The driver brother picked us up at the hotel on time, the trip was well arranged, introduced us to delicious food, and also introduced the local attractions. The driver has a kind attitude. It is recommended to charter a car for a day trip.

Went to Lost World of Tambun for a full day family breakaway. We started our day feeding the giraffe at the Malayana Rain Forest. We then jumped into the water Theme Park, done multiple round of the slides, we then moved to the Hot Spring. After some time of enjoyment in the hot spring sauna cave, jacuzzi, and hot pool. We got ourselves some handy food at the Lost World Ipoh street. We had the not so sweet steamed sweet potatoes, fried lekoh,cucur udang, and 2 sets (6 sticks) of very dried satay. We continued to 2 rounds of river floating, then we danced, cheered n sang while swimming in the wave pool. We'd really wished that the wave of the pool can be operated to bigger waves than it was. Till then, we changed n had hot dog dinner by the Hot Spring pool. After dinner we went to the petting Zoo n had really great time feeding the really cute, gentle animals in the petting Zoo. the feed kit was rm20, comes with a variety of fruits, vegetables, n feeding biscuits. I m telling you, it was a really good experience to be in touch with the animals in the petting zoo. I totally feel worth the while bcoz the Zoo was really well established n many safari rangers were there to ensure everybody gets to encounter the animals safe & enjoying. Last but not least, the fire performance was totally outstanding. I had watched fire performances in other country but this one is no less than best. They managed to give us a really good feeling to call it a day! Well done! We then go home in their buggy really satisfied.
