    The price is quite expensive 23MYR but definitely worth it. You could almost feel the realest experince during the war. Also, dont forget to try to crawl inside the tunnel :)

    Wear proper attire if you wanna try crawling, climbing in the real deep, dark tunnels. This place is advisable to visit to history lovers. Happy exploring !

    Honestly the best museum ive been too. Super fun and adventurous and love the spooky stories about this museum. Be careful while going through tunnels or climbing them, there's bats in it.

    Apply pest repellant for the mosquitoes, prepare water, tower and hat for the hot weather and potential sweat from walking as well. You can follow the sequence from the red paint on the floor

    RM20 for Malaysians?! That aside, this is a pretty educational trip for history buffs. Local students should come here for a visit instead of being cooped up in their classrooms.

    More of a theme park since there's a paintball park and a "spooky night tour" (with no historical basis). Wear long sleeves+trousers as there are TONS of mosquitoes. Incorrect facts and pictures.
