About this attraction

İsfanbul Theme Park (VIALAND)

Spread across a hillside in Eyüpsultan above the Golden Horn valley, İsfanbul — opened in 2013 as Vialand, a name the park trades under again today — is Türkiye's first and largest theme-park complex, covering around 600,000 square metres. The headline act is Nefeskesen, a launch coaster that catapults riders to motorway speeds in seconds, backed by water rides, a drop tower, dark rides themed on the 1453 conquest of Istanbul and dozens of gentler family and kiddie attractions. Around the rides sits a full entertainment city: a large shopping mall, food courts, a show venue and a hotel, so non-riders are never bored. Reaching Eyüpsultan by public transport with excited kids and day bags is the least fun part of the day — which is where SooTransfer comes in. A private car or van collects you from Istanbul Airport (IST), about 35 minutes away, or from Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side, with flight tracking, a name board and child seats on request, and can return for you at closing time.

Opening hours
Seasonal: the rides area typically opens around midday and runs into the evening, later on weekends, while the adjoining mall keeps standard shopping hours. Check the official calendar for the day you visit.
Entry fee
Ride wristbands and pay-per-ride tickets are sold at the gate and online; strolling the wider shopping and dining areas is free. Check current pricing before you go.

Highlights of İsfanbul Theme Park (VIALAND)

🎢
Nefeskesen launch coaster
The park's signature 'breathtaker' rockets from standstill to around 110 km/h — one of the most intense coaster launches in the region.
💦
Water rides
Rafting and splash rides make the park a favourite on hot Istanbul afternoons — expect to get properly wet on the biggest ones.
🏰
Conquest-themed dark rides
Indoor attractions retell the 1453 conquest of Istanbul with motion seats and screens — a uniquely local twist on the theme-park formula.
🎠
Family and kiddie zone
Dozens of gentler rides, carousels and play areas mean toddlers and grandparents get a full day too, not just the thrill-seekers.
🛍️
Mall, food and shows
A large shopping centre, food courts and a performance venue wrap around the park, so bad weather or tired legs never end the day early.

FAQ

İsfanbul Theme Park (VIALAND) transfer · frequently asked

Are İsfanbul and Vialand the same place?

Yes. The park opened in 2013 as Vialand, was renamed İsfanbul in 2018, and now markets itself under the VIALAND name again. Drivers and locals know both names — it's the same complex in Eyüpsultan.

Do I need a ticket just to enter the complex?

No — the shopping mall, restaurants and general grounds are free to wander. You pay for the theme park itself via ride wristbands or per-ride tickets, sold at the gate and online.

How do we get there from Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen?

From IST it's about 36 km, typically a 35-minute drive; from SAW on the Asian side allow well over an hour depending on bridge traffic. SooTransfer meets you at either airport with a name board and flight tracking, fits child seats on request, and vans take the whole family plus luggage in one vehicle — book online or by WhatsApp.

Can SooTransfer pick us up when the park closes at night?

Yes — we operate around the clock, so you can pre-book a return pickup for closing time or message your driver when you're ready, instead of hunting for a taxi on the hill after dark.

Is the park open in winter?

The complex is open year-round, but the outdoor rides run a reduced, weather-dependent schedule outside the main spring-to-autumn season. The mall, indoor attractions and dining stay busy in all months — check the daily calendar in winter.
