There are a lot of things you can do there.. I'm sure you won't regret it!

First, you can explore the EcoPark. It's great especially for couples with children who want to be close to animals in its natural habitat. You get to see rabbits, crocodiles, binturong, monkeys of different sorts and many more! 

Sarang burung tempura.. eh, tempua! :p

Sleeping binturongs, and that's hubby on the right ye :p

Poor monkey stuck in the cage

That's a real eagle y'all! At first I thought it was a fake hehe

Don't miss out the animal show as well! Showtimes are at 11.00am, 12.30pm, 2.30pm and 4.30pm respectively.

Look! They can cycle!

And they bowl too! Heee..

Love em wabbits!

Also, don't forget to try out the Skycycle where you get to cycle across the park, and when I said cycle it's not the two-wheeled machine that you sit on and move by turning the two pedals, it's this one right here:

Penat jugak kayuh pakai tangan ni!

The best of all has got to be the Waterpark! From Ecopark, you can take the chairlift to go to the waterpark. I think we had spent a good 3 to 4 hours just to play there - it has so many attractions!

Weeeeee!~

The awesome view of the waterpark from the chairlift

Thirdly, if the lake water is not too low, you can also visit the Orang Utan Island by boat where you get up close and personal with the orang utans. We din go this time around coz we'd seen enough of orang utans in Sepilok already :p 

Anyhu, the last time we went there (last month to be exact), we stayed at Suria Apartment's studio apartment which is about 5-minute drive from the theme parks. Although it's located right next to the PLUS highway and the furniture is kinda old, it's clean, comfortable and has a very nice view. We had a blast with so many things to do! Great for family!

If you don't feel like spending the night there, it's fine. Just consider coming just for a day trip instead. In fact, I wouldn't recommend this place for a long vacation as you might get bored after a few days! Ha-ha, seriously. For more info, feel free to visit its official website.

p/s: Will definitely go there again.. nak main air! Hehe..
