Dubbed as the largest indoor themed park, the vast facility is a favourite haunt for both children and their parents.
Besides loads of entertainment and fun for the little ones, Modhesh Fun City also provides a whole lot of activities and services.
Equipped with two salons, a studio and a 4D cinema hall, it is a place where families can spend hours together. Huge parking lot with ample free parking is also an incentive as visitors do not have to worry about wasting time looking for space for their cars.
The parking lot can accommodate 2,000 cars at any given time.
