Water WorldAttractions of A-Famosa
Despite its proximity to the center make sure to spend here at least two days to fully familiarize with every facet of this Malaysian miracle. A day in A-Famosa begins when the first birds trigger the alarm to quickly pull you out of bed.

Waterpark
First place to see is the Water Park. Yes, this is a paradise for children, but rest assured, you too are going to turn into a toddler, laughing with joy on the roller coaster "Arab village" or squeal with delight, slipping from the tall water tower of seven stories high. Prefer less extreme early in the morning? Then the family rafting or leisurely rafting on the world's longest “lazy river” awaits you.

Monkey Island
From the water park ferry will take to the very center of the lake on the monkey island, where the brown Madagascar lemurs and Capuchins from South America, as well as gibbons and macaques, will remind you how quirky and fun nature can be.

Safari
Next step is deep into the jungle. Here, the houses of local residents are hidden among the ancient trees of tropical forest: these tribes refused pointblank to accept civilization, but they welcome guests to their simple houses.

Take a ride through safari park in the closed car, and tigers, lions, giraffes, zebras and elephants - all of them will show you their tusks, ivories and hooves in natural conditions, because you literally become the welcomed guests in their large enclosures.

During a walk through the world of animals kids will tread on same tracks with striped raccoons, kangaroos, pink flamingos, shaggy little ponies on which you can take a ride.

Ranch
On a ranch nearby you can ride these noble steeds. And for those who stayed for so long in the urban jungle, the given opportunity to feed domestic chickens and ducks will be the great event. But be reminded that they can bite more often:)

Cowboy Town
When evening comes it’s high time to set for a "cowboy town": the wild west with the Indians, as well as restaurants, karaoke, discos, 4D-cinema, massage and
AS-016.jpg bowling – in A-Famosa world everything is possible. And when the night finally thickens its paints, the darkness will be diluted by the spectacular Carnival!

Fire eaters, spewing flammable fountains from their mouths, trainers of wild animals and their growling pets, equilibrists, birds, graceful dancers in traditional costumes, painted local tribes with spears in their hands – all of them convolve in a single dance, which will be invariably completed with a resounding salute! One day in A-Famosa is a holiday lasting twenty-four hours.

Microlight
And when on the next day the same lively birds chatter will wake you up, you still have plenty of time to test yourself in a flight on one of the lightest aircrafts in the world. Compact and weightless, it will take you into the sky like the wings, and the experienced instructor seated next to you will take care of your security.


Golf
Those who prefer land to heaven will spend the day at the golf club. But be careful: one of the tracks is inhabited by crocodiles! So try to save their nerves – be well-aimed:)
