Appu Ghar, New Delhi, India

Appu Ghar

New Delhi, India

Appu Ghar in New Delhi, India, was the country's first amusement park, opened in 1984 in Pragati Maidan to celebrate the 1982 Asian Games and named after the elephant mascot Appu, spanning 15 acres with classic rides like the roller coaster, Giant Wheel, Columbus Jhoola swing, Big Splash water slide, and Haunted House that thrilled families for decades.

It featured kid-friendly options such as bumper cars, carousels, and a 3.5-acre water park with pools and waves, plus snow games and the Tower of Thrills, drawing crowds with affordable pay-per-ride tickets amid its vibrant, nostalgic atmosphere.

The park closed in 2008 due to a Supreme Court ruling returning the land to government use for infrastructure, leaving fond memories though a namesake version later opened in Gurugram.
