Seven Wonders Dream Park in Pune, Maharashtra, India

Review of Seven Wonders Dream Park   3 stars

Reviewed on March 21, 2018

One overcast evening, my husband and I visited the Seven Wonders park at Sahakarnagar, Pune. It has fibreglass replicas of the Taj Mahal of India, the Colosseum of Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Stone Henge, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Eiffel Tower of Paris and the Statue of Liberty of USA. 

The Taj Mahal, Agra, India


 The Statue of Liberty - New York, U.S.A
   


The Eiffel Tower - France

The Stonehenge - England, U.K
       
The Colosseum - Rome
The Leaning Tower - Pisa, Italy

The Pyramids - Egypt

All the replicas are detailed, scaled-down versions of the originals; and are quaint yet breathtaking. Several volunteers have been deputed to prevent the over-enthusiastic tourists, especially the tiny tots, from touching or climbing over the exhibits.
The greenery in the park is refreshing as is the stroll through the neat pathways through the park leading towards the exhibits.

The other attractions are Mowgli in a jungle, as a mural; a statue where one could peep through the face and get oneself photographed and a 4D show.

The 4D show isn't very appealing, as the visuals are blurred, the acoustics are jarring and the tremors of the seating platform are more uncomfortable than enjoyable.
Our main grouse was about the stinking, unmaintained toilets. There was no running water, no proper latch or light. Only one each, is available for ladies and gents.
It was as if we roamed a pristine, wondrous world and came back to Earth with a bang!
A canteen with fresh snacks and ice-cream would be most welcome here.
A tourist can hail a cab or auto from Pune station or anywhere in Pune, to this park. Just ask the driver to take you to Sahakarnagar near Swargate. The park is straight down Panchami restaurant's lane; opposite Rajiv Gandhi E-learning School.

Date of experience: September 2017
