The launch marks the culmination of a decade-long journey that began with an MoU signed with the Government of Tamil Nadu in September 2015. Despite delays during the COVID-19 period, the project was completed with continued government support and timely facilitation of approvals. Developed with an investment of Rs 6.11 billion, the park is expected to generate 1,000 direct jobs.

Wonderla Chennai features 43 world-class rides across thrill, family, kids and water categories and can accommodate up to 6,500 visitors per day. Ticket prices start at Rs 1,489, with early-bird online discounts and concessions for college students with valid ID, along with seasonal and group offers.

Speaking at the inauguration, Arun K.

With Wonderla Chennai opening to the public tomorrow, we look forward to welcoming guests from across the region and building a long-term partnership with the state.”

Situated along the Mahabalipuram corridor, a major tourism destination, the park is expected to boost the region’s family entertainment appeal and support ancillary economic activity.

The park incorporates sustainability features including a 3.75 crore litre rainwater harvesting system, 1,000 KW solar panels (Phase 2), 32,000 sq m of green zones with 1,000 native trees and extensive natural ventilation and locally sourced materials.
