Yerevan Park, the largest theme park in Armenia, is in the final stages of construction and set to open in Yerevan in April 2021.

Yerevan Park, which was first conceived in 2016, will be the biggest entertainment hub in the region, reports Zartonk Media.

Since 2016, developers of the theme park have worked alongside amusement industry experts, including Jeroen Nijpels from JNELC.

Yerevan Park will feature indoor and outdoor areas, with 25 rides and attractions. These were designed by various international manufacturers, including Zierer, Vekoma, and Zamperla.

The attraction will boast four roller coasters. Two of these coasters are family-friendly offerings, and the other two are thrill rides.

It will also feature a 40m wheel with more than 1,600 RGB lights, created by Technical Park. Additionally, there will be a 10m carousel by Concept 1900.

Garegin Nushikyan, founder of Yerevan Park, is creating a classic fairytale-style theme park. Characters and attractions with Armenian roots will appeal to local visitors.

Yerevan Park will be set across 276,000 square metres, with 196,000 square metres of gardens and more than 20,000 trees and plants.

Yerevan Park is now in the final stages of construction, with indoor and outdoor areas on track to debut in spring 2021.
