Water Park In Chandigarh To Beat The Summer Heat

Chandigarh is justifiably famous as the exemplification of the modern Indian city – well-planned and designed. However, as with any other city, there are problems of crowding, noise, traffic, and pollution here too. Friends of mine who live in Chandigarh swear by the city but also need to escape it from time to time.

When I asked these friends what kind of escapes could be found for those wanting to get away from the city for the day, they gave me a plethora of options. Some of those were for picnic spots in and around the city, while others were serene and quiet getaways in the not-too-distant mountains. However, what really caught my attention was the mention of amusement and water parks.

There aren’t any water parks or amusement parks located inside the city proper, but there are three such places within an easy traveling distance of the city. At ShoutLo, we decided to check these out and let you know what they’re all about.

Funcity Water Park in Chandigarh

This is the oldest amusement and water park to come up near Chandigarh and, therefore, is definitely one of the most popular getaway destinations for those looking for some fun and frolic. It was first opened up in 1995 as an amusement park with the water park, called Wunder Water, being added on a few years later. The water park stays closed during winters but once summers arrive, visitors from all over flock to it. Fun City is located in Panchkula, approximately 20 kilometers from Sector 17.

Aqua Village

The third and latest entrant on this list is Aqua Village located in Pinjore. This place, as the name suggests, is purely a water park, unlike the other two which are a combination of amusement and water parks.
