Things to Do

These are in three different languages English, Bahasa Malaysia and Arabic.  Some attractions also have games, puzzles and artefacts on display to interact with the audience.

  • For a delectable culinary experience by the riverside, visit B’Beteng restaurant. 
  • One can also go in for a guided tour of Islamic Heritage Park in a buggy or a tram for a better experience. The services of a guide can be hired from the main office. However, prior booking is recommended.
