Opened in 2024, Captain Quack Land is the latest attraction to open at Sunway Lagoon’s Night Park, giving kids a fun-filled and thrilling playground to visit as the sun sets. Enjoy kid-friendly rides and shows, with a splash of nautical magic.
One highlight is the Cannonball, a pair of aqua-fury slides propelled by a stream of rushing water. Also, the Wagon Wheel, a colourful ferris wheel offering great views of the night sky. Our favourite is the Grand Canyon River Rapids, a river rapid-style boat ride. And of course, be sure to grab a photo opp with Captain Quack himself at Lady’s Avenue.
Sunway Lagoon is an easy drive under one hour from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and makes for a good base to explore more of the city.
7. Find yourself spirited away at Japan’s favourite Ghibli Park in Nagoya, Japan
The buzziest theme park in Japan when it launched in November 2022, Ghibli Park fully unveiled all five of its themed areas in 2024. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the dreamlike world of Studio Ghibli, the creative minds behind classic anime favourites like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle.
The park is divided into five sections. This includes Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, a mind-blowing maze of all things Ghibli; Hill of Youth, with dazzling architecture from the sets of iconic Ghibli films; Dondoko Forest, a wonderland modelled after scenes from My Neighbour Totoro; and the Mononoke Village inspired by the mountainous landscape of Princess Mononoke.
The firth and latest addition is the Valley of Witches, which debuted in March 2024. This attraction brings the magical realm of Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service to life, featuring a towering 20m replica of Howl’s moving castle that puffs smoke from its chimney.
From Nagoya Station, take a bus or train to the Aichi Expo Park. Note that entrance tickets sell out quickly so you’ll want to book as far in advance as you can.
