Visited Jio Hamley’s Wonderland and it was a sheer disappointment
I (28M) visited the Jio Hamley’s Wonderland on Christmas with my wife (27F) - though the place was absolutely sparkling with Christmas flair, it seemed nothing less than a cash-grab event. Starting from the high entry fee (INR 1500 per person on Christmas), I expected atleast a few activities to be covered in the fee. Unfortunately, every single - and I mean every single activity inside was paid and that too not for cheap. From small-sized ferris wheel costing INR 350 per person to basic arcade games costing INR 200 p.p., within 15 minutes of entering it was fairly evident that one can basically do nothing there except roam around for as long as you like for free. However, the most disappointing (and downright disgusting) was their games event with little kids - initially they asked good, informative questions like which vitamin is sourced from sunlight etc., but after 15 mins or so it got really pathetic. In a bid to advertise their banking partner (whose cards were being used as currency for all events inside) - they legit asked 5-7 year old kids questions on banking and finally ended with everyone to check out the banking partner - I mean seriously? Using kids that too on Christmas eve for stupid promotions was a little too much in my opinion. The only saving grace was the lighting up event of the Christmas tree which looked really good in person, and the general hygiene/management practices followed there were spot on. All in all, felt really disappointed - almost cheated off the INR 3000 I spent for the two of us, where I couldn’t be in that place for more than an hour without shelling out further money to enjoy.2
