Themeparks in Malaysia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunway Lagoon has come a long way since its inception in 1997. Once the coolest water park in town, it\u2019s undergone several rebirths over the years to become an amazing multi-faceted theme park that includes a Water Park, Amusement Park, Wildlife Park, Extreme Park and Scream Park.<\/p>\n

\"sunway-lagoon-malaysia-themepark\"<\/p>\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With more than 80 attractions sprawled across 88 acres, plus the Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall and hotels conveniently close by, Sunway Lagoon is perfect for a day out with the family, or even as part of a weekend getaway.<\/p>\n

This themepark in Malaysia is home to an impressive array of firsts \u2013 including Malaysia\u2019s first bungee jump (in the Extreme Park) and first surf simulator (in the Water Park), as well as the world\u2019s largest man-made surf beach (also in the Water Park). It\u2019s not surprising that Sunway Lagoon has played host to a variety of major events, including the MTV World Stage concerts.<\/p>\n

With so much to do at Sunway Lagoon, you\u2019ll have to start the day early and plan it well in order to make the most of your trip. If you\u2019re going in a group, it might be best to split up according to everyone\u2019s interests or you might not get to experience everything you want to, particularly during weekends, busy periods or public and school holidays.<\/p>\n

The Amusement Park and Wildlife Park will keep the young ones occupied for a few hours, while the older kids and adrenaline junkies will certainly want to check out the Extreme Park and Scream Park. Once everyone\u2019s had their fill of thrills, you can all meet at the Water Park to cool down, enjoy the rides and play areas, and have a splashing fun time.<\/p>\n

Amusement Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For the very little ones, we suggest the classic merry-go-round for a bit of old-school charm and fun, while the older kids will love getting splashed on the Grand Canyon River Rapids ride.<\/p>\n

\"sunway-lagoon-themepark1\"<\/p>\n

There’s a good chance they’ll want to go on their favourite rides over and over again, so if you’re able, go on a weekday or at least arrive early enough to avoid crowds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all child\u2019s play at the Amusement Park. Sure, there are your regular kiddie rides and themed children\u2019s play lands, but there\u2019s also Pirate\u2019s Revenge, Malaysia\u2019s first 360-degree rotating pirate ship, and the Lost City of Gold roller-coaster. Malaysia\u2019s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, at 428 metres, is worth the walk too.<\/p>\n

Wildlife Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Relaunched in March this year, the Wildlife Park is touted as the first and only fully interactive animal-themed attraction in Malaysia, featuring more than 150 exhibits of exotic animals, including a pair of white lions, sun bears, panthers, pythons and more.<\/p>\n

\"sunway-lagoon-wildlife-park\"<\/p>\n

Getting through the park is easy \u2013 all you have to do is follow the route, keeping a sharp eye out for your favourites.<\/p>\n

Hats and sunscreen are recommended, especially on very hot days, and you might want to have mosquito repellent handy as well. Take the time to read all about each animal you see to make it a truly educational experience. Visit the Wildlife Theatre to get up close and personal with some of them, and there are also opportunities for you to learn even more about the animals\u00a0at Wild Encounters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Extreme Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not for the fainthearted, the Extreme Park eases you into your day with lots of fun at the archery shooting range and go-kart course. Then it\u2019s on to serious business with Malaysia\u2019s longest flying fox, which is a smooth 206 metres long, Asia\u2019s highest slingshot ride, the G-Force X and, if you have courage to spare, bungee-jumping! You\u2019ll want to leave the grandparents out of this one, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

Scream Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It might not look like much from the outside, but the Scream Park, created by scare attraction expert Lynton V. Harris, who created attractions for Dreamworld and Warner Bros. Movie World in Australia, as well as Madison Square Garden in New York and Madame Tussauds in London, is guaranteed to give you an exhilarating and (of course) scary time. Combining audio and visual effects with a fully trained cast of live actors in cool character costumes and world-class make-up, it\u2019s an immersive experience spread over three floors that will spook you \u2013 if you dare!\"sunway-lagoon-scream-park\"<\/p>\n

If horror is your thing, then you\u2019re in luck because there\u2019s no better time to visit the Scream Park than during October\u2019s Nights of Fright. Held in conjunction with the Halloween season, the festival takes place on select nights only, so don’t miss out.\u00a0Click here<\/a> for full details.<\/p>\n

Water Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over at the Water Park, the surf beach and lazy river are as popular as ever, but there are so many other things to do, you might want to save them till last.<\/p>\n

\"sunway-lagoon-waterpar\"<\/p>\n

Top of the list is the Vuvuzela, the world\u2019s largest water ride and a must-try. The Waterplexx 5D promises a multi-sensory journey, while the Congo Challenge is good fun. If you\u2019ve always wanted to surf, the surf simulator, FlowRider, is a great place to start. The little ones won\u2019t miss out either \u2013 they\u2019ll love the pools and water play areas.<\/p>\n

[tabs]<\/p>\n

[tab title=”Admission Fees” icon=”entypo-ticket”]<\/p>\n

General admission rates are RM150 for adults (12 years old and above) and RM120 for children and senior citizens. The price does not include pay-per-ride attractions such as bungee-jumping, G-Force X and go-karting, locker rental, and equipment such as tubes and surfboards for the Water Park.<\/p>\n

Family packages (2 adults + 2 children) are available for Malaysian citizens, and there\u2019s also a special rate for SUNWAY PALS members. If none of these apply, we suggest you buy your Sunway Lagoon tickets\u00a0online<\/a> and receive a 15% discount off the entrance fee as well as a designated counter (avoiding long queues).<\/p>\n

[\/tab]<\/p>\n

[tab title=”Opening Hours” icon=”entypo-key”]<\/p>\n

Open daily from 10am to 6pm. However, do note that the Scream Park will be closed for Nights of Fright from 4pm onwards every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in October.<\/p>\n
