๐ข Sunway Lagoon โ Complete Family Guide
Sunway Lagoon is one of Malaysiaโs top family attractions, combining a large water & theme park, on-site 4โ โ5โ hotels and the huge Sunway Pyramid Mall . It sits about 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city centre and works perfectly as a 1โ2 day base inside your 10โ14 day Malaysia itinerary .
