Hi there, welcome to the forum!
The Great Escape Water Park
Mumbai has a number of water parks that are great destinations for weekend getaways. One of them is The Great Escape Water Park, located in Virar East, in Thane. Built around 26 acres of land in a lush area of greenery, The Great Escape Water Park is not only a fun and enjoyable destination, it's also a great place to unwind and get away from the hustle of the city life. With a thrilling water park, play areas, dining areas and adventure activities, you're sure to enjoy a whole day or more when spent here. Families, friends, couples, there really is no restriction as to who can visit the water park so grab your backpacks and swim wear, enjoy the heat of the sun, only in The Great Escape Water Park.
What Awaits You
With about 16 fun slides and different swimming pools, both the little ones and the young at heart can spend their time away in the water park. The Kiddie Swimming Pool is a safe alternative for those with very young children. Its depth is merely one foot though the very young children would still need some guidance and supervision. There are many slides that they can utilise too as well as fun additions like buckets and water spouts which make the pool even more lively. On the other hand, the Wave Pool is a winner for all ages. Though it doesn't run continuously throughout the day, you can still enjoy the artificial waves for a few minutes a few times a day. And of course, the Rain Dance Area, with the blasting music and sprinkles of water, is another enjoyable feature of the water park.
There's also a separate Children's Play Area that the little ones can frolic in. It has a number of slides, see saws, swings and even maps with scramblers. There are also some open ground areas, where the older children or even adults can play cricket or badminton in, but you'd have to bring your own equipments for this. For the seniors, there are many shaded areas and cots that they can use to relax after a tiring day of watching the kids. There are also some facilities for adventure activities such as biking and zip lining but they come at additional costs. Other important facilities such as changing rooms, lockers, first aid, swimming costume counters (for sale only), banquet halls and dining halls are also available within the water park premises.
