Aktur Park is an amusement and funfair park in the Konyaaltı district, on Atatürk Bulvarı roughly 6 km west of Antalya city centre, directly opposite 5M Migros shopping centre and a short walk from Konyaaltı Beach. Established in 1997, the park offers over 40 attractions including the centrepiece: a 90-metre Ferris wheel (Turkey's tallest), opened in 2021, with 42 air-conditioned cabins plus VIP options and panoramic views across Antalya, the Taurus Mountains, and the Mediterranean. Other attractions include a roller coaster, bumper cars, a ghost train, carnival games, and a dedicated children's rides area. Entry to the park grounds is free — rides operate on a pay-per-token basis.
Aktur Park is primarily an afternoon and evening destination — rides typically operate from around 14:00 on weekdays and 11:00 at weekends, with the park staying open until midnight. The evening atmosphere on the Ferris wheel, with views across the city lights and the coastline, is the most-cited reason for visiting. The pay-per-ride structure means visit length is self-determined by budget and appetite rather than a fixed-hour ticket, which makes the return pickup time genuinely flexible — and a pre-booked driver a practical advantage.
Practical Information for Your Visit
- Best Time to Visit
- Evening visits from around 17:00 offer the best experience — the Ferris wheel views at sunset and after dark are the main draw, and summer heat has reduced by early evening. July and August weekend evenings are busiest; arrive by 18:00 to avoid queues for the Ferris wheel. The park is significantly quieter on weekday evenings.
- Time Needed
- The standard MovXtra waiting time of 5 hours is generous for Aktur Park — most visitors spend 2–4 hours covering the Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, and a meal. The park closes at midnight, so evening arrivals have flexibility. Since the pay-per-ride model means you leave when you choose, the exact duration is up to you — extended or flexible waiting can be arranged at booking.
- What to Bring
- Cash or card for ride tokens (purchased at machines inside the park). Comfortable shoes. A light layer for the Ferris wheel cabin in the evening — air conditioning inside the standard cabins can feel cool after time in summer heat. A phone for the panoramic views from 90 metres is a practical investment.
- Opening Hours
- Park grounds: 10:00–00:00 daily. Rides operational: approximately 14:00–00:00 on weekdays; from 11:00 on weekends and public holidays. Hours may vary slightly by season. Open year-round.
