If you’ve been waiting for a fun escape with family or friends, here’s your moment: Wet’nJoy Lonavala is set to reopen its amusement park section from 1st October 2025. While the waterpark side runs across seasons, the amusement park often takes a break during monsoon months. Its reopening marks the return of roller-coasters, family rides, and all that dry-land thrill you’ve been missing. It’s exciting because:
- You get two-in-one fun — water + amusement — in a single visit.
- After the monsoon, the weather cools, making outdoor rides more pleasant.
- New attractions or refreshed rides are likely to debut with the new season.
So if you’re into adventure, fun, excitement, this reopening is your cue to plan a getaway!
