Mango Meadows is an agricultural theme park located in the state of Kerala, India. Conceived as a destination that combines farming, biodiversity, and recreation, it presents agriculture and rural Kerala life as an experiential attraction for visitors. It is among the early examples in India of an agri-themed park, where the focus is placed on plants, crops, water bodies, and farm animals rather than on mechanical rides.

The park is situated in Kerala, a state in southern India known for its tropical climate, backwaters, and long-standing agricultural traditions involving spices, coconut, paddy, and tropical fruit. The setting of the park draws on these regional features, presenting cultivated landscapes, water channels, and orchards as part of the visitor experience.
Mango Meadows is built around the idea of an "agricultural theme park," a model in which the attractions are largely living: fruit trees, vegetable gardens, medicinal plants, paddy fields, ponds, and livestock. The park aims to acquaint urban visitors and schoolchildren with food crops, traditional farming methods, and rural Kerala culture, while also offering recreational facilities typical of leisure parks.
As an agri-tourism venue, Mango Meadows reflects a broader trend in Kerala and India of diversifying tourism beyond beaches, hill stations, and heritage sites toward farm-based and experiential tourism. Such parks are often used for educational visits, allowing students and visitors to observe crops and ecosystems that they may not otherwise encounter directly. The park is also part of Kerala's wider tourism economy, which is a significant contributor to the state's services sector.
