Best Theme Parks in Kuala Lumpur

The Sunway Lagoon is a vibrant theme park assembled in the mesmerizing city of Malaysia. This extravagant theme park was officially opened on 29 April, 1993, by then Prime Minister of the country, Tun Mahathir bin Mohammad. Keeping up with its official slogan ‘Your Best Day Ever,’ Sunway Lagoon Theme Park is an adventurous blend of six different lands, including, water pools, wildlife, extreme sports, lost lagoon, scream park, and cement ground. This theme park is glorious with Malaysia’s first simulator ride known as the FlowRider in 2010. It also fancies itself as the first home to Malaysia’s first 5D Waterplexx in 2012. Amongst the water rides, Vuvuzela is perhaps the most popular amongst the visitors. It’s the world’s largest vortex water ride.  Some other adrenaline pumping rides of this park include river-rapid rides, body slides, roller coasters, and tube slides. The Sunway Nickelodeon Park is another extraordinary attraction for kids. If you think that the theme park is primarily for children, well, think again. This theme park is quite enthralling in nature. To begin with, the haunted houses located in the Scream Park will take your breath away, literally! If that’s not enough, the wild adventures, such as bungee jumping, flying fox, archery, the Extreme Park will have you bite your nails with adrenaline rush! Witnessing the beauty of wild animals at the Wildlife Park is another reason to visit this park. There is just so much to do and experience here!

Also known as Jalan Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang is an upscale neighborhood and the most happening place in Kuala Lumpur. Plush hotels, extravagant shopping malls, and high-end shopping centres dot the streets of Bukit Bintang making it the fashion hub of Malaysia. Bukit Bintang is also the peppiest place in the capital city to enjoy a galvanic day out. Restaurants that serve lip-smacking late-night food, nightclubs that welcome party mongers with their electrifying music and late-night bars create a festive vibe every night as the sun sets down. The alluring attractions of Kuala Lumpur like Berjaya Times Square Theme Park, Menara KL Tower, and Nature Walk KL Forest Eco Park are also within Bukit Bintang which makes it the busiest tourist area in Kuala Lumpur. Another interesting attraction here is the Maha Mariamman Temple that absolutely mimics a Tamilian temple in structure.Apart from offering pompous retail and amusement therapies to its visitors, Bukit Bintang is also a foodaholic paradise. While the grandiose restaurants are for those seeking fine dining, the food stalls set by hawkers along the streets of Jalan Alor offer a culinary fest. There are also flea markets at Bukit Bintang where those shopping on a shoestring budget can find “cannot-find-out-fake” kind of fashion apparel at dirt cheap prices.

The KL Forest Eco Park is the only naturally occurring rainforest in the city of Kuala Lumpur. Since 1906 when the forest was first gazetted, consecutive governments have undertaken a number of developmental projects in the forest. This forest presently covers an area of around 9 hectares, and it has several interwoven tracks meant for jogging.The forest is placed right in the heart of the city. In addition to adding a lot of fresh air to the city centre, it has also become a natural refuge for a number of birds and small mammals. Tourists often pay a visit for a quick stroll or a hike, or even a sultry picnic over here. Conveniently, this forest is very close to a number of other important popular tourists’ spots, including the famed Menara Kuala Lumpur which is actually visible from the forest.The most recently opened canopy walk gives another great touch to this place. It is an especially great place to come in the wee hours of the day to enjoy the forest in all its expanse and serenity. It is a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience the greenery and picture-perfect beauty of nature.
