Things to do / highlights
Ride the waves in the wave pool
The wave pool is by far the theme park’s most popular attraction. The massive pool has clear water punctuated by considerably big waves similar to the seas. While there’s no surfing and wakeboarding to be seen, visitors can have a blast riding the waves with their body or running through them to reach the end. It’s a great place to splash water about with some mates or family.
Dance the day away on the aqua dance floor
Pulsating music, bright lights, and artificially induced rain are all features of the aqua dance floor in the Wonderland Theme Park. Punjabi music is the genre of choice, with thumping beats elevating the mood. A canopy towers over the dance floor, with artificial clouds producing ‘rain’ to drench visitors in quite the movie-like fashion.
Spin around on a rollercoaster
No amusement park is complete without a rollercoaster and Wonderland Theme Park fits the bill. With thrilling twists and turns along the route, the rollercoaster in the theme park is a must-try even if you’re wary of heights. At points, the rollercoaster car completely flips over, leaving visitors suspended upside for down for one hair-raising moment.
