The main attraction at Nerul's Wonders Park is of course the miniature sculptures of the 'Seven wonders of the world'. It is these replicas from which the park has got its name.
All of these miniatures are placed next to each other and are situated towards the left side after entering from the main gate.
The seven wonders include:
  • Taj Mahal, Agra, India
  • Collosseum, Rome, Italy
  • Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
  • Machu Picchu, Peru, South America
  • Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico
  • Petra - Al Khajneh, Ma'an, Jordan
  • Great Wall of China, on the Chinese border
Metal plaques have been placed near each of these sculptures that gives all the basic information about each of the seven wonders.
Hi Tech Joy Rides
Maximum joy ride tickets available for sale every day is 1500 only. So those who arrive very late may not get a ticket for their favourite ride. Rides are available only in the evenings from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
The ticket cost per person per ride is Rs.25
Children's play area with latest equipments
Other facilities at the park include the Jogging and Cycling track, mostly used by those who come early in the morning, and a very spacious Amphi-Theatre that can seat a 1000 people. There is plenty of clean and green space at the place even if you just want to have a stroll.
Lakes and the Lazy River
Toy train (or call it mini-train if you like) is one of the major attractions of the place, considering that such a facility is not available anywhere else in Navi Mumbai at least.
Children as well as adults are welcome to enjoy the ride. The ticket costs Rs.25 per person for 1 round, and the train passes through several stations on its way such as 'Traffic Land' and 'Adventure Land'.
However note that there is a very high demand for toy-train rides, and hence those who don't reach early in the evening may not always be able to get a ticket.
The last time when I went to Wonders Park (it was on Tuesday, 1-Jan-2013), the tickets had already been sold out by 5:30 PM in the evening. Of course the situation may not be the same on all days. Maximum toy train tickets available per day are 500 only.
Beautiful open space and creative sculpturesSummary:
All things considered, my view is that this park at Nerul is definitely worth a visit. It's undoubtedly one of the most attractive public places in Navi Mumbai, where people can easily enjoy for at least a couple of hours.
Update:
Got a chance to visit Wonders park for the second time on 12-Jan-2013. This time it was with my family. My 5 year old son simply loved the various equipments at the children's play area, as also the toy train ride.
There were a couple of new additions that I noticed this time round. The giant chess set inside the park was now fully functional, for those who wanted to enjoy playing real life-size chess (this by the way is free, absolutely no charges), and the other addition was there was the horse-cart (tonga-wala) waiting outside the main entrance for people who wanted a have a quick horse cart ride.
