Top 16 Best Things To Do In Genting Highlands 2024

Here are the best things to do Genting Highlands, Malaysia offers. Read through and select the ones that fit your interests and timeframe.

Have Fun At The Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park

Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park has long been anticipated with construction starting all the way back in 2013. It finally opened in February 2022 and can now be added to your top 10 things to do in Genting list!

The park features over 26 rides spread over nine differently themed worlds. Rides range from thrilling roller coasters to awesome 4D experiences. There’s also plenty of cool buildings to walk through and see.

The park themes are based on animations and include Ice Age, Rio, Epic and Robots among others making this a great place for kids. Kids can also meet their favourite characters and take photos with them.

There are a few places to eat as well.

The park is currently in a “soft-opening” phase. I visited in April 2023, and honestly found it disappointing with too much shut at the moment, especially with the high entry price.

However, all the pieces are in place for a great theme park. It’s very well presented with some great rides. The upside at the moment is that I found lines very short and plenty of family friendly rides open.

I visited by myself and was finished in two hours with some of the rides I was most hoping to go on not being open. Or, in the case of Samba Gliders, I wasn’t able to go on it unless I wanted to pay a RM20 locker fee!

I don’t think it will be long before this becomes the best place in Genting Highland to visit though. Once it’s all open, I definitely want to return!

Embrace The Cold In Snow World Experience

You would be forgiven for not thinking that one of things to do in Genting Highland Malaysia is to visit the snow, but it is. Snow World Experience is located at Resorts World Genting and is the best place in Genting Highlands (in fact the only place) to see snow!

Snow World Experience features frigid temperatures and is an indoor winter wonderland. This is a great place for kids. There is a large slide called the Toboggan slide, heaps of cool sports for photo opportunities and even an igloo.

Be Thrilled At The Zombie Outbreak

Located at Ripley’s Adventureland at SkyAvenue, Zombie Outbreak is another one of the attractions Genting Highland Malaysia offers. 

It is basically modeled as an out of control zombie apocalypse. Your job is to try and contain the situation. There are people dressed as zombies and things that jump out at you. It is worth it if you’re looking for unique activities in Genting Highlands. It can be a good activity for families but it’s not really suitable for young kids.

Hop On The Genting Awana SkyWay Cable Car

Possibly the top attraction in Genting Highland is the cable car. It is not only the best way to get from point A to B, but it’s also the best way to see the rainforest from above.

Hop inside a gondola (there are both standard and glass floor options) from Awana Station and travel the 620 metres up to SkyAvenue Station. The journey takes about 10 minutes. You can get a ticket with express boarding if there’s a line and you don’t fancy waiting.

Visit The Chin Swee Caves Temple

The Chin Swee Caves Temple is open from 9am to 6pm daily and can be reached from the Awana SkyWay by hopping off at Chin Swee Station.

This is a Taoist temple in honor of Reverend Chin Swee, who is believed to bring rain and offer protection from evil spirits. One of the Genting things to do is simply walk around this area.

The temple is intricately decorated with plenty of statues including a large statue of the Buddah. Next door, there is a stunning nine storey pagoda which is also one of the things to see in Genting Highlands.

The walk to the temple itself is fascinating as you’ll pass through the “10 chambers of hell” – a depiction of the path to enlightenment.

Address: Exit 68, Genting Sempah, Pahang, Bentong, Malaysia

Shop Your Heart Out At The Genting Highlands Premium Outlets

Genting Highlands is a great place to shop, and an attraction Genting Highlands offers is the Premium Outlets. This is a large outdoor shopping mall filled with premium brands, and great discounts can be found here.

Genting Highlands Premium Outlets is open from 10am to 10pm daily and located close to Awana SkyWay station.

Address: KM13, Genting Highlands, Pahang

Tour The Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm

Believe it or not, one of the things to do at Genting Highlands Malaysia year round is strawberry picking. This is because the strawberries grown at the Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm are a special variety that are able to grow year round. 

