The invite to visit the Adlabs Aquamagica came at a perfect time, just as I was heading to Pune with my daughter for her summer holidays. With the crazy Pune heat, it did not take me much to convince my cousin and niece to accompany me. So, we booked a few extra tickets & headed to the waterpark at Khopoli, along the Mumbai-Pune highway.

Adlabs Aquamagica is a perfect outing for the kids, especially for the summer. With its newly opened Snomagica park, beating the heat was never so easy.
One thing about Theme parks is that when you go with kids, there are quite a few rides that you have to sit out for, as the kids are too young to be allowed in. However, with Adlabs Aquamagica, you will find that most of the rides are kid-friendly. – thrilling enough and not too difficult for them. This makes the park super fun for families as you will actually be enjoying them all with your kids – double fun, double enjoyment.
Among the various rides and slides that we experienced, I asked my daughter to give me 5 highlights of her day at AquaMagica and here is what she chose :
Contents
1) SnoMagica

One hour of snow, music, igloos, polar bears and penguins – a complete extreme to the heat outside. Add in some fun with snowballs and slides, there is no reason why the kid in you will not pop out to have some fun.

And talk of becoming an Ice-Princess. I think I played my part well.

Not used to the cold, my daughter tired out in 30 minutes. Frozen Toes is definitely not her cup of tea. However, the time that she was there, she totally enjoyed herself and she does claim that as long as she gets short breaks, would love to do it again.
2) Boomeranggo

When you are released at top speed from a steep slide, there is no way that you can avoid a boomerang at the other end. Check out the tight facial expressions of thrill on the faces π

And then, they boomeranged to the other side before slowing down.

3) The Screamer

Not once, not twice, not even thrice, the little minx with her cousins went in this ride at least 4 times. A ride for a trio, she loved this ride for the sheer thrill of unknown corners, dark holes and the wildly oscillating raft. Had I not dragged her off, she probably would have done it once more. π

4) Splash

Simple but a fun ride, especially, if you want to race someone. The thrill in this ride is the sheer loss of control , as you slide down with no sides to hold, no rafts to grab and no mats to grasp. All you have is a free fall along this wide slide. I sure had fun on this one.
5) The Pirate Bay

Nothing chilling and nothing thrilling here. A perfect place to play hide and seek with your kids – be it teens or toddlers. This is like a jungle gym with slides all around, guns spouting water, huge buckets tumbling on your heads and tons of hidey holes. Pirate bay is perfect to start your day or even end it. It helped us first get used to the water and later cool down before we headed to change back to dry clothes. Here are some more pictures of this attraction.


Other Highlights of Adlabs Aquamagica
Swirl Whirl
In addition to the these rides, we were tempted to go to the highlight of the park. Swirl Whirl. A steep slide through the hollows of a tunnel straight onto a swirl. When we watched the others give it a go, it felt as if they were being sucked into infinity. Check it out.


Loopy Whoopy
For the adults, one slide to try out, is the Loopy Whoopy. I definitely did not want to go through it but it was fun seeing the others, have a free fall through a tube and loop out into a pool. Me? I like thrills but did not fancy getting stuck in a tube and definitely, did not want to travel through it like a toothpaste π
Unfortunately, thanks to my carelessness, my picture of this slide got deleted but just to give you and idea, check out the picture of the Lazy River below. The huge roller coaster like structure at the far end is Loopy Whooppy.

For the not-so-high-thrill lovers, the lazy river, the smaller slides, the wave pool and the mist area are good options to chill out. On the whole, the Adlabs Aquamagica experience was perfect for my little squirt and seeing her thrilled, was a definite high for me. If you are in Mumbai or Pune with family, I would definitely recommend taking a break to experience this waterpark. Just as a reminder to yourself, don’t forget to pin this to your travel list π

P.S: I was invited by Adlabs Aquamagica to spend a day with my daughter at their park. However, the opinions expressed here are purely based on our own experience.
Popularly referred to as a Restless Ball of Energy. My Mom refuses to entertain my complaints about my equally restless daughter & assures my husband that I was born with a travel bug.
I am a Post-Graduate in Marketing by qualification and a travel blogger by passion. Besides travel, I enjoy photography and if you don’t find me at my desk, I would be out playing badminton or swimming or just running. I believe in planning for every long weekend through the year. And when I cannot travel physically, I travel virtually through this travel blog. My travel stories have also, got published on various websites and magazines including BBC Travel, Lonely Planet India and Jetwings. I have recently published my first book – When Places Come Alive – a collection of stories that are based on legends, landscapes, art and culture of a place which is available in both ebook and paperback format.

How is the height and weight checked in Aquamagica? What is required to be eligible for some rides?
I am not sure of the weight measure but the height indicators are there at every ride. Cheers
