Location

The Lost World of Tambun is located in Ipoh, the capital city of Perak. This is the first and only water theme park you can find in Ipoh. The Lost World of Tambun is located far from the bustling city and hidden among the lush greenery inside of Tambun. Here, you will see lots of lush greenery and limestone cliffs that will certainly blow you away.

Overview

The Lost World of Tambun took RM60 million to complete and is a much anticipated theme park for anyone in the area as well as tourists. The theme park is landscaped with various creepers, vines and other greeneries to give visitors an impression that they really are in a Lost World. The Lost World of Tambun is the sister theme park to the Sunway Lagoon theme park in Petaling Jaya and was officially opened to be public in November 2004.

At the theme park, you can embark on various special rides such as the Tube Raiders where you slide down with large tubes, or the Cliff Racer where you race down at top speeds in a mine cart or the Jungle Wave Bay where you will be at a large pool with nine different waves. There is also a safari in the theme park where it is the home for three adult tigers.

Another interesting attraction at the theme park is the pool which is filled with hot mineral water from the Tambun hot springs which is well known for its healing properties. For visitors who prefer the less adventurous activity, you can choose to go for the Adventure River which goes around the theme park. This allows you to leisurely view the whole of the theme park.

Transport

To get to the theme park, you will need to get to Ipoh. From Kuala Lumpur it will take about a 2-hour drive to Ipoh. From Penang, it will take an hour and a half by driving.
