Source-derived summary

Snow Kingdom is India's largest snow theme park. It occupies 14,000 sq ft (1,300 m2) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The park provides sterilised, cold weather clothing to allow visitors to cope with the sub-zero temperature inside. The snow is made by reverse osmosis of water. The prevailing temperature inside the theme park is −8 °C (18 °F). Inside the theme park, there are replicas of seals, penguins, and snow deer.

Other attractions include a Click Art Museum, which hosts 23 incomplete 3D art paintings that wait to become complete as visitors enter the frame, and a Live Art Museum, which consists of models of celebrities from around the world.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Snow Kingdom” as theme park in Maharashtra, India. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current 112-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Snow, Kingdom and theme can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as theme park in Maharashtra, India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q55633383. Authority coordinates are 12.913, 80.251. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
