only downside is that the place is very crowded on weekends, especially in the evening.
