We decided to surprise the kids with a trip to Lost World of Tambun for the school holiday. This trip was not planned as we already arranged for a trip down south this December but since we had the time and opportunity, why not make the kids happy, kan?
The park is big and houses more than one activities for both adults and kids. The fact that it is surrounded by hills is a big plus. I totally enjoyed the view. The park is divided into water park (swimming pool), hot springs, petting zoo and tin valley exhibition.
The entrance, all beautifully decorated for Christmas.
with my super excited babies...
Park Map : Source Google
Huge ground to cover, thank god my babies are up for the walk
There is a section with all the carnival games/rides like merry go round, ring toss etc
Tiger Valley : There are 2 tigers and a few other big cat species like leopards and wild cats in an enclosure nearby.
Tin Valley: Where you can learn about Tin Mining back in those days where everything is done manually. Interesting exhibit, I would say..
Next to the Tiger and Tin Valley, there's a small zoo/animal care centre which houses several types of small animals like emu, roosters, porcupine, Patagonian mara and capybara (largest rodent in the world)
The caretakers feeding the Patagonian Mara carrots, they look like a cross of rabbits and deer. Anyway the caretakers were super cheerful and informative. The kids had fun interacting with both the caretakers and animals.
Petting Zoo: Another highlight of the day, there's quite a selection of animals in the zoo, though it is a bit of a walk from the entrance (esp with my 3 little munchkins) it is worth it. Had so much fun looking at the animals.
My beloved babies :)
Waterpark: The rides and water features are not as extensive as the ones in Sunway Lagoon, but they do have some nice kids slides and wave pool for the kiddies.
Hot Spring: What made Tambun quite special is the fact that it has a few hot springs pools in the vicinity. The temperature from one pool to another may vary and the warmers ones may not be suitable for younger children. But after a long swim in the pool, it feels good to have a good dip in the hot spring.
We truly enjoyed out trip to Tambun and it feels so good to see the cheery smiles on my babies face. Can't wait for the long xnas public holiday and for our "closing break" for they year 2015, Inshaallah.
