    It happened to be raining during our city tour, hence the experience is not the best. And it was quite crowded even on a Sunday night. It's worth to experience it once to see the building with lights and enjoy the breeze

    The place isn't particularly big, but it's still quite fun. I'd recommend going there; they have themed events during festivals, and the large swimming pool has entertainment at certain times, which is quite enjoyable.

    There are some big reef tanks with gigantic sea creatures. Some tanks keep common species just to keep them filled i guess. Crowd control is bad as people were forced to stand on a slow conveyor in the tunnel section.At the exit, there is a long line as visitors are forced behind the photo booth even if they do not want to take photo.

    I stayed in room 401 and it had an amazing view of the Chew Jetties! It’s also in a good location and walkable to many other sightseeing places nearby. There’s also a lot of good restaurants around and at night lots of good street food across the hotel.

    That was big and 3 hours not enough. We went there on national day ( children day ) without knowing and on Saturday so it was so crowded . I’d we didn’t pay online then we would wait 1 hour more maybe and I asked about this after 10 minutes while waiting back of many people . There was only one negative thing. : just after enter they said us to take picture and it was free . We paid later , because taking picture free but if you want some of them then must pay : ) … We just got one big photo by choosing inside a few pictures , so paid 60 RM / if you get big picture or more than one and getting record of another pictures, that was 280 RM - and free panda doll and magnets , already we got 2 magnets free , too . If you have one option to visit on a day , if Zoo or Aquarium , let’s come Zoo but care about weather also .

    This was a nearly perfect trip. With the insurance premium of 2,260 yuan, we achieved a cost of more than 4,000 yuan. Usually, there are time limits for one-day and half-day tours, but buying a package ticket on Ctrip broke the time limit. The staff member who connected with Ctrip's Sky Mirror was a little sister. She was beautiful and kind, and provided thoughtful service. She helped to provide pick-up and drop-off for our tour guide Akai. He was thoughtful and professional, and was especially good at guiding children. He took us hiking in the mangroves and gave us an in-depth understanding of the mangrove ecology. If the children can communicate in English, they can also discuss and communicate with the English tour guide in the scenic area. When the children were tired, they were like big brothers. We encouraged them, and the time for Sekinchan, the fishing boats in the fishing village, and the wishing tree was perfect. The kids loved eating, so we took them to a special mango meal. Worried about being late for feeding eagles and watching fireflies, we took a detour. He was a very professional driver and guide. The kids wanted to eat roadside squid, and he found it for them regardless of time. The Sky Mirror trip was perfect and a place worth visiting. The photos we took were absolutely beautiful. I'd like to express my special thanks to the attentive and considerate young lady, the professional Akai, and the boat crew who took us on the boat trip. I'm especially grateful to the Sky Mirror photographer, who is truly professional!

Towering over the entrance is the majestic golden statue of Lord Murugan, standing guard beside the iconic rainbow-colored staircase—272 steps leading to awe-inspiring limestone caves and sacred Hindu temples.
