There was no proper kitchen utencils to use, boiler was will rust, no cleaning service even when I called for it so we ended using the same bedsheets. Not until... More

I find it a bit costly whereby other than paying RM45/adult as entry fee, lots of activity in this theme park actually has to be additional charge, even though these activity may be as simple as a train ride, elephant riding etc. The parade was average where you will have a feel like a very high mixture of everything ......

Show was good, animals were tame. Close an eye on cleanliness and you'll do fine. Children loved the elephant rides and train rides, but management could do better on the equipment maintenance. During exit point, the "cowboy" that cut off the wristband was not gentle at all! the scissor cut right through my flesh and it was bleeding. Best of... More

My first visit was 2007. I just returned one day january 2012 to visit it again. Memories of an extraordinary city.All historical attractions are concentrated in its centre which encompasses Jonker Walk which houses Malacca's traditional Chinatown that exhibits Peranakan architecture. The Famosa Fortress on St Paul's hill is one of the oldest european architecture present in south east asia,... More

Before going there, I've read the reviews from TripAdvisor beforehand. It seemd that it has received negative reviews alot. However, since I haven't been there before, I just wanted to give it a try. As the cowboy town itself, if you bring your small children along, maybe they will enjoy the funfair booths and other attractions like the train ride.... More

We rented a 4 bedroom bungalow with a private pool. However, pictures on the brochure looks better - can be misleading! Bungalow needs re-painting. The hotel reception was okay. Cowboy Town was much better many years back hence in comparison, the amount paid is not equal to the service provided. Please do something otherwise it will end up like a... More

I visited the Cowboy Town at A'Famosa resorts in October 2011 on a weekend along with my wife and two small kids. The Cowboy town opens in the evening around 6pm with the subsequent Carnival show scheduled around 830pm. We had visited this place in 2008 and hence were bound to compare with our previous visit. The place now looks... More

To be quite honest, maybe I had too much expectations, but I was disappointed. Everything was in theme of the wild wild west of course. I went with a group of friends, who made the whole experience still something memorable, but that's like... totally because of THEIR presence and not because this park was a blast. Before we came to... More
