After a day’s work, it is always good to go in an amusement park or theme park for entertainment and have a good time. With the world becoming so stressful, starting from public or working areas, it is nice to escape all the pressures of daily life at least once in a while with friends and family to a park. Where else is it nice to spend a day with enjoyment of large number of people than in a park? You cannot compare City Park or a playground with an amusement park since it is more advanced in providing attractions mostly for a given age group. But theme parks have one or more than one theme, which are more focused on or are unique in that place alone. All of us, in one way or another, have been in a theme park. The list below contains top ten weirdest theme parks in the world.
10. Alien Apex Resort Roswell, New Mexico, USA

Roswell New Mexico Park continues with its popularity of the Roswell incident even after 61 years. This shows how the public is interested in UFOs and Aliens. People from every part of the world flock to this park to celebrate the famous UFO during World War II. Some of the believers go to this park hoping to see a flying saucer. It is for this reason that the local government of New Mexico decided to build an amusement park in the middle of the town. The whole idea started with some type of alien abduction on a coaster ride where it promises to set a new standard for indoor roller coaster attractions.
9. Amora – London, England

We use certain things from parks to associate with, and Amora is no different from this. When you think of Amora in London, what comes out of your mind? You must have heard of love since it has received a lot of attention from the media, since the day it was opened. People travel from their homes and visit this attraction site to get everything Amora offers from how to flirt to how to get the most in an intimate experience. When you visit this park, you will not have the same encounter in visiting one. Instead, you find statues, interactive exhibits, and displays.
8. Abashiri Prison – Hokkaido, Japan

Most of us, the name prison makes our heart beat very fast and we associate it with torture and suffering. Well, the Abashiri Prison disagrees with this since it was one of the most notorious prisons, being changed into a fun theme park in Japan. Prison becoming a museum or park is not a new thing since some of the prisons in the world have been changed to become a tourist attraction. This prison was famously known for its inhuman activities, turning into a theme park with robot inmates and guards, doing their daily activities.
7. Dwarf Empire – Kunming, China

This park has been found with many controversial for a variety of reasons. The park is majorly known for dwarves who live in houses, which are mushroom-like and they perform various activities for the tourists. The public pays to be entertained with songs, acrobatics, and other routines. Dwarf Empire seems like the most exploitive theme park in the world since after every show, tourists are allowed to visit those houses.
6. Dracula’s Land – Transylvania, Romania

This is not necessarily a park as much, as it is a whole place which has been turn into one big tourist attraction. Some of the regions here used to be resided by people and there are other homes that have families still living in it. The local people in Dracula Land have embraced their culture and their traditional houses, which attract individuals from different areas.

It is a theme park which is mostly known for Christianity and home to religious items. The park is located a few miles away from the Magic Kingdom. It serves as an educational attraction for different people worldwide. This theme park in Orlando, Florida is like the ones in the list, and it is home to various well-known publishing industries of bibles.
4. Mukluk Land – Alaska, USA

This is just like any other theme park, although it is different from others in that the main type of attraction is the large Alaska cabbage. Since it started in 1985 along the highway, it was marked as the most unique destination. A visit to Mukluk will not disappoint you since you are able to view bizarre collections of cabbages where you can play miniature golf. If you cannot make a stop at Mukluk during your visit to Alaska then it is said you haven’t been to that country.
3. Napoleon – South of Paris, France
Are you fond of Napoleon Bonaparte stories? Well if you are, then a visit to a French theme park is a must for you. The park is hopefully to be opened in 2017, after Yves Jego proposed it. The museum and historic representation of some of his battles will be the highlight here. It will also have rides in which tourists will pass through the frozen dead soldiers. It will be surely be a must go for the whole family and friends.
2. Republic of Children – Manuel B. Gonnet, Argentina

It is a dream of every kid to go in a park during the holidays to have some fun; as well as having things like cotton candy, have a ride etc… But the theme park goes against this since it does not have some of the exciting activities. It is for this reason that the Republic of Children came up with activities to teach children about ethics. It has now become a dream of every child to visit this park for vocation.
1. Tiger Balm Gardens – Singapore

It is the most appropriate vacation spot for both friends and family to go and hang out. The park was built by the two brothers in 1937 and when you take a ride, it is evident you are going to experience the worst nightmare in your lifetime. The park contains the most bizarre and worrying statues you can ever see.
