Lost World of Tambun essentials

Address: Sunway City, Tambun, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

The Lost World of Tambun opened on 11 November 2004 and is managed by the Sunway Group; the overall site covers about 40 acres (16 ha). It combines a water park, theme-park elements and resort accommodation in a single complex. The park was constructed within the surroundings of limestone hills and karst terrain, with parts of the development set close to exposed limestone formations over an area reported as 7,432 m2. Visiting feels like a mix of resort leisure and outdoor water play, with landscaped areas and pools linked to the hotel facilities.

The setting among limestone hills gives the site a distinctive backdrop compared with urban water parks, and the resort layout is intended to let guests stay on site and use park facilities over more than one day. Facilities and attractions are aimed at families and visitors looking for water-based recreation alongside a themed park experience and hotel stay. Expect a tropical climate on-site with warm temperatures year-round and frequent rainfall at certain times of year; plan for heat, humidity and sudden showers when you visit.

  • Water attractions: Pools, slides and other water-based features form the core of the park and are the main draw for cooling off in Ipoh’s tropical climate.
  • Theme-park attractions: Family-friendly rides and themed areas provide non-water entertainment alongside the park’s aquatic features.
  • Limestone-hill backdrop: The surrounding limestone karst gives the park a dramatic natural setting and is visible from many vantage points in the resort.
  • On-site hotel and resort facilities: Staying at the park’s hotel lets you spread activities over several hours and access facilities before or after park opening times.
