EsselWorld

EsselWorld was a large-scale amusement park located in Gorai, Mumbai, situated adjacent to the Water Kingdom water park. It functioned as a destination for rides and themed entertainment. However, the park has been closed since April 2022 and is currently unavailable for visitors.

Getting There

The park is located in the Gorai region of Mumbai. Travelers from the city center typically travel by road or use a combination of local transport and a ferry to reach the Gorai area. Depending on traffic conditions in Mumbai, the journey generally takes several hours.

Time Allocation

When the park was operational, visitors typically spent a full day on-site to experience the various attractions and rides. Because the site is currently closed, no visiting time is required.

When to Visit

Mumbai's climate is most favorable during the cooler months from November to February. During peak holiday seasons and weekends, the area surrounding the park and the ferry terminals often become heavily crowded.

Nearby Attractions

While the park is closed, the surrounding area offers several other points of interest. You can combine a trip to this region with visits to the following sites:

  • Mandapeshwar Caves (5.2km)
  • Aksa Beach (6.2km)
  • Salsette (10.5km)
  • Kanheri Caves (10.9km)
