This was built during the premier tenure of Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the 5th Malaysian Prime Minister, affectionately remembered as the most Islamic-concerned prime minister up to that point in time. Malaysia was also the Chairman of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) while under his governance and hence, this park just had to happen.

Once you get the passport, just hop on the mini train and they are frequent. Only 3-4 minutes tops for each one to come pick you up wherever you happen to be at. Everything was as how they should be up to the floating rock at the mini Dome of the Rock. You will be amazed.
The only thing that saddened me was that the paint on some of the monuments had started to fade. They should seriously tend to this before it gets worse. I am screaming as I say this.
Also, the video shows in the mini auditoriums were all in Malay but with English subtitles of course. With some careful revamping efforts, I’m sure they can come up with some multi language audios on free earphones. At least they should have one in Arabic because it is after all an Islamic attraction.
You get RM2 food voucher and another one for souvenirs. The chicken rice was quite expensive but I guess they’re not targeting the locals with that. Worth a try if you don’t mind trying a staple Malaysian delicacy right by the river, or rather, estuary and along with all the view. The ice kacang was delicious with ice-cream toppings.
I didn’t go to the crystal mosque however but I’m planning on going there the next time I’m in Terengganu. You don’t need to pay any entrance fee over there as it’s outside the park.
This Islamic Edutainment Park provide whole other experience. The Islamic monuments from the whole world are brought into a park. Best if you pay for tram ticket so you get to listen to the information while on it, or you could just read! Prepare for a quite high ticket price. (Tips: buy ticket in a group of 20, reduces the price!) The ticket price should include the free tram and the place should be repair and maintain. The poor-maintaned facilities are mostly seen at the interactive monuments. You could rent bicycle, buggy or pay for tram to go around the park. It’s also children and elderly-friendly. It’s a place for the whole family. It’s like you went to 23 country in a visit. What a catch right!
