Mysore City’s first “Snow City Theme Park” was inaugurated on 14 April 2019 by a member of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family Pramoda Devi Wadiyar.
The Snow City has come up in Nazarbad at the Regency Theatre on Lokranjan Mahal Road near Mysuru Zoo that has been converted to hold the new setup. The Regency Theatre has been completely refurbished and the whole structure resembles the Kremlin, a fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, the capital of Russia overlooking the Moskva River.
The erstwhile royal family of Mysuru owns the land of Regency Theatre and the promoters of Snow City have come to an understanding with the royal family to set up the new facility.
During today’s inauguration, for the first time, the temperature hit a low of minus six degrees while the temperatures at similar snow cities are usually maintained at minus four to five degrees.
The Snow City will offer an experience in snowballing, mountain climbing, snow jumping, sliding, sledding, dancing, snow skiing, and snow sliding along with DJ music in an area of 10,000 square feet. There are a selfie spot and a waterfall at the entrance.
The People of Mysore have to pay Rs.280 per head for a 45-minute session on working days inside the facility and on weekends, it will be Rs.300 per head. For tourists, Rs.350 will be charged on normal days. Parking charges will be extra and cameras and mobile phones are not allowed inside.
Visitors have to leave their valuables inside lockers and there will be an in-house cameraman who will supply photos on demand for a fee. There will be nine sessions per day from 10.15 am until 8 pm.
Trained personnel will keep a watch on gamers and those using skiing machines and rescuers will be stationed at the venue. All the players will be provided boots, helmets, thermals, caps, gloves, and jackets as the temperature will be below freezing. There is a drying area where gamers can dry their clothes.
Other attractions at the Snow City include Snow Disc, Ice Sliding, Snowball Throwing, Snow Bike, Snow Mountaineering, Ice House, and Snow Hotel.
