  👀Highlights👀

A perfect example of how you can use waste productively and creatively, this beautiful theme park was inaugurated on 21st February 2019.

The highlights of Waste to Wonder Park in Delhi are the beautiful replicas of the Seven Wonders of the World. Each monument is separated from the other by a thick cover of trees that act as curtains. This was done on purpose so that tourists can focus on one monument at a time and not get distracted by the others nearby.

Here’s some information about the monuments in Waste to Wonder Park New Delhi:

  • Statue of Liberty: The 30-feet tall replica of USA’s Statue of Liberty was made by a 31-year-old Delhi-based artist. The statue was built using around 8 tonnes of waste, such as metal sheets, angles, railings, scrap pipes, cycles chains and car rims.
  • Taj Mahal: Created with 30 tonnes of waste, this 20-feet high replica of Taj Mahal was built by 24 workers in about five and a half months. The workers mainly used electric pole pipes, park benches, swings, old pans and cycle rings to build the structure.
  • Colosseum of Rome: The 15-feet-high Colosseum of Rome in New Delhi’s Waste to Wonder Park was built using 11 tonnes of scrap materials, such as electric poles, car wheels, benches, automobile spare parts and metal railings.
  • Christ the Redeemer of Rio: The theme park also houses a 25-feet high replica of Christ the Redeemer of Rio. It was built in 5 months with waste materials like motorbike chains, engine parts, old benches and electric poles.

  • Eiffel Tower of Paris: The 60-feet high replica of the Eiffel Tower is the tallest monument in the park. Artist Sandip Pisalkar used 40 tonnes of automobile scrap, such as C-channels, angles and clutch plates, to make this magnificent structure.

  • A total of 150 tonnes of scrap was used in the park.