Walking around the farm itself is a fun thing to do. However, one of the best things to do here is strawberry picking. Indeed, this is among the best activities for kids in Genting Highlands. Once picked, you simply pay for the strawberries by their weight.

If you don’t fancy picking your own strawberries, you can purchase a variety of pre-picked strawberries as well as a range of other goods like jams and candies.

There are not just strawberries here. Mushrooms are also grown, as well as herbs, vegetables and flowers. There’s a 6-acre Lavender Garden to visit here too which is included in the entry fee.

Address: No.6, Lot 3707, Jalan Jati 2, Bandar Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands, Pahang

Explore The Lim Goh Tong Memorial Hall

If you’re interested in exploring the surrounding area then one of the places to visit in Genting Malaysia is the Lim Goh Tong Memorial Hall. This site was built to honor Genting’s founder, Lim Goh Tong. 

The hall is open and includes a wooden statue of Lim Goh Tong and some nice decorations. There’s even a pretty Koi fish pond here. There’s also a shop where you can purchase some food to feed the fish as one of the things to do in Genting Malaysia.

Address: Tan Sri (Dr) Lim Goh Tong Memorial Hall, Bentong, Pahang

Watch A Musical At The Arena Of Stars

At 45,000 square feet and with capacity for 5000 guests, a visit to the Arena Of Stars is one of the Genting Highlands things to do. This is one of the best places in Genting Highlands to watch a musical or see a show – particularly great if you’re looking for things to do in Genting at night.

Many famous celebrities have graced the stage here. There are also regular tournaments and conferences held here. Musicals are generally held at night. Located close to the SkyAvenue Shopping Mall, it’s easy to buy tickets online or outside the arena. Note, however, popular acts tickets sell fast.

Address: Arena Of Stars, Resorts World Genting Genting Highlands, Bentong, Pahang

And Shop, Bowl, Go To The Cinema And More

There is so much more at SkyAvenue as well.

There are tons of shops, cinemas, bowling and restaurants. I kept seeing more and more fun things as I walked around.

You can find plenty to do outside of this list of specialised attractions.

Check out what it’s like at the centre of SkyAvenue in the First World Plaza video below:

Explore The French-Themed Village, Colmar Tropicale

Another unique place among Genting Highland things to do is Colmar Tropicale. Located around 30 minutes from Genting Highlands in Berjaya Hills, Colmar Tropicale is a hotel and village modeled off a 16th century French village. 

You can enter the village even if you’re not staying at the hotel by paying a small entry fee. There are a number of shops and restaurants here as well as some pretty buildings and a central square with a fountain. 

The village is modestly sized and somewhat run-down but still interesting to see and explore. There are also some great hiking paths nearby in Berjaya Hills.

Address: KM 48 Persimpangan Bertingkat, Karak Expy, Bukit Tinggi, Bentong, Pahang

Take A Day Trip To Kuala Lumpur

If you’re done with Genting Highlands Malaysia things to do and want to explore attractions near Genting Highlands then the best place to go is Kuala Lumpur.

KL Sentral is an easy bus ride from Genting Highlands. Once there, you can visit many of the sites that make Kuala Lumpur such a popular destination such as the Petronas Towers, KLCC Park, markets, museums and Merdeka Square. 

We also recommend a visit to Little India for a different cultural experience and Bukit Bintang for the ultimate shopping experience.

Best Place To Stay In Genting Highlands

Genting Highlands is not only a great place to visit, but it’s also a great place to stay. There are many flashy hotels here and they’re generally located in the heart of Genting close to all the major attractions, especially if you stay at Resorts World Genting Highlands where most of these attractions are located. 

This is a popular destination and finding a cheap hotel can be more difficult at peak times. However, most of the time the options are very affordable. 

Below are my top picks for each price point including a budget, mid-range and pricier option.

BEST – Grand Ion Delemen Hotel Review

The Grand Ion Delemen Hotel is our top pick of where to stay in Genting Highlands. This hotel offers an indoor pool, a cafe, a range of restaurants, a fitness center and free WiFi throughout.

