Few days back , my cousin came form Dehradun to Delhi just to enjoy his college holidays. Every year he comes once to Delhi. He gives the reason that there is nothing much to enjoy in Doon , while I think just opposite to him. Nevertheless , this time he wanted to visit some Amusement Park. List of places came to my mind , but the first one was Adventure Island. Why go too far when something so big is there in our own locality. We decided to go on a weekday to avoid the rush. Adventure Island and Metro Walk Mall is located in Sector-10 Rohini just near the Rithala Metro Station. We went there in the evening.

We parked our car in the parking. A nominal parking fee is charged Rs 25 is charged. A great systematic entry. Parking Ticket counters are made just like Toll Tax booths.This Rohini Amusement Park is sprawled over 62 acres in North West Delhi. The project encompasses a shopping mall – Metrowalk and Adventure Island, a world class amusement park and a water park.
It is the result of 50% partnership between Unitech and International Amusement Ltd., the promoters of Appu Ghar. People are coming from South Delhi and Gurgaon too even though it’s located in North Delhi.
Parking : Very Spacious overground parking.The parking space is covered in few acres.

Parking – Lane 1
The parking space is so much that we parked our car in Lane-1. There are 12 such big lanes which can accomodate thousands of cars.After the entry the first place is the Metro Walk Mall. This Mall was the first of its type an “Open mall” in Delhi that too extended over such large area.Roaming around in a mall in fresh air is simply awesome. However the entry ticket of Adventure Island is Rs 450 for adults and Rs 400 for kids. What I like about this place is that even this whole 65 acres is open but still it is beautifully maintained .
The bridge that separates Metro Walk from Adventure Island.

Adventure Island is really an island! Yup, its an artificial island flanked by a “lagoon” that separates the island from the Metro Walk Mall area. So you walk over the bridge and enter into Adventurama! Chances are you’ll be there from start to finish! Try to Go on a weekday if possible, that way you get to go on ALL the rides MULTIPLE times.
The amusement park contains about 26 rides and attractions. All the rides here are imported from the suppliers who supply to international amusement parks like Disneyworld, Universal and Six Flags. The water park offers many rides there. There is also a Family Pass option.”. This pass offers you a host of privileges like welcome drink, special offer onMerchandises and Rides like Twister, Spalsh Dunk etc.
The Side Winder
There are large no. of rides.The gut wrenching ones are the Side Winder and the Twister. The Wind Winder is a circular shaped deceptively adorable machine. Its actually mean and business-like, twirling and throwing at the same time.It twirls and throws YOU up into the air, almost vertical and at speeds that will astonish and make you fell like you’ve left your insides behind. Its awesome. But not for the faint hearted.
The Z-Force
Cyclone
The second stomach turner, literally, is the Twister that doesn’t act like a cyclone. No, the only thing it twists around topsy turvy is again, you. Two rows of seated people know they’re in for a rough ride, but have no idea how horrific it is to be turned upside down 360 degrees in a slowly killing and then mind-numbingly fast motion.Don’t worry though, there’s virtually no chance of falling out.They have full safety measures.They were cool, though. Moving further we came across a small cricket stadium. Really very small but well maintained.

Another area which is very good here is the Water zone. All rain dance and everything quite enjoyable with DJ playing songs.

Then we came back to the mall after enjoying. The retail environmentat Metro Walk is spread across 2.21 lakh sq.ft and is anchored to the park. This retail development has both a fun / amusement / impulse driven retail mix as well as convenience shopping options for an extended catchment area. It overlooks a large lake which acts as the separator between the mall building and the park.There are total 78 retail shops including eating joints. You will find many of the major brands here.
Food and Beverage Outlets : KFC, Punjabi by Nature, Fast Trax, Spoon the Food Court, Pizza Hut, Yo China, Nirula’s, Pind Balluchi, Flaming Wok, Gola Sizzler, Baskin Robins, Ruby Tuesday, Barista, Costa Coffe, McDonald’s, Cafe Coffee Day, Geoffrey’s and more…………..

After this great evening we were tired. But this whole sprawling campus provides every bit of enjoyment. I will give full marks to this Amusement park as they have excellently maintained it with full clealiness even in an open space. It is not only a place for youngsters but it is even a great place for family picnic as the kids really like this place.
