Wonder Island Park appears to be closed
Wonder Island Park was a small amusement park on Avenida Barcelo in Bavaro, with a roller coaster and a handful of other mechanical rides. It was not a water park, despite sometimes turning up in water park search results. Available evidence points to it being permanently closed, mapping services list it as closed, its website and social media accounts are inactive, and it reportedly sustained damage during Hurricane Fiona in 2022. We could not find a current, reliable source confirming it is operating.
If you have more recent information about its status, treat older travel blog posts or business directories that still list hours and prices with caution, several appear to carry outdated information.
