Memorable freezing experience
With the entry fee priced at Rs 250 for adults and Rs 200 for children for a one-hour memorable ‘freezing’ experience, Snow World, the first ever snow theme park in the country, is all set to enthrall the visitors and the denizens of Hyderabad from Monday.

Located at the heart of the city, beside the historical city’s famous landmarks of Hussain Sagar and Indira park, the 17,000 sqft family entertainment centre is constructed on a sprawling two-acre area.


But is there any skiing?
Besides housing a gamut of fun-packed features including fun rides, games, snow-view restaurant, indoor go-carting(to be shortly added) and other attractions, the theme park is designed to accommodate 300 persons at a time with a maximum capacity of 2,400 people a day.

Briefing the media on the launch of their new theme park, M Thimmaiah Gupta, the chairman, and M Venkateswara Rao, the managing director of Ocean Park Multitech Limited, the promoters of India’s third largest Ocean Park which was started in 1997 at Hyderabad, hoped the same success with the new venture.

The Cryozone
Designed by renowned architect Nisish Roy, the snow dome area, which is called the ‘cryozone’, features kids snow play area, snow wars, snow tube slide, ice bumping cars, merry-go-round, ice skating and ice sculptures.

The snow playground houses a 300-degree mountain horizon with snow and blue sky. Artificial alpine huts, trees and animals placed around the area completes the winter snow experience.

Visitors will pass through 2-3 zones with decreasing temperatures before being introduced to the cryozone which has a minus 5 degrees temperature for proper acclimatisation, besides being served with hot soup and special suits, the promoters said.
