What kind of vacation is complete without an amusement park, especially when you’ve come on holiday with a child? Turkey has one too. The amusement park in Antalya is a sort of Disneyland with a Middle Eastern twist. But let’s start from the beginning…
General Information
So, why look for a hotel with an amusement park in Antalya when the city itself boasts the massive Aktur Amusement Park, established in 1997? In 2017, some of its attractions underwent renovation and were even removed from the park, but only locals might have noticed their absence. By early 2018, the park once again began delighting tourists with a full array of extreme and not-so-extreme attractions.

A distant view of the main entrance
As of 2025, the amusement park boasted around 45 attractions. This may not compare with the largest theme parks in the world, but it certainly outshines any hotel-based amusement park in Turkey.

In front of the Haunted Room
The park operates from 5:00 PM on weekdays and from 3:00 PM on weekends, closing at 2:00 AM. Why such unusual hours? Likely, there are several reasons, including:
- Climate considerations (it gets extremely hot during the day);
- The dazzling evening illumination;
- The park’s popularity among local youth.
The amusement park is located across from the “Migros 5M” shopping center, or to be precise, directly across the street (you simply cross the pedestrian bridge).
How to Get There
If your hotel is located in Antalya, you should catch any bus heading to the Migros supermarket, and from there, remember: cross the pedestrian bridge to the historic castle (the main entrance to the park).
Park Address: Pınarbashi, Atatürk Boulevard, No. 12, Konyaaltı, Antalya. See the map below.
Near the amusement park is the seafront, yet oddly enough, the sea is not visible from the park’s highest point.
If you’re vacationing in Kemer, Belek, or Göynük, take any bus heading to Antalya—the route passes by Migros. However, if you live further away (Tekirova, Side), consider whether such a trip is worth it for a few photos and videos that you might never look at again after returning.
Prices
The park’s prices are not among the highest when compared to other amusement parks in the country. On average, a single ride costs between 5 and 15 Turkish Lira. Payment is made using credits rather than cash, with a conversion rate of 1:1 (1 credit equals 1 Turkish Lira). These credits are loaded onto a special plastic card, which costs 2 Lira and is purchased at the entrance.
By the way, we do not recommend loading a large sum onto the card immediately, as withdrawing funds is not allowed (except for the refund of the card’s cost). For example, if you load 200 Lira onto the card and spend 150, the remaining 50 Lira either go to the park’s fund or can be used for another visit.
The card can be topped up with a minimum of 50 Lira and a maximum of 200 Lira. Based on our experience, 100–150 Lira is usually sufficient for a family of three. Of course, this may vary depending on individual needs, but in a typical scenario, this is the case.

There are many such figures in the park
Attractions
Regardless of what anyone says about the stunning landscapes, the park’s appeal primarily lies in the emotions it evokes in visitors as they enjoy its various attractions. In fact, all online reviews directly reflect this experience.
As mentioned earlier, the park boasts over 40 attractions suitable for both very young children and adult visitors.
Let’s start with the attractions for little ones, which include:
- Numerous swings;
- Carousels;
- Rail rides;
- Laugh Room.
Naturally, the Laugh Room is enjoyable for both young children and their parents. As for the rail rides, these consist of several miniature trains and other vehicles designed to resemble various forms of transport, moving slowly in circles. The children are thrilled, and the parents can take a few moments to relax and enjoy some quiet—if such a thing can be found in Aktur Park.
The star of the amusement park is the Ferris wheel, which is accessible to both adults and children (of course, accompanied by their parents). The main difference between the Turkish Ferris wheel and those elsewhere is that with one ticket here, you can complete three rotations instead of just one—an extravagance considered wasteful by any Europenian businessman in the attractions industry, yet that’s how it is.

Night view of the Ferris wheel
It would be an overstatement to call the Ferris wheel the largest in Turkey, but it does offer a splendid view of Antalya, especially in the evening when the city lights up in all colors, and the wheel itself boasts impressive illumination.
For older kids, the following attractions are available:
- Cars on magnetic cushions;
- Jump (bouncing cabins);
- Twister Roller Coaster;
- Dragon Coaster;
- Haunted House.
Both the Twister Coaster and The Dragon are small roller coasters featuring both straight sections and steep drops. Children scream with delight, while some adults find them genuinely frightening.
For adults, the attractions are those that do not admit children—and sometimes even teenagers. These include:
- Crazy Dance Ride (cabins moving wildly in different directions, on the verge of colliding or toppling over—thrilling);
- Free Fall Tower (a rapid descent from the height of a five-story building—terrifying? For us, absolutely!);
- The Spinning Tower (a massive spire that rotates at breakneck speed, reaching a height comparable to an 18-story building at its peak—truly frightening!);
- Viking Ship (not the scariest, but quite an exhilarating ride, featuring a huge boat rocking from side to side);
- Adrenaline Max (a swinging and spinning contraption that might not look intimidating at first glance, but certainly is after experiencing it).
After your nerves—and even your vocal cords—have been pushed to the limit, you can relax in one of the park’s cafes, enjoy some ice cream or a cool drink, gather your courage, and continue conquering the peaks of your fear, no matter how pretentious that may sound…
