- Dhadkan Sabke Dil Ki: This enormous pink slide simulates the motion of a waterfall. You may ride on twin tubes with a buddy or your significant other and fast descend the steep slope, feeling your pulse skip a beat and gaining an adrenaline rush, before coming to a small stop at the first waterfall. The slide then eases off as it goes down the second hill into the water.
- Ding Dong Sing Song: Ding Dong Sing Song is a pair of bright blue slides that twirl repeatedly before dumping riders into a shared pool of water.
- Labak Zabak Matak Slide: This tunnel slide with a sky-blue colour might be extremely frightful because you can’t see anything outside. However, feeling the rush of racing through a spinning water tunnel is worthwhile.
- Rainbow Slides: Painted in white, yellow, deep blue, green, red, and light blue, this collection of slides and tunnels is a sight to behold. Some of these slides have an open top, while others are tunnels with many bends and loops to add to the sense of adventure.
- Rim-Jhim Baarish Hall: As its name implies, Rim-Jhim Baarish Hall has a nightclub vibe with a rain dance floor. High-octane music played within the hall, light effects, and, most importantly, the fake rain produced by sprinklers on the roof all contribute to the energising ambience. Here, you and your pals can dance till you’re satisfied.
- Ulat Palat: This collection of four contiguous slides has a total of four cascades that increase the strength of gravity’s effects as you slide downward. Together with four other pals, you may slide down this slide while screaming during the descent. Red, yellow, blue, and green are the colours of the 4 cascading slides.
- Wave Pool: The Wave Pool is for everyone who enjoys swimming and the mild water tumbling sensation. This pool uses artificial air that is blasted into the water to simulate the motion of the sea. Families can utilise this space in original ways to engage in bonding activities or simply to unwind and receive massages.
- Har Har Ganga: Har Har Ganga is a play on the war cries of this mythical character, Har Har Mahadev, and features the visage of the Hindu god of Shiva. This ride at Suraj Water Park is really a fibre cave with waterfalls along the length of the Shiva idol’s full face.
- Shiv Ganga: Shiv Ganga is a huge slide that numerous people may ride together that begins from the torso of the Hindu deity Shiva. It is another mythologically themed water ride. The surroundings were patterned by Mount Kailash, which is located in the Uttarakhand region of the Himalayas in North India.

Suraj Water Park: Facts
There are several interesting facts about this water park.
- The Labak, Zabak, and Matak slide is made more manageable by its height of 100-foot and the fact that the descent is accomplished over a distance of 350-foot. The Nanha Tal water slide, which translates as “Tiny Lake” in Hindi, is advised for children since it replicates the same sensation on a much smaller size.
- At the entrance of the water-themed amusement park are two enormous statues of mermaids that are 24-foot tall and 40-foot long.
- Shiva is revered in Suraj Water Park. The names of two of its slides—Har Har Ganga and Shiv Ganga—make this clear. Even the fibre cave is decorated with paintings of the mythological Natraj, Shiva’s dancing avatar. To reference the urban legend that several rivers originate from the deity’s hair on Mount Kailash, some of the water slides even start from Shiva’s dreadlocks.
- In 1999, the Ministry of Tourism awarded this water park the title of “Pride of Maharashtra.” Additionally, it received the “International Golden Pony Award,” and two years later, in 2001, it was named “Resort of the Year.”
- This water park’s fibre cave, which is 103 feet, is the world’s biggest man-made cave.
- The Lazy River and Crazy River attractions combine with the Wave Pool, with the former offering greater thrills.
