Did you think Patna was only famous for its ancient ruins, religious places and political turmoil?
Not true. Because the city also knows how to have fun eating out, picnics in its many gardens and absolutely amazing days at water parks. Although there’s no dearth of things to explore while in Patna, if you’re traveling with kids during summer then water parks is the way to go. (While the kids jump around splashing in water, mommy and daddy get to put up their feet and enjoy those two minutes they never get!) And even if you weren’t, nothing stops you from turning into a kid for a day. Right?
Patna boasts of two marvelous water parks: Funtasia Island and Hungama World. One is within Patna and the other on the Patna-Bihta Road, just a few kilometers out of the city. Both water parks feature many rides, are well-kept and organized. And safe!
