Scenic park built on a former tin-mining pool surrounded by dramatic limestone formations. A short ferry ride crosses to walking tracks, a playground, and a boat ride area. Wild monkeys are present throughout.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children who can appreciate dramatic limestone scenery and a calm waterside walk. The short ferry crossing excites younger kids, and the fish-feeding jetty is a free bonus. Do not bring food into the park - monkey encounters escalate quickly when food is visible.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Leave all food in the car - monkeys will aggressively pursue anyone carrying snacks
⏰The fish-feeding jetty near the entrance does not require a paid ticket - visit it before or after entry
🎟️Wear sturdy footwear for the walking tracks, which can be uneven near the limestone formations
πŸš—Check renovation status of attractions before visiting - some areas are periodically closed for works

β€œHonestly, the view here is super nice! The limestone cave structures are just amazing to look at. It’s a great spot for a stroll because the walking track is quite long and relaxing. There’s a playground if you have kids, too. Just watch out for the monkeys-they are everywhere! πŸ’πŸŒΏβ€

β€œAt rm3 and rm1.5 per entry for adults and seniors 55 years old and above, respectively - this small little park, built from a used-tin mining pool offers a 3 minutes, two way ferry ride of about 20 passengers that brings visitors from a small jetty crossing over the pool to an area with just a handful of mini attractions such as the Perak House, Adabi House, a single porcupine enclosed within a cage as its companion had died of old age while all other animals have been relocated to the petting zoo within walking distance which has its own entrance fees. The small area is infested with over 300 monkeys and walking around takes about 40 minutes with nothing much to see really. No food is sold within here as the monkeys can get pretty hostile. You can opt for a 5 mins tram ride for rm7 to skip all the walk. The best attraction to me was feeding the huge Toman fishes and turtle at the jetty before entrance point where you can buy bread for the fish without paying the entrance fees and the ferry ride.”

Overview

Gunung Lang Recreational Park centres on a calm lake enclosed by towering limestone hills. A two-way ferry ride crosses the pool to an area with walking tracks, limestone cave structures, and a playground. The park is compact - most visitors complete the circuit in under 45 minutes. Aggressive wild monkeys target anyone carrying food, so leave snacks in the car. A separate fish-feeding jetty area is accessible without entry tickets.
