Sunway Lagoon’s first ever Walk & Hunt in the Wild saw more than half a thousand of Malaysians from all walks of life who took part in an energetic morning walk around Sunway Lagoon, followed by an exciting wildlife-themed treasure hunt challenge together with their teams of 4 to 6 members on a beautiful Sunday morning!

Held for the very first time in Malaysia, the event aimed to educate the public about the wildlife as well as to promote togetherness among their friends and family members, as they went through a host of activities and challenges throughout the first half of the day.

Participants were also greeted with a few iconic mascots including Sunway Lagoon’s Captain and Lady Quack, Sunway Pyramid’s Leo and Leona, Sunway Universities’ Samson the Bear, Chichi and Chacha as well as Milo’s Mascot. 

Sweet and Harris, the hosts of Malaysia's leading children's edutainment show, Chichi and Chacha as seen on Astro Ceria, also joined in the fun by taking part in the event, who both expressed that it was a fun day out and have learnt new facts about the animals in the Wildlife Park.

Following from the eventful morning, Sunway Lagoon had also announced the winner to its “Name the King and Queen of the Jungle @ Sunway Lagoon” contest which was held last year. Jonny Wong Kwei Ji, aged 36, who has named the theme park’s new pair of white lions Zola (male) and Zuri (female), which simply meant love and beautiful – both of which a royalty should have, won himself a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 home! 

The one-of-a-kind event is a walkathon combined treasure hunt, which took place at its very own newly refurbished Wildlife Park. Each participant also received a certificate of participation and they are also granted to an all-day access to the theme park for the rest of the day. Participants also stood a chance to win great prizes from Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, Lost World of Tambun, Lost World Hotel and Sunway Lagoon worth more than RM14,000 in total.

Sunway Lagoon’s Wildlife Park is Malaysia’s first fully interactive as well as educational park which is home to more than 150 species of exotic animals with more than 80 species-specific exhibits of exotic, small and friendly animals, a diverse range of birds, fishes, reptiles and mammals. There are also new additions to the educational park, which includes the white lions, pygmy marmoset and others.
