A'Famosa Water Theme Park Ticket in Melaka
If I decided to go temporarily, I checked the fare and ordered the ticket. I arrived at the destination in 20 minutes and can be used immediately. It is very convenient and the price is much cheaper than that of the day. On the holiday, it costs 45 people and Klook only has 38 people. And don't have to line up

Cendol Kampung Hulu at Makan Avenue Melaka
Idk if it's due to COVID19 or luck wasn't on my side, but in my opinion it's easier if you buy it on the spot as it is more hassle free than booking online. the cashier seems to be not well prepared when it comes to online booking. it took much longer for me to redeem the voucher than buying it on the spot.

Melaka Wonderland Water Theme Park Admission Ticket
I found out that the title description [buy 1 free 1] is a bit confusing. During purchased, you actually need to select 2 adults. Based on my understanding, if buy 1 free one means if you buy for 1 adult, the subsequent adult fee will be waived. Please help to look into the description. Others all good. Cheaper than buying at the counter.
