Situated along the Avissawella Road, in Sri Lanka, is the countrys first amusement park that caters to both locals and foreigners. The journey to Leisure World is about and hour outside of Colombo and its a great way of spending the weekend.
The park comprises of dry and wet rides and is open even during the countrys holidays such as the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, Christmas etc. The park is usually closed during Mondays or Poya days- these days bare a religious significance for Buddhists and are denoted by the full moon.
The park compound stretches across 52 acres of land of which the parks owners have developed on 27 acres of land, while every year the park adds on new features and new rides to keep visitors coming back.
While the wet rides are manned by trained instructors and life guards, the pools are quite secure even for the youngest members of the family. A part from this a highlight of the park is the simulated forest environment that is recreated by the Parks proprietors.
The forest houses around 50 species of plants that can be located only in the countrys treasured rainforest called the Sinharaja Forest. The forest is part of a drive by the owners to educate families and their members on the value of the local fauna, and is becoming quite popular.
Very recently among the wet rides the park introduced the Aqua Trail which comprises of six coloured tubes which trail into a base pool at the bottom. Many of these rides and interactive activities are perhaps the first to be experienced in the country.
Aside from the rides the park also has a game area with all possible variety of games such as Pirate Revenge, Time Crisis and Family Bowl. Each game like in any arcade is activated separately, through the use of a key which is granted at every purchase to play.
