1. Location & Getting to Magic City (Pepsi Park) Tashkent

Magic City, often called Pepsi Park by locals, is located right near the Bodomzor metro station. While it looks walkable on some maps, it can be quite a trek on foot, so taking a cheap local taxi is highly recommended. A taxi ride should only cost you around 50,000 UZS (about $4). Since Tashkent gets incredibly hot during July and August (often soaring past 100°F), visiting during the cooler evening hours is the best way to enjoy this free-admission park.

You can spot the massive Pepsi logo from miles away! Because of their major sponsorship, Pepsi's presence is impossible to miss.

Inside, the park is packed with various restaurants, vibrant photo zones, an iconic fairytale castle, and plenty of fun rides.

2. Experiencing the Rides inside Magic City

Once you step through the gates, the beautiful Pepsi Castle comes into view alongside an array of attractions. There is a zipline crossing over the central lake, bumper cars, a water slide, and more.

The castle lights change colors dynamically, making it look even more magical after dark.

You will also find a mini-train touring the park grounds and a fun water sled ride.

Individual rides typically cost between 19,000 UZS (~$1) and 30,000 UZS (~$2). If you want to go on multiple attractions, a 5-ride package is highly economical, costing around 100,000 to 140,000 UZS (~$7 to ~$10).

Single Ride Ticket: ~$1 - ~$2

5-Ride Package: ~$7 - ~$10

The park features picturesque walkways lined with food stalls and cafes surrounding a beautiful lake, making it a fantastic spot to hang out and grab a bite.

Personally, I am a big Coca-Cola fan, but since this park is sponsored by Pepsi, they only sell Pepsi products. I had to hunt down a tiny corner shop just to find a Coke!

There are plenty of international food options and souvenir shops. I was particularly excited to find a Korean restaurant operating inside the park!

As Uzbekistan is a predominantly Muslim country, the park also features beautiful mosque-inspired architecture.

3. Honest Review: Is Magic City Worth It?

Without a doubt, you must visit at night! The illuminated park is absolutely stunning and provides a completely different vibe. The rides are incredibly cheap, costing only ~$1 to ~$2 per turn, with unique options like the water sled and zipline.

If you want to make the most of your time in Uzbekistan, combining Magic City with a guided city walking tour is a great option. Since Tashkent's main sights are somewhat spread out, a guided tour saves you time and keeps you from getting lost. I highly recommend booking a light city tour over exploring completely on your own!
