About Lost World Hot Springs and Night Park
Lost World Hot Springs and Night Park, Malaysia is a commercial hot spring zone within the Sunway Lost World of Tambun complex in Tambun, Ipoh, Perak. Fed by natural geothermal water and set against 400-million-year-old limestone hills, it operates as a distinct ticketed zone from 6pm to 11pm daily, separate from the daytime water and amusement theme park. The hot springs section can be purchased as a standalone evening ticket.
The hot spring zone includes an Infinity Pool accommodating up to 300 people, a Top of the World jacuzzi pool with hydrotherapy jets, a Foot Spa reflexology pebble path fed by thermal water, and a Steam Cave functioning as a natural sauna. The Crystal Spa offers aromatherapy and massage from noon to 11pm at a separate charge. A children's Saphira's Lair zone uses UV and luminous lighting to create an immersive rainforest environment for younger visitors. The Night Zoo, Tarantula Alley, and Luminous Forest (open 8pm to 10pm) add wildlife and spectacle. Ipoh Street provides local food and a fire show rounds out the evening programme.
The site sits within Sunway City Ipoh, alongside the adult-oriented Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat. The Lost World Hotel offers stay packages with Night Park tickets included.

Suitability & Accessibility
Who Lost World Hot Springs and Night Park Suits
Lost World Hot Springs and Night Park suits families, groups, and couples looking for a fully managed evening hot spring experience with entertainment options beyond simple soaking. The combination of thermal pools, spa facilities, a children's UV zone, night zoo, fire show, and food street means the venue works well for groups with mixed interests and ages. Children under 90cm enter free; those 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or above at all times.
The Crystal Spa accepts walk-in appointments from noon to 11pm for aromatherapy and massage at a separate charge. The Steam Cave is suitable for adults who want a sauna experience in a naturally atmospheric setting. The Foot Spa reflexology path is accessible to most visitors and does not require full immersion. Swimwear is required for all pool and water areas; the park publishes a swimwear dress code requiring Lycra or nylon materials, with a specific option for Muslim women using dry-fit modest swimwear.
Wheelchair rental is available at the park for RM30 plus a RM10 refundable deposit, and the venue is listed as pram and stroller accessible. However, wet surfaces, steps within the pools and spa zones, and crowd density during busy evening sessions mean full wheelchair accessibility is not guaranteed across all areas. Those with mobility requirements should contact the park in advance. Locker rental is available. Re-entry is not permitted once a wristband is removed upon exiting the hot springs zone.
Safety & Etiquette
Lost World Hot Springs and Night Park Safety Tips
Lost World Hot Springs and Night Park is a staffed, managed venue with clear rules posted at each attraction. The geothermal pools are maintained at safe soaking temperatures; the Steam Cave functions as a sauna with higher ambient heat and should be used in short sessions, particularly by those with cardiovascular conditions. Always exit the Steam Cave if you feel faint, dizzy, or short of breath. Pregnant visitors and those with heart conditions or low blood pressure should consult a doctor before using hot spring pools or steam facilities.
The venue operates primarily at night, with wet pool surfaces, dim ambient lighting in some zones, and high visitor density on weekends and school holidays. Walk carefully on all poolside surfaces; footwear is not permitted in pool areas but should be worn while moving between zones. Children 12 and below must be accompanied by a competent adult aged 18 or above at all times; the park enforces this rule and the site is large enough that it is easy for small children to become separated from their group. Establish a clear meeting point before entering.
No outside food or beverage is permitted in the park except for infants or those with documented medical needs. Pets are strictly prohibited. Swimwear dress code applies to all pool and water areas; inappropriate swimwear may result in denied entry to those zones. Lockers are available in multiple sizes for a rental fee. The park operates rain or shine with covered shelter areas available. Check the official Facebook page and sunwaylostworldoftambun.com before visiting for any attraction closures or temporary changes to hours, as Tuesdays are closed for the full theme park outside school and public holidays.
