By the Nexara Holidays travel desk · 2 min read

Theme parks are a highlight for many families. Here is how the main destinations compare for travellers from India.

Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore on Sentosa is the easiest theme park trip from South India, with a short flight and lots of other attractions. See Singapore.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Dubai has indoor parks that are perfect in the hot months, plus seasonal attractions like Global Village. Abu Dhabi's Yas Island has Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World. See Dubai.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park are a compact combination, with Macau nearby. See Hong Kong.

Japan

Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, and Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, are world-class. Japan suits families with older children who can manage trains.

Malaysia

Genting Highlands has theme parks in a cool mountain setting near Kuala Lumpur.

Australia's Gold Coast

Movie World, Sea World and Dreamworld, plus beaches and wildlife parks. See Gold Coast & Brisbane.

Orlando, USA

The theme park capital of the world, with Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. A long trip from India, best for a big family holiday. See Orlando.

Tips

• Buy tickets online in advance and check for combination tickets.

• Use the parks' apps for waiting times.
• Check height restrictions for rides.
• Plan rest days between park days.

Which suits your family?

For a first theme park trip with young children, Singapore or Dubai are easiest. For Disney fans with older children, Hong Kong or Tokyo. For a once-in-a-lifetime trip, Orlando. Combine parks with beaches, wildlife or culture so the holiday is more than queues.
