Wonderla is a theme park resort located in the city of Bangalore. It was established in the year 2005 and was the second venture of Wonderla Holidays Limited, a private company. It was Mr. Kochouseph Chittilappilly who founded this theme park, along with the other theme parks in Cochin and Hyderabad. Amongst the many theme parks in India, Wonderla in Bangalore garnered the top spot for the best theme park in India, according to the ranking system of Trip Advisor. With its world-class dry and wet rides, Wonderla in Bangalore is a renowned getaway for both locals and foreign tourists. The best part? Safety and cleanliness are two aspects that the theme park resort excels in, making it a family-friendly destination as well.

Where is Wonderla Located in Bangalore?

Wonderla is located in Jadenahalli in Bangalore, specifically in the Mysore Road. It is about 35 kilometres to the southwestern side of the city centre of Bangalore.

Spread over 82 acres of land is the fun theme park of Wonderla. This is Bangalore's largest theme park and easily the most popular as well.

For the little ones, there are various statues of animals such as pigs, elephants, rabbits and more that would take their attention away. The surrounding greenery in the form of plants and trees provide for a nice respite from the concrete jungles of the city.
