A big and nice theme park. good balance of dry and wet rides. There are performances and also a mini-zoo for kids to pet animals and learn about them. Managed to get the tickets the night before on Klook for a slightly cheaper rate.

Nice place. No wait at all! But do note that there is a bag check up (don’t bring fragile items, outside food, pets etc) There is lots of animals in the Lost World of Tambun. From hot springs to animal enclosures and water parks, this is fun for families to come.

We crossed 2 huge Penang bridges and visited many places of interest, not only the listed places but also unknown places, e.g. Taman Rekreasi GUNUNG LAND, TASIK CERMIN etc. Mr. Teh's guide was uique and interesting. Famous chicken and bean sprouts lunch was delicious. It was an invaluable experience for us. Terima kasih.
