What is Sunway Lagoon?
A multi-park resort built in a former tin mine, with zones including a water park (with one of the world's largest man-made surf beaches and big slides), an amusement park, a wildlife park, an extreme park (ATVs, bungee and ziplines), Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon for kids and a scream park for horror experiences. One ticket covers most zones.
Tickets
There are separate prices for Malaysians and international visitors, and for adults, children and seniors. Online tickets are usually cheaper than the gate, and combos with the Night Park or extras (like extreme activities) are available. Check the official site for current prices.

Tips
- Buy online for the best price.
- Arrive at opening and head to the water park slides before queues build.

- Check the Night Park dates before planning an evening visit.
Getting there
Take the BRT Sunway Line from the LRT/KTM network (via Setia Jaya or USJ 7) to Sunway Lagoon station, or Grab from central KL (about 30-45 minutes depending on traffic).
Mistakes to avoid
- Going on a Tuesday.
- Paying the gate price.
- Visiting on a public holiday weekend.
The parks
Sunway Lagoon, built on a former tin mine in Petaling Jaya, combines several parks with one ticket.
- Water Park: the wave pool, a huge surf beach, lazy river and slides, including the Vuvuzela, a giant funnel slide.
- Amusement Park: rides and roller coasters, including the Pirate Revenge swinging ship.
- Wildlife Park: animal encounters with feeding sessions.
- Extreme Park: ATV rides, paintball, the flying fox and bungee, some at extra cost.
- Scream Park: walk-through horror attractions, open on selected days.
- Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon: a themed zone for younger children with SpongeBob and friends.
Planning your day
Arrive at opening and head straight to the most popular water slides, which build long queues by late morning. Do the dry rides and the wildlife park around midday, when the sun is strongest, and come back to the wave pool in the afternoon. Malaysian afternoons often bring thunderstorms, and slides and rides close during lightning, so make the most of the morning. Bring swimwear, sunscreen and a waterproof pouch. Lockers and towels can be rented.
With children
Younger children will spend most time in Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon and the shallow pools, while teenagers head for the big slides and the Extreme Park. Many rides have height limits, so check them before you go. Children's tickets have their own price, and very young children are often free. Weekdays outside the Malaysian school holidays are much calmer for families.
The Night Park
On some evenings, Sunway Lagoon opens its Night Park, with rides, lights and entertainment after dark, plus the Scream Park on selected nights. It uses a separate ticket and runs seasonally, with closures for maintenance, so check the calendar before planning around it. Evenings are cooler and avoid the afternoon storms, but not all water attractions are open.
Combining it with Sunway Pyramid
Sunway Pyramid, the Egyptian-themed mall next door, has restaurants, an ice-skating rink and shops, and makes a good place for dinner after the park. The Sunway Resort hotels are linked to both, so staying overnight lets you arrive at opening without the drive from KL.
Is Sunway Lagoon worth it?
Yes for families and thrill-seekers: it's Malaysia's best-known theme park, with a huge variety in one ticket. Go midweek and book online.
