List of amusement parks and theme parks in Mie Prefecture. Listed by region.
Northern Mie
- Kuwana : Nagashima Spa Land - One of the only major amusement parks in Japan, complete with the world's longest metal roller coaster, a water park, and a huge outlet shopping mall. Without a doubt the best in not just the prefecture but the entire Tōkai region. Don't miss this one if you like amusement parks.
- Suzuka : Suzuka Circuit - Small park with just a few rides located next to the race track of the same name. You actually have to go in the amusement park to get to the race track. Said to have been built to entertain the wives and children of men wanting to watch the races.

Eastern Mie
- Ise : Edo Wonderland - Theme park directed at Japanese history-loving children in Futami
