When the monsoon rains hit Colombo, or the mid-day heat becomes too oppressive for outdoor parks, Excel World is the ultimate sanctuary for local families.
Located in Colombo 10, it is a massive indoor entertainment complex that has been a staple for children’s birthdays and weekend outings for over a decade.
What Kids Love Most
- Snow City: The undeniable crown jewel of Excel World. It is an enormous walk-in freezer filled with artificial snow and ice sculptures. They provide thick winter jackets and gloves at the door. For Sri Lankan kids who have never seen real snow, stepping inside and throwing snowballs is pure magic.
- The Bumper Cars: A massive classic bumper car arena that allows parents to ride with younger kids.
- Strikes Bowling: A highly active 12-lane cosmic bowling alley that serves decent snacks and uses lightweight balls for children.
Parent Tips
Excel World uses a pre-paid card system. You load money onto a card at the entrance desk and tap it at each ride or game. For younger kids, stick to Snow City and the bumper cars; the arcade section is more suited for teenagers. Bring extra socks for Snow City!
