Cosmo World

What the Cosmo World amusement park lacks in size, it makes up for in character. Take on the wet and wild roller coasters, tip toe through a haunted mansion, experience a virtual reality ride and try your hand at the arcade and fair-style games. Families with little ones will love the Kids Carnival Zone where children can have a blast riding on cute panda cars, the merry-go-round and cycle monorail. Cosmo World also offers a food court filled with classic fare foods like hot dogs, french fries, crepes and ice cream. And a trip to Cosmo World wouldn’t be complete without a ride on the park’s iconic Ferris wheel. Another unique feature of this amusement park: admission is free! Rides are pay-as-you-go, or, for a discounted rate, you can pay for a book of tickets.

Visit in the winter months to skate on the outdoor ice skating rink.