Rooms are very well equipped and include double and twin options, as well as one/two/three bedroom suites. This hotel has some of the best room options for families. All rooms have a large flat screen TV and tea and coffee making facilities.

The hotel is located 10 minutes away from Genting Highlands major attractions, and there is a shuttle bus that operates each hour for a small fee. This is a great place to stay in relaxing surroundings.

Click here for the latest prices.

MID-RANGE – Resorts World Genting – First World Hotel Review

Resorts World Genting – First World Hotel is connected to the SkyAvenue Mall. The best part of staying here is that all the major attractions are nearby.

There are a range of rooms for hire including deluxe and double rooms as well as twin and triple rooms. Many rooms offer nice views. Rooms are small but all include TV’s, safes and private bathrooms.

At most times, this is an affordable option for travellers. There is plenty of parking, a fitness center, a spa and several onsite restaurants.

BUDGET – Genting View Resort Malaysia Review

Genting View Resort Malaysia is located a short distance away from the main attractions of Genting Highlands. This is a clean and contemporary hotel and perfect if you’re driving as it offers free parking.

Rooms include twin, double and family options with two double beds. All rooms include a desk, flat screen TV, fridge and balcony. They are fresh and clean.

One of the benefits of staying here is free bike hire. They also have activities like table tennis and billiards, as well as a swimming pool. Free WiFi is also available throughout, and there is a restaurant onsite.

You can find our full guide to the top places to stay in the Genting Highlands here.

How To Get To Genting Highlands

It’s easy to get to Genting Highlands by bus, a cable car or a car. You can hop on a bus ride from KL Sentral to Awana Bus Terminal.

You can then take a 10-minute Awana SkyWay Cable Car ride to Genting Highlands. Hiring a car or taxi is also an option but isn’t as affordable.

If you need to take a bus, click here for the latest timetables and bus prices.

You can also hire a car to get you there by clicking here.

If you drive or get a taxi, I still recommend you get the Awana Skyway cable car up to Genting Highlands.

You can also read our full guide to how to get from KL to Genting Highlands here.

Genting Highlands With Kids

Genting Highlands is an awesome place to visit with kids. In fact, many of the activities Genting Highland offers are made even more fun by visiting with kids. This is especially true when it comes to theme parks and experiences like the Snow World Experience.

Even riding the Awana SkyWay can be a great experience for families.

We also think the Strawberry Leisure Farm is the best place to visit in Genting Highlands with kids. This is a lovely spot for being in nature and makes for a relaxed family friendly activity.

Final Words

It’s difficult to find destinations that offer as much variety as Genting Highlands in such a small area and a relatively convenient location. Not only is it filled with attractions, but its climate is totally different from Kuala Lumpur whilst only being an hour away.

It is a whole world and I think I’d go a bit batty spending more than a couple of days in Resorts World Genting, where you can barely see daylight, so thankfully, there’s some other attractions around this area to get out and about to as well.

It’s the perfect place for a one day trip or weekend getaway, and it’s made even better by visiting as a group or family. We highly recommend a visit here!

Best Things to Do in Genting Highlands for 2 Days

Things to do in Genting Highlands, Malaysia: I visited Genting Highlands when I was young. The number of rides, activities and other stuff to do here is endless. Malaysia itself is a fun place and the Genting Highlands make up for a cherry on top.

The first place that we visited in Malaysia was Genting Highlands. Genting Highlands in a synopsis is a large tourist attraction built on a hill station at the peaks of Titiwangsa mountains, Malaysia. Managed by Resorts World Genting, it boasts large indoor and outdoor theme parks along with a number of stay facilities at the hilltop.

Here’s all about the things to do in Genting Highlands!

Table of Contents

How to Get to Genting Highlands

Get there either by bus or cable car. However, we came to know of the cable car option much later. So we boarded a bus from Kuala Lumpur International Airport directly up Genting Highlands. For the cable car, from the Kuala Lumpur bus, get off at the Awana Bus terminal where you’ll begin your 10 minutes cable car ride to the top.

For the cable car, book your e-tickets online to avoid unnecessary queues. Klook offers cable car e-tickets for discounted prices – check it out below!

