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). |
