🏰 THE 13TH CENTURY THEME PARK

Step into the World of Chinggis Khan — A Journey Back to Mongolia’s Glorious Past

Located 96 km east of Ulaanbaatar in Erdene province, the 13th Century Theme Park offers an immersive, open-air experience into the life and legacy of Chinggis Khan (Genghis Khan) and his empire. Spread across a vast natural landscape, this unique cultural park consists of authentic camps representing different aspects of the 13th-century Mongol state — from warriors and shamanic traditions to the royal court.

This is not a theme park with rides, but a historical complex offering interactive experiences where visitors wear traditional clothes, taste ancient cuisine, shoot arrows, ride horses, and witness how Mongolians lived, ruled, and thrived in one of the world’s greatest empires.
