Shishu Park Visiting Hours & Ticket Price

Shishu Park is the first children’s amusement park in Bangladesh. The park was built in 1979 on 15 acres of land on the northern part of Sohrawardy Uddyan. During the 80s and 90s it was one of the most appealing places in Dhaka city. However, with the passage of time it has lost its old charm. Its look and infrastructure have deteriorated due to lack of proper maintenance and timely financing. At present most of the rides are old and worn-out with an increased amount of vulnerability. They frequently malfunction and immediately need to be replaced to avoid fatal consequences. Moreover, many private amusement parks such as, Fantasy Kingdom, Nandan Park, and Wonderland have cut off huge visitors from Shishu Park. Nowadays the park sees remarkable crowds on Fridays and public holidays only. Nonetheless, with all its drawbacks it is still a good and affordable amusement park for the middle class people. The park needs urgent attention to restore its old glory.