There are many buses to take you to the spot and you can board from different places as well. Check out this list of Aerobus timings , ticket prices, and more that I found to get to Genting Highlands.

Anyway, I slept through the bus ride as the flight from Singapore was a tiring one. I had a jacket on the bus and the air kept getting more chilly. We thought the air-conditioner was working on full fledge. With no option but to bear the cold, we hoped it’d get better once we alighted the bus.

But the twist was when we alighted the bus: The air was twice colder when we stepped out! I turned around and saw if I could get back on the bus. It was gone. I strongly suggest you pull over some thick jackets when you visit the Highlands.

Genting Highland Packages

There are many places to book your Genting highlands theme park tickets. Local agencies and online sites. Booking directly on the official Genting Skyworlds is a great option. Genting Highlands recommends booking online tickets to avoid queues and for the best experience.

Make sure to book from trusted sites like Booking.com and Klook. Since we’re a partner of Klook, our readers get better-discounted tickets. Get your tickets to the Skytropolis Indoor Theme park and Outdoor park on Klook here! (Third option is a Genting Pass where you can opt for multiple attractions for one good deal)

I’ve been to both Skytropolis and Skyworlds theme parks and I recommend visiting both . Although the Skytropolis is best for only kids’ rides.

Things to do in Genting highlands: A night at First World Hotel

Don’t worry, this is a day trip! We spent the night on Genting Highlands, but our day of exploring began the next day. We booked a room in the First World Hotel – supposed the world’s largest hotel with over 7000 rooms.

Anyway, we were super tired from the day’s traveling so we didn’t bother wandering around.

Accommodations at Genting Highlands

After having dinner at a restaurant in the hotel, we went straight to our room. It was a modest bedroom with a floor-to-ceiling glass window on one side overlooking the theme park. I pulled the curtains aside only to see the mist clouded outside. My parents assured me it would clear the next morning and we would be able to see the park.

The next morning wasn’t any better. The sun was up and we still couldn’t see anything from the panes apart from faint white sunlight barely making it through the glass panes.

1. Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park

I had seen the huge roller coaster and a Ferris Wheel on the outside and believed there couldn’t be anything fun to do on the inside.

Inside, I am talking about Skytropolis’s indoor theme park. And oh my, I turned out wrong! It was endless with the rides it had to offer!

And it wasn’t just for kids. There was a casino on one side where I tried to get in and eventually got pushed out. A super-realistic scary house to which we would be taken by a slow cranky funicular train. There were indoor rollercoasters, and so on. However, I ended up playing on little merry-go horses.

There was also indoor skydiving- which I couldn’t get into either. But hey, I did get on an indoor Ferris Wheel, Bumper car, and even a Columbus :)

2. Skyworlds Outdoor Theme Park

While the indoor theme had bumper cars, the outdoor theme park had bumper boats! Each was for a single person. For me, this was the most fun part of our Genting Highlands day trip. Apart from this, there was a bigger Ferris Wheel that we got on. Yep, I am obsessed with them- I just feel they’re majestic in a manner.

And then there was the huge roller coaster that I’d dreamed of going on for a long time. So I went up there along with my dad and stood in the queue for a while.

To which they said I was not tall enough for the ride. Damn it! Height doesn’t matter in life, right?- but somehow it did in a theme park.

I had no choice but to reside with a much smaller roller coaster not far from the big one. I never had been on one. But when I went on the smaller roller coaster, I was glad I made it back alive!

And then there was the ghost train. You see that happy little kid sitting below there? That’s me. He wasn’t smiling so much when the ride was over. The ghost train was basically a scary house with no walking involved. In other words, a scary house for lazy people.

Back to Kuala Lumpur

When you’re visiting Genting Highlands in Malaysia any time later, keep in mind that a day isn’t enough to get around for all the fun. Take at least two. We didn’t know that and we already had to be back in Kuala Lumpur the very same night. On the bright side, we weren’t done with Malaysia. We yet had to visit the Petronas Tower and Batu Caves. The day trip to Genting Highlands was our first stop. We visited the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur and the Batu Caves later. Hope you have a great time there! And do tell me about it.

