About Aquatica

An 8-acre water park has very recently come up near Kolkata on 22 July, 2000. Known as Aquatica, this theme park offers visitors a cool respite from the heat and grime of city life.

"With artificial waves buffeting you from all sides, tornadoes and dance floors, all ready to whip up a wet dream, Aquatica is the ultimate cool hangout," says Sushovan from Bhavanipur College.

The park easily accommodates 5,000 people. An artificial river meanders through the park. Visitors are allowed to swim and wade in it. The river water is recycled every hour, keeping it crystal clear and welcoming. Aquatica features great rides and adventures such as the Black Hole, where one enters a dark hole from a great height and emerges at the ground level. Tower No. 1 - a 100 feet structure of convoluted tubes - whisks your adrenaline as you slide past twists and turns at blinding speeds. Comic scenes will awaits one at Tornado - a smaller version of Tower No. 1 - with fewer turns and more inclines. One can also opt for the Slide, and enter the water from a great height after sliding down on special mats.

The water of Aquatica is just five feet deep which is enough for the Kolkatans to ward off their inhibitions. The artificially created waves are the best in India and are making quite a splash. One may also bask in the surf on the placid blue water or enjoying rafting and spinning in mountain rivers.

Enchanting Attraction

The main attraction of Aquatica is Aqua Wave Pool because of its changing waves. It is a unique spot with the ambience of a leach sans the sun on a sweltering summer day. Around the pool, you can enjoy with car rides which is especially for the kids. Surin suits, tube slides, body slides etc. are available on hire.

Most popular spot among the adults is the Cyclone Pool, better known as the Tornado. Its chief attraction lies in its precarious nature and the possible risks involved (apparently). It is a sweeping fall through a huge tumbler leading into a large pool.

Another place of cool 'masti' is the 'Aqua Dance' or the discotheque on water. Fountains are springing from the small dance floor, where hundreds of soggy bodies jostle with each other as one drenched mass with the sound of non-stopmsic. Fashion shows and Dandia parties are also held regularly.

Within the park there is the 'Aqua Caffe, a restuarants. It serves pure vegetarian food like rice, dal, jablis (sweetmeat).

Aquatica, the only water theme park of its kind in Calcutta is the latest cool joint that has hit the city. This new cool hangout is making quite a sensation nowadays. This water park is situated in a remote place- far away from the din and bustle and the tumultuous throng of the city. Aquatica lies about 6kms from Nicco Park. A narrow strip of land with sharp undulations leads one from Nicco Park, past Rajarhat Bridge to Kochpukur and ends in front of the huge archway of the water kingdom. The mammoth archway has three small decorative towers. Colourful flags are fluttering on top which adds a different dimension to the park. Lalit Agarwal and Ram Chandra, the men who launched 'Vishal Garments' so successfully in the city, have put up Aquatica.
