About Combo: Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast + Illusian 3D Art Museum

Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast needs no introduction to thrill-seekers across Malaysia and Singapore. One of the region's flagship waterparks, it sits in a stunning coastal setting in Johor with five themed zones, the region's first water coaster, and a wave pool so large it has its own claim on the world stage. With a daily capacity limit of 2,500 guests, it's an exclusive experience that rewards early arrivals.

The Illusian 3D Art Museum is the perfect antidote to a day of full-speed water action. Located in Kuala Lumpur's atmospheric Central Market Annexe, the museum fills 6,400 square feet with 36+ giant hand-painted artworks — all specifically designed for interactive photography. You don't walk past these paintings; you climb into them, hang off them, and pose within them. The Augmented Reality section, powered by WondAR Technologies from Hungary, adds an extra dimension by animating scenes in real time through your camera. It's playful, creative, and genuinely surprising — a world away from the waterpark, and just as memorable. Book both on Thrillark.

All 36+ artworks are giant, hand-painted 3D pieces specifically designed so visitors become part of the scene, creating photos that look impossible and genuinely surprising. The addition of an Augmented Reality section, powered by WondAR Technologies from Hungary, takes the experience further by animating paintings in real time through your camera.
