Bukit Merah Laketown Resort




Bukit Merah Laketown Resort
is well know for it’s waterpark, although I think it has other goodies to offer too such as Ecopark, and Orang Utan Island. I have been to the Waterpark, Ecopark and Orang Utan Island.

It's such interesting place! I went with my close friends mus, min n yan.. Actually before we go to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, we went to Lost World of Tambun, Ipoh. I've been there twice.. haha.. Then we decide to go to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort.


This is a happening place with various of activities, especially during a festive season. At one corner, we have some clowns playing some nift tricks. At another corner, there were some naughty children playing at a water fountain.


Tickets are price at RM21 for adult, and RM16 for children. It's for waterpark price. If your height is below 90cm, then you are in luck, you get free entry!


Me and my friends takes Waterpark Combo Package includes the following:
1 entry to Waterpark, Ecopark, Orang Utan Island, Chairlift or Skycycle Ride. Tickets are price at RM30.00 and RM29.00 for children above 90cm. Below 90cm is free.

The main attraction of the park - the actual Waterpark.

Let’s check out some of the fun attractions there. This one is called the Giant Wet Bubble.


Basically you hike to the top of the bubble with the help of a rope. Whoever gets to the top first has the advantage to shake the others off from the bubble… This is one of the major attractions there and a long queue is expected.


River rides, suitable for the young and the old. Usually you ride on a floating tube - which you can hire from the counter at RM10 a tube.

This one I think is a little too fast for me… I better find something not so thrilling. Ah, the activity pool should be nice :).

Dare or not?

A 3-acre eco-friendly sanctuary, the park features three large enclosures the Bird Park, Reptile Park and Tropical Trek, where rare indigenous and exotic bird, reptile, primate and mammal species roam freely in their natural habitat.

The Ecopark is a complete research, breeding, education and tourism facility that promotes a "Say Hello to Nature" concept where visitors are encouraged to interact with the animals in their natural habitat.

Orang Utan Island

Tucked away on the 35-acre Pulau Orang Utan, Orang Utan Island is the world's first and only 5-acre rehabilitation and preservation facility where Orang Utans roam free. The unique island serves as a breeding sanctuary as well as conservation, research and education center to better understand this endangered species.

Venture from the main jetty at Marina Village and wait for the lake Cruiser to ferry us to the Orang Utan Island. It's just a 10-minute boat ride across, and boats leave every half hours.

At the island, we were taken through a 100-meter steel walkthrough 'cage tunnel' to come up close and personal with these primates. In a twist, we were enclosed in a 'cage' as us observe the Orang Utans roaming free in their natural habitats. Two baby Orang Utans are the stars of the island. We've been able to interact with them nin the tunnel.

Way to main jetty at Marina Village.

Actually the pictures at Waterpark i was take at hot-screensaver.com because i was kept my camera inside the locker.. We felt so excited to played there!
