; 3 Jln PJS, 11/11 Bandar Sunway; adult/child RM120/90; 10am-6pm)
There are few more fun ways of cooling down on a sticky day than splashing around at this
multizone theme park built on the site of a former tin mine and quarry. The highlights are
the water slides, and the world's largest artificial surf beach. There's also a Wild
West-themed section with all the regular thrill rides, an interactive wildlife zoo (ie you're
allowed to stroke the giant tortoises and cuddle the hamsters) and an extreme park with all-
terrain vehicles, a rock-climbing wall and paintball fights. Book online for discount tickets.
The easiest way here is take the LRT to Kelana Jaya (RM2.10), then bus T623 (RM1) or
a taxi (RM15) to the Sunway Pyramid. Buses U63, U67 and U76 (RM3) run here from
Pasir Seni in KL. A taxi from central KL will cost around RM25.

Putrajaya
Explore
An eye-catching array of monumental architecture amid lush, manicured greenery is on
display at Putrajaya, only in its second decade of existence. Covering 4932 hectares of
former rubber and palm-oil plantations, the Federal Government's administrative hub was
but a twinkle in the eye of its principal visionary - former prime minister Dr Mahathir -
back in the early 1990s.
