Worlds of Wonders

Worlds of Wonder in Noida is the largest amusement park in Delhi NCR. It is also simply known as WOW. This amusement Park is located in Sector 38A Noida, just behind The Great Indian Place. If you take a metro you can get down at Noida Sector 18 Metro station. From here the Park is just few minutes walk. The size of the Park is large enough to engage you one whole day. This is just the right place to bring your kids and give them a memorable outing.

                                     WOW Main Entrance is just behind The Great Indian Place

   The Mega Disco, the first thing that comes to my mind is the UFO flying  
    saucer. It spins clockwise-anticlockwise and swings from one end to the        
    other. All you can do is scream and scream.
   The Chart Smashers (or is it the Car Smashers)- If you have ever dreamed of driving    and smashing into a car or a wall! Then this is it. Children lines up for a carefree          ride.


   Hippi Hopp- The idea of riding on a beautifully adorned horse was a thrilling fantasy.    The ride is gentle and slow enough to make it possible even for smaller kids.


   There are dining places everywhere. Don't expect for a big fast food pavilion or a huge food          
     court. If you want KFCs and McDs, The Great Indian Place Mall is just next door. Here you'll get   
     snacks, drinks and lots of pop corns. Look out for a souvenir or a gift shop popular with kids. 


Adventure Island

Go crazy at the fun zone in the Adventure Island, Rohini, Delhi. Launched in 2006, the Entertainment factory spread across 62 acres is running successfully in its 7th year. The landscaped area covered by state-of-the-art rides in the country draws families from every part of the city on weekdays and weekends. A short walk or a quick rickshaw ride away from the Rithala metro station brings you to this amazing wonderland where fun starts as soon as you enter.




Summers are best enjoyed here as you can jump into a water zone that has water rides. The Splash Dunk and Splash Down rides take you up on a height and makes you hit the water splashing away the sweltering heat off from your clothes.


The rain dance adds to the fun as you get drenched dancing on the latest beats on English and Hindi soundtracks



You can experience weightlessness with Z force, a ride that drops 25 meters in a few seconds that tickles your belly.




If ever hunger pangs disturb you, head for the delectable food items and grab a burger.
