Whether you are seeking the thrill of the 'Roller Coaster' or a peaceful walk through the landscaped paths, the park provides a comprehensive recreational experience for all age groups.
History & context
Established in the early 2000s, Fantasy Kingdom was developed by the Concord Group to provide a modern, world-class entertainment facility in Bangladesh. Located in Ashulia, Savar, it was the first park of its kind in the country to incorporate international safety standards and thematic design. Over the years, it has expanded to include a water park, a resort, and a heritage park, becoming a central hub for domestic tourism and a significant landmark in the development of the country's leisure industry. It reflects the growing demand for modern recreational spaces within the Dhaka metropolitan fringe.
Getting there
Located in Ashulia, Savar, the park is approximately 30 kilometers from Dhaka city center. You can reach it by taking a direct bus from Gabtoli or Mohakhali heading towards Baipail. Alternatively, app-based ride-sharing services or private cars via the Tongi-Ashulia Road are the most convenient options, typically taking 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic.
