Sprawling
over 20 acres of land adjacent to residential and commercial developments in
Austin Heights, the Fun Village is made up of the Water Park, Adventure Park,
Sports & Leisure Park, Enrichment Park and a Golf & Hotel Resort.
While
Austin Heights started as a property developer in 2004, plans to create the
edutainment destination was initiated three years ago with construction of the
theme park completed in stages.
“The
creation of the Austin Heights Fun Village is part of our Corporate Social
Responsibility commitment to the community who have chosen to live in Austin
Heights,” said founder and managing director of Austin Heights, Datuk Ir Steve
Chong Yoon On.

“We want
to make Austin Heights commercially vibrant and very livable,” he added.
The
development, situated just a 20-minute drive from JB city, is designed as an
integrated fun and adventure entertainment complex for family bonding,
corporate teambuilding and group outings for local and foreign visitors.
Thrill-seekers
can expect adrenalin-pumping fun in the Adventure Park when they are challenged
to experience the longest indoor suspension rope course in Johor.
The
Adventure Park features rope and steel cable suspension structures that link
through the indoor entrance area to the open area that overlooks a scenic view
of the Water Park.

pool, Splash World water-play structure, Super Surf 6-lane multi-slide, Turbolance,
space boat, uphill and black hole flying boats, swim-up bar, splash pool, wave
pool, lagoon and lazy river as well as cabanas and picnic areas.
The
Sports & Leisure Park is made up of three indoor fun activities in the
Topical Ice-Skating Rink, the Drift Cart circuit and the Jump Street trampoline
centre.
Ice-skating
in tropical weather is now a reality in JB where a skating rink is created with
an artificial ice skating surface which is 95% similar to natural ice.
