The Land of Legends

What's The Land of Legends?

If you think this sounds like something straight out of a movie — you’d be right. The Land of Legends in Antalya isn’t your run-of-the-mill theme park; it’s a full-blown world of adventure where fantasy meets splash zones, rollercoasters, and more sugar-fuelled fun than you can shake some candy floss at.

It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s basically Turkey’s answer to Disneyland - except with way better weather and fewer queues. Whether you’re chasing thrills, chills or just looking for an excuse to act like a big kid again, this place has to go at the tip-top of your Turkey bucket list.

The Land of Legends - Theme Park

If the closest you've come to a theme park is a soggy day at Alton Towers during half term, then you're not even READY for the magic that The Land of Legends has in store. The name says it all, really - this whopper of a park in Antalya is home to 75 different attractions (from slides and kiddie rides to full-on 'coasters), as well as food and drink outlets on every corner so you can stay fuelled. It's won actual awards for its excellence, so if that doesn't tell you how epic this place is, we don't know what will.

There's even a Fast Track option (our fave), so you can spend less time queueing for rides, and more time...well, actually riding them! 🎢

Top it all off with a cheeky bit of merch from one of the on-site shops (because was it even a day at the theme park if you don't leave with a keyring?!) and you're sorted.

So what's in the theme park itself.....

Tropic Lagoon

Water's the name of the game here, too, with a wave pool, lazy floats (we like the sound of those), and a spray park for the kiddos. The most interesting thing about this place, though? It's where you'll find one of the world's longest water 'coasters. Yep, that's the Turtle Coaster might look cute and colourful, but it's not for the fainthearted!

Food & Drink

All that watersliding, rollercoastering action is thirsty work - and luckily there are plenty of bars and restaurants on site to keep the whole family fuelled. From ice cream stands and grab-and-go points to doughnut stations and burger bars, there's something for every appetite. Here are a few of our faves (try not to drool...):

• Choco Choco - yep, we're starting with the good stuff. This place is known for its colourful drinks, delish desserts and sweets that come with a guaranteed sugar rush.

• Burger Stop - you can't beat a good burger, and this stand has a bit of everything - from BBQ double stacks to veggie options and a steakhouse special that comes on a charcoal bun. Don't knock it 'til you try it!

• Chikko Fast - fried food on the go? Big tick. This fast food shack is the kind of spot where you can load up on nuggets, noodles and crispy onion rings.

• Shaky Cool - you'll feel like a kid in a candy store at this sugar-packed stall, specialising in mouthwatering ice creams and fruity drinks decorated with sweets.

• Café Point - OK parents, we've thrown this one in for you, because we know you're gonna need that caffeine. This is your one-stop shop for hot and cold coffees (think everything from Turkish coffee to mochas and frappuccinos) so you can keep those energy levels up.
