During our last weekend trip to Mangalore, one of the places we had shortlisted was Manasa Water and Amusement park for our kids to enjoy. Though, my kids enjoyed it, we found it average and small.
Location:
The park is located at Pilkula Nisargdhama which is about 10 kms away from the main city towards east of Mangalore at Moodushedde. There is a bus # 3 which can take you to this place, howeevr we opted for a Rick and it cost us about 500 bucks for an up-down trip. (The rickshawalla said, since its out of city limits they charge 1.5 times of the actual meter reading.)
While we were not sure whether to barge in, my 7 year daughter had made up her mind, so we decided to get in.
Fees: we were told there is an entry fee and the rides are unlimited (which is a standard practice for any water park), however since we had our second daughter just about a year and my wife would not indulge in any water sports we requested to waive her off, however they were not ready to budge. Finally, after having spoken to the so-called Customer Relations Officer at the entrance gate, he offered an discount (Rate for Senior Citizens). Nevertheless, we had to agree on the deal.
Adult=300/-, Children(based on height, upto 4 ft)=200/- Sr. Citizen=170/-
The Park & the Rides:
This is a very small park and not an amusement park as such. I could count about 5-6 rides it offered along with kids pool and rain dance floor. Since, it was a Saturday, the place was kind of crowded, however manageable. There were guards and trained staff at every ride and pool who took good care of you/kids and the gears.
After each ride, one had to carry the tube all the way to the top at the start -point of ride, which was quite tiring.
Swimming costumes are provided at a nominal price and refundable deposit. Changing rooms, toilet facilities are good.
Overall, I would say its an average mini water park, good for kids/youngsters where you can spend about 2-3 hrs of fun time.
Tip: there is a restaurant outside the park, serving tea/snacks, in case you are hungry after those rides. The place is quiet and nice and the restaurant is very spacious with good choice of evening snacks. Service was nice and humble.
The park is closed on Mondays.
