Winters span from November to February while Summers from April to June with the weather usually remaining dry throughout most of the year with the exception of the South-West monsoon which occurs during July and August. The monsoon offers heavy rainfalls in the state.
When to visit
The best time to visit Wonderland would be during summers which last from April to June as it is the perfect way to counter the hot weather and beat the heat. However, it can be visited at other times during the year as well. If visiting during winter it’s best to visit at around noon and afternoon when temperatures aren’t too cool so as to avoid getting sick. A time to avoid the theme park would be during the monsoon season months which are July and August as there are rainfalls then.

Final Thoughts
Wonderland Jalandhar is a great place to visit alone, with family, friends and even for couples as well. It’s a great place to have fun and disconnect from all the stresses of life. For those, don’t like getting wet, have the option of Dry Park rides which is also a great feature that helps expand its appeal. Dry Park is a great option as many water themed parks don’t have options for those that want to avoid the water.
Apart from just splashing around there’s options for dancing and music as well with places like Discotheque and Indoor Aqua Dance, etc. There’s also dining options too which is great since a day of so much activity is bound to make anyone hungry. The fun doesn’t just have to be limited to Wonderland as there are other attractions nearby as well to explore. A great place to visit for anyone planning on travelling to Jalandar.
