Jerudong Park Playground
 |
The magnificent
"Crystal Arch" stands as a majestic sentry, at the entrance of the Playground
Gardens and the road leading to Istana Nurul Izzah. It has become one of the
countrys most recognizable icons. Weighing 7 tons, it is the largest known
diamond replica in the world shimmering in the soft light of dusk and brilliant
as coloured lasers spear through its centre to refract shots of neon light at
night! |
 |
Beautifully
landscaped gardens are the setting for this state of the art amusement centre. The range of rides will satisfy the most ardent thrill seeker, the fun lover,
children of all ages, as well as mum and dad. The parkland setting
is a delightful refreshing place for laughs, relaxation, or to take an evening
stroll. It is an extremely popular evening venue for locals and tourist
alike. Members of the Royal Family are often seen entertaining their friends
and guests here too! |
|
The up-market
food court, with its selection of regional and international cuisine - including
some well-known food chains - makes a pleasant setting for an outdoor meal.
The internet cafe lets international visitors catch up with friends.

In a hurry
to do every ride, or just want to enjoy the scene? Park facilities include a
fleet of 5 seat electric buggies operating a continuous shuttle service. |
|
Enter the
Sky Tower as it gently rotates and rises 78 metres to reveal a magnificent 360
degree panoramic view, or take a virtual reality trip in one of the custom built
simulators that have specially designed programs for Jerudong Park! |
|
Why not really
challenge the senses with more demanding rides such as "Pusing Lagi"!
Literally translated from Malay as "another turn", it is normal to experience
the skip of a heartbeat when this mighty custom built suspended roller coaster,
traveling at 80kph, along 810 metres of track, delivers five inversions around
tight corkscrew curls at a 5 G force rate! Definitely not for the faint heart,
but extremely popular!
|
 |
Young children
are well catered for in their own specially designed section of the Playground
that incorporates play equipment, custom built "baby" Dodgems, a miniature
train, radio controlled boats and trucks, and a spectacular replica of French
Carousel - best described as a revolving work of art! |
|
With only a Bn$1 entry fee, the playground swings, slides, play areas and lawns make Jerudong Park
Playground an attractive family destination in the evenings. There is
something for grandparents to toddlers. A Rides Pass at Bn$5 for
children and Bn$15 for adults gives access to all
the rides and simulators that day. The Playground rides begin operation at 5 pm,
and apart from a break at evening prayers, run through until 12 midnight, or
later. Only rain can stop the action. |
 |
Despite approximately
2,000 visitors to the Playground daily, the variety of rides and the dispersed
layout amongst landscaped parkland, means there is little congestion, and long
queues are rare. Some rides will operate just for you.
