Right next to India’s largest amusement park, Essel World, lies what is the largest theme water park in Asia, Water Kingdom. Located across Manori Creek in Gorai in northern Mumbai, Water Kingdom boasts more than 30 fun-filled, water-based rides. In fact, its Aqua Play pool is the largest in the whole country. With more than five sections, thrill-seeking rides for adults, and rain dance areas for kiddies, every inch of the amusement park appeals to people of all ages. Since it lies on the outskirts, it offers an excellent break from the hustle and bustle of the city. To that end, check out this extremely useful guide to Water Kingdom, Mumbai.
Things to do/highlights
Enjoy the amazing rides
Water Kingdom is home to not one, but two fabulous pools, namely Lagoon and Wetlantic. The latter is an incredible wave pool and also the most visited section of the park. Sprinkled with fountains, towers, and caves, the pool is famous for its gentle and rolling waves, and is very popular with families. Also, this pool has lifeguards standing by. Lagoon, on the other hand, is the country’s largest aqua pool and has 10 different rides for different age groups. There’s also a huge elephant bucket that keeps splashing water every five minutes.
Finally, don’t miss what is India’s tallest vertical drops, What-A-Coaster. The seven-story slide to the bottom not only gets your pulse racing but also guarantees a heady rush. So much so, that you’ll be glad you got on it.
Go dancing in the rain
Behold Bratzone, another section of the park that’s wildly popular with everyone. Why? Because it’s one big wet dance party! Suitable for both kids and adults, this place is a dedicated rain dance area. It has water sprinklers splashing water all over a snazzy and groovy dance floor, with laser lights and pulsating dance music in the background. What’s more, it even has a shallow pool perfect for toddlers.
Take a break and grab a bite
If you think that you don’t have food options within Water kingdom, then think again! If you’re interested in biryani, wraps and rolls, and burgers, then there’s Food Wharf. Dig into scrumptious Chinese fare at Taipan, or relish fast food items at Hunger Thrill. What’s more, there are lots of food kiosks to literally suit every palate and mood. So, every once in a while, take a break and load up on the energy reserves by tucking into excellent food at these places.
Travel tips
Tickets and entry
There are different types of passes and tickets available for visitors. So, make sure to check your pass/ticket properly to redeem it to the fullest. In addition, you need to have a valid ID to enter the park.
Food and swimming costumes
Just like other swimming pools and water parks, you’re not allowed to enter unless you have a proper swimming costume with you. Ideally, your costume should be made from water-absorbing and quick-drying materials such as lycra or nylon. This is done for not only maintaining uniformity but also hygiene and safety. Also, no outside food or beverages are allowed inside the park.
Best time to visit
Although the park stays open until 6:30 p.m., you’ll need a full day to explore its rides and enjoy to the fullest. So, plan accordingly and arrive early for making the most of this place.
How to get there
Since Water Kingdom lies across a creek, there are several ways to get there.
By road
If you’re coming by private/rental car, taxi, or rickshaw, then Water Kingdom is a 45-minute ride away from Western Express Highway at Kashimira in northern Mumbai. If you’re coming by bus, then take MBMT Bus No. 4 from Bhayandar bus depot, which will directly take you to the park entrance.
By ferry
One of the quickest ways to get across to Water Kingdom is by ferry from Gorai ferry terminal. It lies at the far end of the area known as Borivali West/Charkop and can be reached via taxi, rickshaw, or bus easily. If you plan to travel by local train, then the nearest station on Western Line is Borivali. Get down at Borivali West and take a rickshaw, taxi, or bus to Essel World Gorai Ferry terminal. The tickets need to be bought at the terminal and the ride is of just 20 minutes.
How to get tickets
You can buy tickets to Water Kingdom from the official website, but you need to know that there are certain levels of tickets. Firstly, there are separate tickets for adults, kids, and senior citizens. Secondly, Water Kingdom lies right next to Essel World. So there’s also a ‘Combined Ticket’ for a single entry for visiting both attractions, albeit on the same day.
There’s also a ‘Fast Track Entry’ facility available, which allows you to enter quickly through a priority gate sans having to wait in line. Then there’s an Annual Pass, which can be used thrice in a year to visit either Water Kingdom or Essel World. Additionally, the first visit needs to be made within a month of purchasing the ticket, and from then on, a year is counted.
