Amusement Parks

Muscat has a fair share of amusement parks to fully engage the little ones. The most popular is Funworld at Qurum, which is easily identifiable by its brightly lit ferris wheel. This is built on the lines of a traditional fairground with Carousels, Rides, Games, Snack bars and Bouncing castles.

Next to Funworld is the Rose Garden also known as the Qurum Natural Park. This spot is ideal for a lazy evening out when you can stroll along the walkways and just take in the scenery. A Reptile and Bird park has recently been opened and is another attraction. Be sure not to miss the waterfalls.

Located just before the Muttrah Corniche is Riyam Park, another favourite spot for children with many rides. Across from Riyam, is Kalbooh Park built fronting a sea inlet. This is ideal for brisk evening walks while the children could have fun on the swings and slides.

Closer to the Airport is Naseem Gardens, another well laid out park offering rides. A little further down is the newly opened Seeb Aqua Park, which is thoroughly enjoyable during the hot summer months.

Further down from the Oman Exhibition Centre is The Go-Kart track. Children and adults can have a really great time here.

Throughout the city there are the Sindbad Amusement Parks which offer games, Rides and plenty of fun. Check out the one behind Spinneys' supermarket, which is especially built for children under the age of five years.

Game Arcades.

Muscat has plenty to offer as far as Game Arcades go. Most Shopping Malls have one or more. Look out for the ones at Al Shatti Plaza in the plush suburb of Shatti al Qurum, at the CCC or Capital Commercial Complex, Al Harthy complex or the one in O.C. Centre near the Ruwi roundabout.
