Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 894 reviews
Ipoh World (IpohWorld) is an education-based, not-for-profit organisation established in 2004 to promote awareness and appreciation of Perak, the Silver State of Malaysia and its unique, diverse and rich heritage, with particular focus on Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. In 2006 we ran our first public exhibition "The Story of Ipoh: From Feet to Flight", in cooperation with Darul Ridzuan Museum. Since then, supported by sponsorship, we have run several more Exhibitions while continuing to seek further financial support for a permanent, lively and interesting heritage gallery for Ipoh, thus enhancing both education and tourism. This current project, our first permanent, museum quality exhibition is our first step to fulfilling this objective. Advance booking is recommended as space in the building is limited. You may book via our website by clicking on Exhibitions or by the QR Code on our brochure. It is quick and easy and you receive a booking confirmation by return.

Booked via website 30 minutes before stated tour time, got immediate confirmation via email. It was a very informative tour on the history of Hakka tin miners, why and how they came to Malaysia (it was because of their background & experience in mining in China), their life and history. Well worth the visit!

We visited this place out of curiosity.
It was really worth the trip.
Very peaceful atmosphere and astonishing temple.
We also enjoyed the barefoot path for reflexology purposes. My husband was able to fully feel his feet after walking on the path, no more numbness.

The staff here are excellent and assisted with taking the pictures as well as instructing us on where to stand. They also capped unruly kids walking around out of the way. There are about a dozen scenes to take pictures on and the cost to get in 19 ringgit.

When we were in Penang, I looked for some of the artwork featured on postcards I saw there, but didn't run across it. In the end, some of them seem to be here -- in Ipoh! Artistically the street art in both places is similar, and some are faded (the hummingbird) and some are still in pretty good shape. Found a map that highlights each of the art pieces, so look for such a map and go hunting!

Your first response is likely that they copied the idea from Penang but never mind, it is interesting to find each of the sketches and relate it to the neighborhood they are located in. We discovered Cocubine Lane in the process! Do it at a leisurely pace as then you give yourself time to stop and try food and drinks that draw your attention.

Kids started out a little disappointed as my boy who was below 1m could not get on some of the rides. Even then there were only a handful of rides. But they quickly perked up when we were nearing the petting zoo - from feeding...MoreHi Roger90050132, Thank you for your kind review. We're glad to know you had a great time here at Lost Word.
