I did not go the office. I booked by calling the Spore Number.
I don't feel comfortable giving the credit card details (including the 3-digit code) by email , so i paid by cheque to a Maybank Account Number given by them.

I book online make payment by credit card . I choose to pay in S$ but when I received the credit card bill still in RM. I paid Rm 528 per night for the condotel during CNY period.

My friends and I stayed at Condotel at A'Famosa recently.


The place is quite run-down actually... but the rooms / unit were still alright. Spacious and large enough for a family of 4.

The Cow boy theme park doesn't open till the evening and we gave that a missed cuz we drove out to Malacca. Didn't go to the Water theme park and Safari too cuz entrance fee per car is RM$3 and we had just unloaded our cars of our luggage hence no swimming gear with us. So can't tell whether the place is worth visiting.

There is horse-riding (3 rounds but the round is really small) and mini go-kart for kids.

We took some pictures and they are up on my girl's http://preciouscheryl.blogspot.com/2010/12/road-trip-with-racing-team-part-3.html

Thanks everyone for all the information provided. I have confirmed my booking via fund transfer by my brother in law in Msia. Noticed that more worth to pay in RM instead of S$ becos the rate they used was 1S$:2RM.


Will update yours the conditions after i back from the trips.

Hello ,

I just came back

Cowboy Town
==========

I believe the price quoted is purely entrance fee.

Adult package incl. Carnival+4D+Western Set Dinner $65RM
Child package incl. Carnival+4D+Weatern Set Dinner $60RM

IF you do not want dinner (worth $25RM) , you can deduct $20RM from the package.

Its no point visiting the Cowboy Town without seeing the Red Indian Show and Carnival. The whole place is quite old and run-down. A couple of the children's rides are not working. However we still enjoyed ourselves. The carnival (incl. animal parade,floats,fireworks) was the major highlight and very entertaining. The performers really worked their socks off, donning different costumes and came back to the parade as different characters. The 4D show (option of something underwater world or Haunted house) will be similar to shrek 4D at RWS Universal Studios. Sound effects and environment is inferior than that of RWS,however still good entertainment for us.

Water World + Safari
==============

We pay the package price for 2 parks. You would need to visit both parks on the same day (sufficient time). You will enjoy further discount if you visit all 3 parks on the same day.

Adult = 65RM (incl. set lunch)
Child = 51RM (incl. set lunch)

Safari :

There is quite a good variety of animals. Children can take pony/elephant/camel rides and pay for animal feeding (rabbits,sheeps,emus...etc) at reasonable price (as compared to the Singapore Zoo). You also get to sit in a caged truck/bus to see lions,tigers,giraffes....etcThe elephant show, animal show, wild wild west show (of course not as good as waterworld at Universal Studios) are also quite entertaining. You would notice some of the performers are the same people from the carnival show at cowboy town.

Water World :

Similar setup as Sunway Lagoon with wave pool, lazy river, some tube rides...etc. As my children are still young , we only played at the kid's adventure pool and wave pool. True as in some forums , the water world looks old, the water is not as clear and with leaves, people entering the pools with no proper entire. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed ourselves at the park.


In Summary, the 3 parks look old and run-down , but it is still very value for money, with the amount of entertainment and enjoyment you can get.
Would still highly recommend this for a short family getaway.