We didn’t have any trouble communicating there as we could understand Malay as it’s similar to Bahasa Indonesia. Check out this article on my blog for some basics of Bahasa Indonesia.

If you crave local cuisines, Malaysian Food Street is where you should head to. This dining place features a total of 20 different stalls that sell popular dishes originating from various states and cities in Malaysia—from Melaka to Penang, Kuching, Ipoh and even Kuala Lumpur!

If you can’t decide which dish you should get, try out some of their famous ones such as the Hainanese Chicken Rice, Penang Fried Kway Teow, Hon Kee Porridge, and of course, Cendol. Plus, the dishes at Malaysian Food Street wouldn’t leave a hole in your wallet!

Image source: Wanhoi Yamcha FB

For those who are looking for great Chinese restaurants, then Wanhoi Yamch’a is for you. What makes this place special is their food presentation; they serve some of the most unique food with one of them being their signature Phoenix Pastry with Lotus and Egg Yolk Filling. This pastry comes in the shape of a pair of yellow birds sitting in a cage—how cool is that?

Second Stop of the Day: Genting Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park

Travelling with your small children aged eight and below? Get them on the bumper car for some laughs or they can also have fun on the classic merry-go-round.

Put on a pair of gloves, a snowcap, and a jacket, and get ready to walk around the village while the snowflakes gently fall on your head and shoulders.

Genting Snow World also features a fun tube slide called Toboggan slide, ancient Roman castles, and several 3D arts that are perfect for pictures. As for the ticket , the price per entry is RM 45.

Dinner: Burger & Lobster and East Court Restaurant

Image source: Burger & Lobster

Originating from the UK, Burger & Lobster is one of the most famous restaurants in Genting Highlands. Located in SkyAvenue Genting, this restaurant has a rather romantic ambience with dim yellow lights occupying the ceiling and bright red booth seats.

Just as its name suggests, they only serve three main menu items which are burgers, wild live lobsters, and lobster rolls. What’s great about Burger & Lobster is that they only serve lobsters that are fresh from their very own aquarium! However, do expect to spend your cash more than usual at this restaurant and keep in mind that they only accept walk-in customers.

If you’re planning on eating at a restaurant that serves healthier options, then head to East Court Restaurant on the lower level of Genting Hotel. This non-halal restaurant serves an array of Cantonese cuisines that is deliciously infused with traditional Chinese herbs.

Image source: Eastcourt

While they serve all sorts of tasty Chinese delicacies, most customers’ favourite menu is their soup. Nothing beats sipping a nice and hot soup in the middle of cold and cosy weather on top of a hill!

Breakfast: Coffee Terrace

Before you continue your adventure in Genting, make sure to get some good breakfast in your system so that you have enough energy to have fun! To do that, you can head to Coffee Terrace that can be found on the lobby level of Genting Grand. Keep in mind that this restaurant has a dress code of smart casual, so dress accordingly!

Coffee Terrace is where you can find a great breakfast buffet serving all sorts of delicious cuisines—ranging from local favourites to western, Japanese, Chinese, and Indian cuisines. The restaurant also has a very cosy ambience where you can enjoy your food in full comfort. However, the breakfast buffet is only available from 7 am up until 10.30 am.

First Stop of the Day: Awana Bio Park

Image source: Awana Bio Park FB

While Genting Highlands is famously known for its theme parks, five-star hotels, and shopping experience, not so many of us are aware of its beautiful mother nature.

If you’re someone who loves the outdoors, you should definitely include Awana Bio Park in your itinerary. What’s best about this park is that you can ease your mind with terrific scenery of nature while being accompanied by the cold weather!

Awana Bio Park is also a perfect place for bird watchers as it is the home to more than 250 species of unique birds—you can easily spot several magnificent hornbills perched on the trees!

Either stroll along the track by yourself or get a guided tour so that you can learn all about the 130 million-year-old forest. If you’re lucky, you might even spot the bat orchid, a rare species of orchid, blooming in its natural habitat!

