Weather these days is very hot (around 30 °c ~ 36 °c)! I planned on bring Jelly to a water park but since she is still young and not being able to play most of the water park games, and she still naps often, so we decided to bring her to a near by MPSP Taman Tema. "Taman Tema" means "Theme Park" in Bahasa Malaysia. It is located in Bukit Mertajam, Kompleks Sukan (Click

As due to currently it's Ramadan month (Muslim friends whom fast on this month), it is less packed and due to
my kiasu attitude, the place is not shaded and the sun will be very hot if we went around noon, we manage to arrive on 9am and first to arrive! It was still not very hot and empty as it is only operating starting at 9am - 1pm (Detailed operating hour at the end of this post).
Although some think of Water Theme Park as a big place with lots of games to play. Unfortunately this Water Theme Park only have one kiddy slide, but lucky the entrance fee was a cost of a packet of banana leaf triangle nasi lemak! Yup, you heard me, it only cost RM1 per pax (adult & kids)!

You are not allowed to wear shoe to enter the pool premises.
Shoes are required to place on the shoe rack. |
Since Jelly loves being wet, it's worth for her to roam around the area. It is all fenced up so need to enter by the entrance. The bad side of this areas is that it doesn't have a locker and their toilet/bathroom doesn't have proper lock latch.
See, Jelly enjoys the pool very well!

Overall Experience:
The Good Side:
1) The place is not strict, and you can bring in your own float and pool equipment to play in.
2) This place has 3 pools with different depths(suitable for babies, toddlers and kids), but only 1 kiddy slide, so have to share while playing.
3) They provide shades and umbrellas in case you need to rest a while or to eat. They mentioned it is not allowed to being outside food but didn't be very strict in bring outside food, but make sure you need to keep clean.
4) Cheap entrance fees as I only let Jelly to play for 1 and half hours only since the sun is getting hotter. Worth the trip!
5) Free parking, they even have handicapped parking available.
6) The outside entrance of this MPSP Stadium is a Poke Stop! LOL... just in case you are playing Pokemon...
The Bad Side:
1) Toilet is not well maintained, with latch not working and smelly trash.
2) Pool is not very clean but free from tree leaves.
3) Be sure to keep your belongings close or don't bring any expensive stuff, because they don't have locker service, unless you wish to rotate to guard your belongings. I just brought a backpack with clothes and drinking water, our identification card and our phones. We didn't bring much cash on hand just to be safe.
4) Since the place is not shaded, better apply sunblock for skin protection.
5) Always keep an eye on your kids because there are no life guards around. Although the water is shallow for adults but kids can still drown.
6) No nursing or diaper changing room, so either you don't breastfeed or bring a nursing cover. As for diaper changing, need to do it in the car as the toilet is not very clean.
Price: RM1 per pax per entry (Adult or Child all same price)
