From the heart-stopping roller coaster to the Merry-Go-Round, theme parks compete hard to offer the best experience to guests. To narrow down your choices, here is a short list of some of the best theme parks in India.

Planning to bring your parents out for some fun in the theme parks, but afraid that their old souls will not be pleased with the bouncy rides or thrilling attractions?

If you want to get the full experience of living in a film studio, book your stay at one of the best Taj hotels in the country – Taj Falaknuma Palace. The 19th-century palace is the epitome of extravagance and comfort.

An hour’s drive away from Delhi, Kingdom of Dreams at Gurugram is indeed where your theatre dream comes true. The kingdom combines different aspects of Indian arts, craft, culture, heritage and cuisine within one vast complex. Catch the show held at the lavish auditorium of Nautanki Mahal to give yourself a once-in-a-lifetime theatre experience.

To prevent your stomach from growling during the show, head to Culture Gully to savour some local dishes.

I would recommend staying at the Leela Ambience Hotel and Residences for its proximity to the location. You don’t want to be late for the show, right?

Amusement rides these days try so hard to incorporate more thrills and adrenaline rush that they become unfriendly for little children. Essel World Mumbai, however, stays inclusive to all types of visitors. So sit down, buckle up, and get ready to be “shot” into the sky before getting dropped again, while your little ones can skate down the ice rink with instructors to guide them.

How about a splash of water to cool down in this hot weather? Head to the Essel Water Kingdom for some water rides and slides. If you have toddlers with you, bring them to the Goofers Lagoon for children-friendly play pool. There’s something for everyone at Essel World!

Where to Stay?

Our pick will be The Grandeur Boutique Hotel — besides the convenient location, the hotel also pampers you like a royal!