Get Direction to Awana Bio Park on Google Maps

Lunch: Motorino Pizzeria and Five Guys

After a few hours venturing the bio park and admiring the beautiful nature, time to replenish your energy with good food for lunch. Located on the fourth floor of SkyAvenue is a restaurant called Motorino Pizzeria, a top spot especially for those who love Neapolitan-style pizzas.

This place is best known for its tasty homemade sauce and each of the pizzas you order are actually cooked in a wood fired oven! What’s best is that you can even watch the entire process of the pizza making from the glass window.

Not really a fan of pizza? Then include Five Guys in your itinerary. Originating from the US, this restaurant has been attracting customers for its juicy burgers and many special toppings that you can choose from.

This place also serves creamy milkshakes and hand-cut fries to accompany your burgers. However, since this is the very first outlet of Five Guys in Malaysia, you can expect to wait in long lines before you could get a seat!

Second Stop of the Day: Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Adventureland

Also found on the fourth level of SkyAvenue, this unique odditorium features a collection of peculiar and wacky items originating from all over the world. 

Take a closer look at those artefacts and enjoy a few other exhibits including the Jurassic Research Centre where you’ll be transported to 65 million years ago and meet the vicious dinosaurs that ruled the world, Zombie Outbreak where you’ll be running around, trying to save yourselves from the creepy zombies, and 4D Trick Art Museum, a section filled with creative and mind-bending artworks perfect for a photo or two.

Third Stop of the Day: Genting Highlands Premium Outlets

Before you end your trip, make sure to make a last stop to Genting Highlands Premium Outlets or GPO. This is a place that all shopaholics out there should not miss as it is equipped with more than 150 stores from various well-known brands ranging from Adidas to Kate Spade, Aigner, Michael Kors, Moschino, and Ralph Lauren.

Open every day from 10 am to 10 pm, you can enter one store to another without a rush and if you get hungry in the midst of splurging on your favourite brands, get some food and snacks at its food court before continuing your shopping session!

Get Direction on Google Maps

So, is Genting Highland a must-visit destination for your holiday? Of course, it is! You can spend the day having fun with your family and friends at its exciting theme park, experience snowfall at a European village, admire the beauty of a million-year-old rainforest, feast yourself with a wide range of tasty cuisines, and not to forget, go shopping at its premium outlets.

Either plan your short holiday in the nearest time or wait for the brand new outdoor theme park, Genting Skyworlds to launch its opening! Either way, Genting Highlands still can offer you endless fun.

This temple is built on a highland and shrouded by clouds. Besides being a  place of worship , it is also a  beautiful tourist attraction.

Some of the most interesting attractions of this temple are the Giant Buddha Statue, Nine-Storey Pagoda, Guan Yin Statue, 10 Chambers of Hell, Sky Terrace and Bridge of Fairies. Since it is a temple, there is  no entrance fee required  to enjoy the  18 attractions  in Chin Swee Cave Temple. If you are hungry, there is a 🥬🥦🥕 vegetarian restaurant  serving all vegetarian cuisine.

You can also  spend a night in the Goh Tong Hall Residence Room by donating a minimum amount.  It is a comfortable 🛌accommodation with basic amenities. This place makes a strategic accommodation as it is  near the Chin Swee Station , where you can take the 🚠 Awana SkyWay Gondola (cable car)  to Genting SkyWorlds the next day. If you don’t feel like spending your night here, you can take a  cable car ride uphill   straight to  Genting SkyWorlds!

⏰Hours: 9am - 6pm 📞Phone: 03-2179 1886 📍Address: Exit 68, Genting Sempah, Pahang, 28750 Bentong

Spending the Night in the Clouds

There are  7   accommodations near Genting SkyWorlds  where you can finally rest your body, soul and mind…at least for the night. The hotel ranges from the economically priced  First World Hotel , which also happens to be the world’s largest to   Crockfords ,  the only hotel in Malaysia to receive the prestigious 5-star⭐ rating by the Forbes Travel Guide for 4 consecutive years.

