The school holidays are coming up! Time for kids to enjoy a nice long break from school. If you are looking for a place to have a fun-filled family vacation, then look no further! It’s a great time for the whole family at A’Famosa Resort!
Did you know? A’Famosa Resort has not one, not two, but THREE theme parks! A’Famosa has something for everyone, no matter what you’re up for!
Safari Wonderland
First up is the Safari Wonderland where you can get up close and personal with various members of the animal kingdom. There are animal encounters throughout the day, and you do not want to miss out! Watch ferocious tigers roar and ride on majestic camels. Pet fuzzy rabbits and feed mischievous monkeys. There’s plenty to do at the Safari Wonderland!
Have you ever seen an elephant up close? These gentle giants can be surprisingly quick and agile for their size. There’s also a multi-animal show featuring exciting performances by a wonderfully talented cast including a sun bear, macaque and otter.
Other than that, more performances await you with the antics of well-trained parrots, cockatoos, and even a hornbill. These smart birds will certainly delight you with their quirky ways. For a true safari adventure, take a ride in a safari truck and experience the wonder of watching animals right in their natural habitat. Observe as giraffes, camels, tigers, elephants and zebras roam around freely.
For more encounters in the wild, you can take a short trip via a motorised barge to Monkey Island. Set in the middle of a lake, here is where brown lemurs, squirrel monkeys, capuchins, tamarins, gibbons and macaques call their home. Have a close look at these curious little creatures during feeding time.
And that’s not all! A Farm House full of cute little chicks and various species of chickens and rabbits. An orangutan enclosure with a waterfall where they can freely roam. A Reptile House with fascinating reptiles and colourful amphibians. All these and more at the Safari Wonderland!
Operating Hours:

Water World
In this hot sweltering weather, it’s time to cool down at the water park! In the Kids’ Adventure Pool, a water playground with colourful slides, fountains, and water sprays are sure to keep them having a good time. For a fun family activity, why not have a go at the family raft ride? Swirl around down the waterslide together and have fun as you go along with the flow.
Looking for a typical beach experience? Take a long walk on the beach barefoot and feel the fine white sand between your toes. You can also sit back and relax on a beach chair as you enjoy the sound of the wind and waves. Want to relax in the water? Take a dip in the Lazy River as you bob along with the calming flow of the water in this long pool surrounding the theme park.
If you’re up for some thrills, you’re going to enjoy the “Big Ice Cream”! It’s one of the longest and widest waterslides in Southeast Asia. Feel the adrenaline as you slip and slide down this 108-metre ride. With heights of 20.8 metres and a diameter of 18.3 metres, the swirling waters and curling slides will have you shouting for more.

Entertainment is everywhere at the Old West, with creatively themed restaurants, disco, game centre, shopping village, bowling alley, and funfair.
