12: Skyland Water Park


Among Lahore’s first amusement parks, Skyland started off in 1999 with just rides initially which included the world famous dodging cars. Spread over 50 acres, skyland started off with just ten rides and an admission fee of Rs.50 for adults and Rs.35 for children. It proved to be a great hit with the people of Lahore and its location at “Jallo More” allowed people to enjoy rides as long as they wanted and then move to Jallo Park to have a picnic and see wildlife.

Skyland reached its peak in 2001 but the downfall started right after with the opening of Sozo Water Park. The water park offered water rides like slides, swimming pools and similar stuff. Skyland also introduced its water park with massive slides, a curvy slide, tunnel slides and a funny waves pool.
The place is very well constructed overall and with grass and colorful rides, the park does hit you with a sense of amusement and excitement. 
There is also a haunted house which is pretty freaky.
