Landmark
Jerudong Park is the largest and most famous amusement park in Brunei, located in the Brunei-Muara district. Opened in 1994, it was originally a personal gift from the Sultan to his people, which is why admission was completely free during its early years. In its prime, it was considered one of the most expensive and advanced theme parks in Southeast Asia, even hosting world-renowned artists like Michael Jackson for exclusive concerts. Today, the park gives a variety of attractions, including thrill rides, a water park, and its famous musical fountain. The grounds also feature extensive gardens and food courts that attract many families, especially during weekends. While the park has undergone modernization to update its rides, it retains a nostalgic charm and remains a symbol of the sultanate's prosperity and generosity. It continues to be a central destination for domestic tourism and leisure.
