If you grew up in Bangalore, chances are you’ve been to Wonderla, whether with school, family, or friends. Opened in 2005, Wonderla remains one of the best amusement parks in Bangalore, offering plenty of fun for all age groups. It’s a great spot if you don’t have too much time but want to get away for the weekend with your friends or family. The park features water rides, high-thrill rides, and dedicated rides for kids, or as Wonderla Bangalore puts it: 25 land rides, 14 water rides, and 12 kids' rides. Plus, there's a resort for an extended stay.
When it comes to land rides, Wonderla offers 25 options, ranging from fun thrills to adrenaline-pumping experiences. The Sky Tilt gives you a bird's-eye view at 150 feet high, tilting at an angle of 30 degrees for an added thrill. The Wave Rider and Pirate Ship will have you twisting, turning, swaying, and even rotating at 360 degrees. And don’t miss out on the 443-foot-high Ferris Wheel for another amazing bird's-eye view.
For those seeking 'turbo thrills,' as Wonderla puts it, and if you don’t get dizzy easily, make sure to stop by Techno Jump, a jazzed-up carousel that moves up and down while revolving. Take things up a notch by heading to the Mixer (which gives you the feeling of being in a blender) or the Flash Tower, which lifts you to the top before you freefall for 40 metres. But save the best for last—the Recoil. This reverse-looping roller coaster will have you going from 0 to 80 km/h in a second through twists and turns. Needless to say, it’s exhilarating once you find the courage to breathe again! "Heart-in-the-mouth" takes on a near-literal meaning with this ride!
Water lovers, Wonderla's water rides are packed with fun, from water slides to chutes. Apart from splashy rides like the Drop Loop and Boomerang, there's the pool with multiple slides, a wave pool (in case you miss the beach), fountains, and faux waterfalls over toadstools, among others.
For the little ones, Wonderla offers kid-friendly rides like the Carousel, Magic Mushroom, and Mini Pirate Ship.
If you’re planning an extended weekend of fun, check into the Wonderla Resort, which offers luxury rooms, a heated swimming pool, and in-house restaurants, making it a worthwhile visit. Of course, you can eat, sleep, and repeat the whole process, if you choose! Or, head back to town relaxed—and we daresay with more energy than when you left.
