Movie Animation Park Studios Malaysia is the state’s second theme park after Sunway’s Lost World of Tambun. A two-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur, it is located in Ipoh, a historical town in Perak that’s known for its timeless charm, limestone caves, Buddhist shrines and hot springs.
Spanning over 210,000 square metres, visitors can find about 40 attractions and rides that are divided into six movie-themed zones. The colourful theme park features familiar characters and settings from Hollywood blockbusters, such as The Smurfs, Megamind, Casper and Mr. Peabody & Sherman, as well as local animation BoBoiBoy.
