The park began operating in 1992[1] and was officially opened by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, on 29 April 1993.[2]

In 2008, Scream Park was added as a new park in collaboration with Lynton V. Harris.[3] The theme park added a surf simulator, the FlowRider, in 2010;[4] Waterplexx 5D in 2012;[5] and Vuvuzela, a water slide in 2013.[6]

In October, Sunway Lagoon launched the Halloween theme festival, Nights of Fright.[7] In 2007, Wildlife Interactive Zoo was opened to the public.[8] In 2015, a pair of white lions, Zola and Zuri, were added to the Wildlife Park.[9]

In 2016, in partnership with Lynton V. Harris, Sunway Lagoon announced the addition of "The Ghostbusters Adventure Live!" to its Scream Park.[10] Sunway Lagoon also unveiled the addition of White Tigers to its wildlife family.
