There’s no denying the fact that we’ve all had our shares of theme parks in our life, and most commonly they’re just the same every single time – cotton candies, colourful aura of abstentious architecture and the never-ending ques. And we often tend to think that that’s the stereotype and there’s never going to be the one that stands out. But what you might have missed in realising is that there are lists of other theme parks that come right off as bizarre when come to think of it, yet interesting in their own special way.

Theme Parks From Around the World
Here we’ve compiled a list of such ten bizarre Theme Parks so that you don’t have to go through any trouble.
10. Dracula’s Land (Transylvania, Romania)
It is not a theme park in the first place, but a region that has gained a certain amount of tourist attraction for the reason being of home-place of well-known personnel – Count Dracula itself. People of Transylvania have adapted this fiction legend as a part of their life and you can concur that from the evidences of creepy castles and prisons adorning the city (which was the inspiration for Bram’s Stoker). Plus, you can also check out snowboarding.
9. Napoleon-Land (South of Paris, France)
If you’re a war-monger, then you would surely be excited by the couple of events that are going to took place in the next few years; for example – proposal of new French Theme park ‘Napoleon-Land’ which is about to set grounds in 2017. This won’t just enact as another museum for war historic enactment but also company a set of other fun-trivial activities like water shows. There are also talks of setting up a ride in which tourists can ski over the frozen bodies of dead soldiers on the battlefield. Exciting enough?
8. Alien Apex Resort (Roswell, New Mexico, USA)
You could’ve guessed alright by then, since we mentioned Roswell and you’ve arrived right – we’re talking ETs. And UFOs. Roswell has been an attraction for a wide range of travellers around the world who flock here to catch a glimpse of those extra-terrestrials. And that’s why the setting of Alien Apex Resort makes perfect sense, that too in the middle of the city. And we are certainly not going to miss that, if it ever gets on the ground.
7. Holy Land Experience (Orlando, Florida, USA)
This counts pretty much as another Disneyland set out for religious enthusiasts on the grounds of Orlando, Florida. It serves as an educational monastery for people who want to learn quite a deal about Christianity while reliving their youth in the scenic beauty. It is also home to certain religious artefacts and holy manuscripts for public display.
6. Republic of Children (Argentina)
If you seriously believed that theme parks are all about cotton candies and aura of colours. Then, this theme park right here is footed to break all these stereotypes, and concentrating more on preaching children about the ethics of the Republic. It has seen its own set of history being built half a century ago and covers a sprawling fifty-five acres of land. From a distance, it seems like a small student council which is true to some extent as the officials are elected by the local students. It is also said that this was Walt’s inspiration for Disneyland.
5. Tiger Balm Gardens (Singapore)
Let us tell you this first-hand; this is not the kind of fun ride you would like to take in a jolly mood. As the park contains some of the most bizarre and astoundingly disturbing statutes that will take you right back to your worst nightmares. There are scary attractions likes Ten stages of Hell, statues of people being mutilated and crushed to bones in ponds of blood screaming for a little bit of mercy. Perfect vacation place, we say
4. Mukluk Land (Alaska, USA)
If you’re wondering what could possibly be interesting in a place with a name such bizarre, well you’ve been underestimating already – its huge attraction is a giant Alaska cabbage. Yeah, you heard us right. And that’s not the end of the list; there are a lot of oddities that surround Alaska which have been showcased in the theme park. Some other allures of the park are skeeball and miniature golf. And cabbage, obviously.
3. Amora (London, England)
If you’ve had enough of the solicited theme parks with mediocre amusement, and want something out of the blue then you should head already to Amora – the sex-themed park. And yet we can’t fail to mention that there are no rides in here, sorry to disappoint if you know what we mean. Alas, there are so many adventurous statues and exhibits like Spankometer and Prostate finder that can get your hormones on a high level. And as Amora is strictly described as ‘hands-on experience’, we recommend setting your hand sanitizer by side as you’re going to need plenty.
2. Dwarf Empire (Kunming, China)
We love our own set of controversial tourist locations, and so adds up to the enlistment of such places of Amora is Dwarf Empire situated in China. As the name suggests it is a Dwarf theme park where more than hundreds of Dwarves live along in tiny mushroom-shaped homes and perform for tourists in range of ways like songs, dances, and aerobics. Visitors are allowed to walk around freely and mingle up with dwarves. People often feel uneasy about their experiences here, but to the fact that dwarf residents often earn more than other citizens of Kunming doesn’t really ads up to their points.
1. Abashiri Prison (Hokkaido, Japan)
And that brings to the most bizarre fun place you’ve heard in your life – yes we’re talking of a prison here, a notorious one at that. Abashiri is a fully committed theme park prison which was once upon a time famous for its hellish conditions now converted to a la va dida. They have their own animatronic guards and prisoners going about their daily chores and routines which are displeasing yet intrigue to human eyes. Yet, if you want to reconsider the choice and want to experience a real prison, the replaced Abashiri is just by the road and operative.
