The Land of Legends is an amusement park and water park in Antalya, Turkey. It contains a shopping mall and a hotel within the park. It is the largest theme park in Turkey. [1] There are two sections of the park which are "Adventure Land" and "Masha and the Bear Land of Laughter".
Rixos World Parks & Entertainment founded the park and opened in 2016, which eventually they incorporated a shopping mall and the Kingdom Hotel for expansions. Later a 111 feet tower was added. Fettah Tahmince, the chairman of Rixos said, "The Land of Legends is the first ring of the new generation entertainment destinations that we will revive. With this project, we create a new destination beyond a hotel, a theme park, shopping units and aqua parks" and Adventure Rapids was the first rollercoaster added to the park. [2] There is also a spa, and other entertainment, within the park. [1] A wave pool was later added and a five-star hotel with accommodations. [2]
In 2017, it was awarded "Europe's Best Theme Park" in the World Travel Awards and for its waterpark in the Leading Edge Awards and the park reaches 620 kilometers (385 miles). It won the award again in 2018. [3] [4]
