Fantasilandia is transitioning its operations from Parque O’Higgins in Santiago to a new, expanded permanent site in San Bernardo, Chile. The project involves the construction of a larger facility designed to accommodate more visitors and a broader array of attractions, according to official company announcements and local reporting from El Mostrador.
The move marks the end of an era for the park’s long-term residency at Parque O’Higgins. While the company has not set a definitive calendar date for the grand opening of the San Bernardo site, construction is actively underway.
For visitors, the immediate impact is the confirmation that the current Parque O’Higgins location will eventually close its gates. Reports indicate that the winter vacation period will serve as one of the final operational windows for the traditional site before the full transition to the new venue is completed.
Construction Progress and the San Bernardo Site
According to reports from El Mostrador, work on the site is progressing through the infrastructure and land-preparation phases.
Returning Attractions and New Experiences
Information shared via LOS40 indicates that several “classic” attractions are slated to return in the new San Bernardo park.
The new park will feature a mix of:
- Relocated classic rides from the Parque O’Higgins era.
Current Operations and Pricing at Parque O’Higgins
While the future is centered on San Bernardo, Fantasilandia continues to operate at Parque O’Higgins with various promotional pricing structures to attract visitors during the transition period. Recent ticket offers have seen prices drop to as low as $9,990 CLP for specific promotional windows, as reported by rockandpop.cl.
The park has also implemented targeted discounts, including special pricing for adults over 40 years old, according to El Mostrador.
Visitors are encouraged to check the official Fantasilandia website for the most current ticket pricing and availability, as promotional rates vary significantly by date and age group.
Impact on the Santiago Metropolitan Region
The next major checkpoint for the public will be the official announcement of the opening date for the San Bernardo park and the final closure date for the Parque O’Higgins location. Updates are typically released via the company’s official communication channels.
