Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Arrive before 4 PM to secure a shaded picnic table near the lake as they fill fast with local families.
The mini amusement rides cost 500 baisa each which is about 1 dollar making it the cheapest fun in Muscat.
Bring bread crumbs for the ducks and geese at the lake but check with staff first as feeding rules vary seasonally.
Friday mornings are busy with Omani families so aim for Saturday through Wednesday for quieter visits.
Combine with a visit to the nearby Qurum Beach which is a 5-minute drive for sunset beach time after the park.

A Real Parent's Story
The 1-dollar roller coaster
“My 4-year-old rode the mini roller coaster at Qurum Park eight times. Each ride cost 50 cents. She still talks about the pink train with the smiling face.”
Read full story
We expected Oman to be expensive like Dubai but Qurum Park was a revelation. The mini amusement area has a tiny roller coaster, a carousel, and bumper boats. My daughter rode the train coaster eight times. Eight times for 4 dollars total. She named it Pinky the Train. She asks about Pinky every week.
