What is Imagica in Khopoli?
Imagica in Khopoli – officially Imagicaa, formerly Adlabs Imagica – is a 130-acre entertainment complex off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway in Raigad district, combining a Theme Park, a Water Park and a Snow Park with an on-site hotel. It is one of the best-known family destinations between Mumbai and Pune.
Imagica is the reason many first-time visitors come to Khopoli at all. Spread over about 130 acres near the Expressway, it bundles several parks into one destination: a Theme Park with roller coasters, rides and shows; a Water Park for the hot season; and an indoor Snow Park. An on-site hotel means you can turn a long day into a relaxed overnight. The branding has changed over the years – from Adlabs Imagica to Imagicaa – but locals and signboards still use both names.
Where is Imagica and how do you reach it?
Imagica is near Khopoli in Khalapur taluka, Raigad, just off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, roughly a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from both Mumbai and Pune depending on traffic. Most visitors drive or take a cab; the closest railway station is Khopoli.
The complex sits close to the Expressway, which makes self-drive and cabs the easiest options from either city. From Mumbai or Pune, plan for roughly 1.5 to 2 hours on the road, longer on busy weekends and holidays. Khopoli railway station, on the Central Railway Karjat-Khopoli branch, is the nearest rail point, with local transport onward. Whichever way you come, leaving early helps you reach at opening time and get the most out of the day.
Which parks are inside Imagicaa?
Imagicaa has three main parks: the Theme Park, with roller coasters, rides and shows; the Water Park, a Mediterranean-themed area of slides and pools that opened in 2014; and the Snow Park, an indoor zone built over about 30,000 sq ft with real snow and a tall snow dome.
Each park has its own character. The Theme Park is the headline act, carrying the big rides and roller coasters along with live shows and themed zones. The Water Park, opened in 2014, is the summer favourite, with slides and pools in a Mediterranean-style setting. The Snow Park is an indoor, sub-zero experience built over roughly 30,000 sq ft, with genuine snow and a tall snow dome – a novelty in this climate. Which parks are included depends on your ticket and the season, so check before booking.
| Park | What it is | Best for |

| Theme Park | Roller coasters, rides and shows | Thrill-seekers, all ages |
| Water Park | Slides and pools (opened 2014) | Hot-season visits |

How do you plan a full day at Imagica?
To plan a full day at Imagica, arrive at opening time, choose one or two parks rather than all three, tackle the popular rides first, and keep the Water Park for the afternoon heat. Carry a change of clothes, sunscreen and water, and confirm timings in advance.
A day goes quickly, so a little planning helps. Decide in advance whether your trip is a Theme Park day, a Water Park day, or a split – trying to do everything leaves you rushed. Reach at opening to ride the big attractions before queues build, break for lunch at one of the on-site restaurants, and shift to the Water Park when the afternoon warms up. Pack a towel and dry clothes, sunscreen and a refillable water bottle, and check the day’s show timings when you enter. Families with small children should note ride height limits.
How much do tickets cost and what are the timings?
Imagica’s ticket prices and timings vary by park, by season and between weekdays and weekends, and are often cheaper when booked online in advance. Because they change frequently, check the current rates, combo options and opening hours on the official Imagicaa channels rather than relying on older figures.
Imagica uses different tickets for the Theme Park, Water Park and Snow Park, along with combo passes, and prices shift with the season and demand. Online advance booking is usually the better-value route, and timings differ between parks and days of the week. We deliberately avoid quoting specific prices here, because published figures date quickly and vary by offer. For an accurate plan and budget, look up the current rates and hours on the official Imagicaa website before you set out.
When is the best time to visit Imagica?
The Water Park is most enjoyable in the heat of summer, the Theme Park and Snow Park are comfortable through winter (November to February), and weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends and holidays. The monsoon pairs well with Khopoli’s nearby waterfalls.
Season shapes the experience. Summer is peak Water Park time, when the slides and pools draw the biggest crowds. Winter is the most comfortable overall for the Theme Park and the Snow Park. Weekdays and non-holiday periods mean shorter queues. If you are visiting in the monsoon, Imagica pairs naturally with Khopoli’s green surroundings and the nearby Zenith Waterfall, letting you mix a park day with a short nature trip on the same weekend.
