Weather…

Appu Ghar in Gurgaon, now primarily operating as Oysters Beach Water Park, carries forward the legacy of India's first amusement park, which originally opened in Delhi in 1984. The inaugural Delhi park was inaugurated by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and named after Appu, the elephant mascot of the 1982 Asian Games. Following the closure of the original Delhi site in 2008, the brand was revitalized in Gurgaon as a state-of-the-art water and adventure park spanning approximately 10 acres. The current facility features high-speed slides, a large wave pool, and various interactive water play areas designed with modern safety standards. Despite these modern updates, the name Appu Ghar remains a nostalgic symbol of the birth of organized theme park entertainment in India. Located conveniently near the Huda City Centre metro station, the park attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the National Capital Region annually. It blends historical brand value with contemporary leisure technology, serving as a major hub for family recreation.
