Fantasilandia

Fantasilandia is Chile’s largest and most popular amusement park, located within Parque O’Higgins in the southern reaches of central Santiago. Operating since 1978, this family-oriented park has entertained generations of Chilean visitors and continues to be the country’s premier destination for thrill rides and fairground entertainment, drawing over a million visitors annually.

The park’s ride lineup caters to all ages and thrill levels:

• Boomerang — a classic looping steel coaster
• Top Spin — an inverting pendulum ride
• Family water rides and gentle carousels for younger visitors
• A dedicated children’s area with age-appropriate attractions

Seasonal events add variety to the calendar, with Halloween and Christmas-themed operations extending the park’s appeal beyond its standard summer peak. Food stalls throughout the grounds serve Chilean street food favorites including completos (hot dogs with avocado and tomato), churros, and cotton candy.

Fantasilandia’s setting within the larger Parque O’Higgins complex means visitors can combine a day at the rides with picnicking in the adjacent green spaces. For families traveling with children, or for anyone curious about a quintessentially Chilean leisure institution, an afternoon at Fantasilandia delivers straightforward, unpretentious fun in the heart of the capital. Weekends and school holidays are busiest; arriving early is recommended during peak seasons.
