Cool and refreshing place to spend a day.. lovely sights to see (needle of Tambun). Zoo was really interesting, and clean with playful animals.. specially Ruby the Raccoon and friends and the parrots.. (unlike in Sunway Lagoon - KL, the animals were so damn depressed and stinky). Lockers kinda expensive but alright. The pool was a little dirty I guess... More

Honestly nothing much you can do there - the facilities is well maintained but the theme park is not that great ( dont expect it a SUNWAY LAGOON tho it's part of the sunway group) ... the park facilities are too spaced out everything is 'far' from everything. Locker would cost you 10bucks. No towers rental. Hotel house keeping really... More

The best part about Lost World of Tambun (LWT) is its location. Just nestled around forest with natural hot springs. You would take no more than 5-6 hours to leisurely explore this place along with water park....It is enjoyable with kids.....Dont think this would entice young couples or teen groups....family can have a good time. You can start with the... More

While Malaysia enjoys relatively hot weather throughout the year, Lost World of Tambun offers visitors hot and cold/warm water that refreshes mind and body. With sauna and spa added attractions, the water world theme park really springs up the lethargy from visitors. The surrounding breathtaking hills are wonders to behold. The animal petting zoo is an adventure for children and... More

Interesting spot to stop and relax if you were to drive to Penang from KL. The hot spring help ease stiffen muscle after 150km drive. There's 20, 30 and 40 Celsius pool to soak and a man made sauna cave. These however are lot hotter during day time because of the stone wall retain the heat of the sun. Entry... More

The scenery of mountains is just in itself worth going. Of course the water park is great. along with all the rides. You will end up spending the entire days there to go through all the rides. Food quality is average. Nearby there is a Giant Hypermarket. The town itself a worth a walkaround as it brings back nostlagic memories... More

The setting of TLWOT is magnificent, nestled as it is at the foot of a limestone karst. Compared with it's sister theme park, Sunway Lagoon, TLWOT is cheap (foreigners pay the same price as locals) and much friendlier. That said, this was our second visit (the first being almost 2 years ago) and the staff were noticeably less attentive. During... More
