EsselWorld, one of the largest amusement parks in India, celebrated its 27th anniversary this month, with the resort launching a series of winter-themed celebrations.

On December 24, Ashok Goel, vice chairman and managing director of EsselWorld and the neighbouring Water Kingdom waterpark, cut the cake to signal the start of a week-long party.

Throughout the week, the Mumbai resort has hosted its Xmas Carnival. Live DJs have been playing at the park, joined by street artists, costumed characters and an acrobatic dance troupe.

“We are very proud of our rich 27 years of legacy that has always provided a memorable experience to approximately 29 million visitors,” said park CEO, Shirish Deshpande.

“Our mission is to redefine the means of entertainment and above all meet the fast-changing consumer needs for active entertainment. We aim to become one of the most favoured destinations for corporate parties and employee engagement programmes going forward.”
