Redeemed the wristbands and food voucher at the counter before entering the venue at the ticket counters easily by showing the qr codes. Had a really fun time as the park was not crowded and weather was perfect.. Food was not bad too. We reached the park at 12pm and stayed till 7pm+ and managed to experienced all the sections in the park. Wanted to stay for the fire show but was too tired and it started to rain when we went back hotel. Overall, recommended! tip: go for the hot springs earlier as more ppl will come later in the afternoon/evening.

Has a blast with my kids. Stay there from 10am-9pm. Just finish all the dry theme park first, then only u change to your swimsuit, because dry park will be closed at 6pm. we enjoy the dry park from 10am-2pm, then we enjoy the water park from there until 9pm. Foods also affordable. The staffs at giraffe & hyena cages are so nice & friendly. But staffs at the bird cage & petting zoo not so friendly, tired maybe? The luminous forest is pretty.

This is a return stay and Weil Hotel stands out from other options in town. From front-desk, facilities eg Pool and even the dining services, it has met our expectations. Given the age of hotel, it has maintained its physical facilities and improved its quality of customer service compared to other accommodations. Given its central location to food, shopping - Ipoh Parade Mall is linked - and transport options as well as soothing interior, it is our preferred choice for many years to come.

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.
