  • Magic Land (Wonderland) Park: The landscape lends itself to the charm of this amusement park at Kukwaba Hills in Wuse, Abuja.It was formerly called Wonderland Park but it is now known as Magicland Park. The rolling hills and green vegetation act as great backdrops for the mechanical structures of the park. It has leisure gardens for relaxation, games & rides for all ages, a restaurant, a clinic centre, cafes, administrative blocks and shops.
Now that you know, we encourage you to spend a day at any of these places. A lot of Amusement Parks have lost their glory over the years like Trans Wonderland Amusement park in Ibadan, Ogun State and Funplex Amusement Park in Ketu, Lagos State. Google business listed a place as exciting as Apapa Amusement Park in Lagos State as permanently closed on because of poor patronage. The more we patronize existing ones, the longer they can stay in business to serve more people. Is there any amusement park in your town/state that we didn’t mention?
