The Mines Wonderlands
Located at Sungei Besi, the Mines is a modern
recreational park built on the site of what was once the
world's largest open-cast tin-mining lake. Its
attractions are both natural and man-made, and the
man-made wonders in particular are more than a little
remarkable. The most famous of these is the Musical
Fountain, which emits enormous multicolored sprawls of
water carefully coordinated to harmonize with
accompanying music. Across the lake, a parade of giant
animated animals, including a dolphin, an octopus, a sea
turtle, a crocodile, a carp and a swan, glide across the
lake at 8.45 pm and 10.15 pm daily. Perhaps the most
sublime of the Wonderlands' marvels, however, is a Snow
House, where visitors can enjoy a brief immersion in
winter. The Mines Wonderlands also offers watersports, a
roller coaster, and a picnic beach. The park is open from
11 am to 11 pm daily. Admission is RM6 for adults
(Weekend -RM 10) and RM3 for children (Weekend-RM5).
Admission to the Snow House is RM8 (unlimited time). |