An Oddly Satisfying Place

While waiting for the   Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park  to open up at 2pm, start your day 2 by visiting  Ripley's Believe It Or Not Adventureland.  If you are buying the Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park and Ripley's Believe It Or Not Adventureland 🎫combo ticket, you’ll have to redeem both entrance tickets together at 2pm. So if you plan to visit Ripley's Believe It Or Not Adventureland earlier, it is  advisable to purchase the tickets separately.

You can  expect to spend 45 mins to 1 hour here  with the 4D trick art museum, Jurassic Research Centre, Zombie Outbreak and the Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium. Adults who grew up watching Ripley's Believe It or Not TV Series will find the odditorium nostalgic with all the  collections and odd facts on display.

P.s:  Make sure to visit the luckiest room in the world before going to the casino

Endless Fun at the Indoor Theme Park

The operation hour of the  Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park is from 2pm to 9pm . It requires a 🎫separate ticket from the  outdoor theme park,   but you can always  get your ticket for value from us at Traworld!  This theme park has  3 types of rides which range from low-thrill (suitable for family) to high-thrill.

There are about  19 fun and exciting rides  that you can enjoy with your friends, such as Chariot Cruise, Bumper Boss, Spin Crazy, Super Glider and many more! You can ride on all of them be it ☔rain or 🌞shine because   they are all  indoors.

What To Do After Dark?

At night, you can watch a show, play some nostalgic games at the  Retro-style arcade  at the Lower Lobby of Genting Grand, go for a game of 🎳 bowling  at First World Plaza or do something  haram 😈 at the 🎲🎰 casino  (strictly for non-muslims only ok!).

A Newly Transformed Outdoor Theme Park

Have a 🥞🥯🍞hearty breakfast because you’ll have an  exciting day ahead of you 😆 !  The rides and attractions at  Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park  are available  from 11am to 6pm.  You can always  book your tickets online with us, Traworld  for a  fast and smooth check-in process and at a very competitive price too!

There are  9 sections to explore in Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park.  They are Studio Plaza, Eagle Mountain, Central Park, Rio, Andromeda Base, Liberty Lane, Epic, Robots Rivet Town and Ice Age.

If you are going on a weekday, the queue for each ride is not more than 15 minutes. However, if you go on a public holiday or at weekends, expect to queue for an hour or more. This is why it is important to  download the Genting Skyworlds app . With the app, you can  queue virtually  (applicable for some attractions only) anywhere and enjoy more benefits.

It is recommended to quickly queue virtually for rides & attractions like Independence Days, Alpha Fighter Pilot, Epic Voyage To Moonhaven and Samba Glider as these are pretty popular and can have long waiting times.  One of the most recommended rides that you must try out is Independence Day: Defiance.  It is a motion-simulation ride based on the film Independence Day: Resurgence. Inside it, you can experience the  flying theatre.  This is not for the faint-hearted.

There are  many food options here in Genting SkyWorlds ,  and you can even exit and re-enter the theme park to have your tummy filled. For Muslims, you can find more  halal dining options at Jom Makan Street Food.  Meanwhile, many stalls within the theme park itself also sell quick bites such as SUPER LONG 🌭hot dogs, 🌮tacos, 🍔burgers, etc.

The  Awana SkyWay  only  operates until 11pm,  so  plan your journey properly  so that you can make your way home on time.

Have you already made up your mind on  which friends to  ajak  for a  3 days 2 nights trip to Genting Highlands?  Show them this  itinerary  so that you guys don’t have to plan one. Visit the Genting Highland Theme Park and many more now!

The number of calories in a 12-inch pizza can vary based on the type of crust, toppings, and the specific recipe used. On average, a 12-inch pizza with a thin crust typically contains around 1,200 to 1,800 calories. However, it's important to note that this is just an estimate, and the actual calorie count may differ depending on the specific ingredients and preparation methods. If you're looking for a more accurate measurement, it's best to consult the nutritional information provided by the restaurant or pizza brand you're ordering from.
