The mine is now converted into a theme park, to entertain people. The underground theme park is equipped with an amphitheater, Ferris wheel, mini golf course, and a lake complete with rowboats.

Salina Turda excavated over 3 billion tons of salt before mining stopped in 1932. Since then, the underground hub has lived many lives, serving as everything from a cheese storage facility to a bomb shelter.
