The light festival is held at Sireh Park Camping Site, Johor. It is a 23-minute drive from JB Sentral. If you’re not driving into JB, we recommend booking a Grab ride, which will cost around RM25.

The garden is open daily, from 8pm-12am. Tickets can be purchased on-site at RM10/adult and RM8/child for ages 3-12. If you’re going cashless, you can pay using the Touch’n Go e-wallet app (App Store | Google Play).

You won’t want to miss the chance to scream your stress away if you’ve been riddled with work or school. The voice-activated fountain is right next to the giant inflatable rubber duck, and you can challenge your friends to a shouting contest. The fountain can rise to a whopping 300 feet, depending on how loud your shouts are.

Here’s a chance to see the northern lights without spending a fortune on a plane ticket to Europe. Laser light installations around the park project auroras illuminating the night sky, creating an overcast of fantasy-looking clouds.


Over 150,000 flower displays

Take a leisure stroll through the stretch of flower displays and pose for the ‘gram with the multiple photo ops along the way. The garden has over 150,000 artificial glowing tulips, roses, and rice paddies. For flower enthusiasts, this is the next best spot to be at if you’ve missed Tulipmania or Rose’s Romance at Gardens by the Bay this year.


Giant inflatables
