What’s New in the City of Entertainment?

Genting SkyWorlds, the much-anticipated Genting Outdoor Theme Park, is set to open in 2021! Genting is still a pleasant day trip destination if you're tingling for some cool breeze and fresh air while waiting patiently for the new theme park.

In recent years, many radical modifications have made Genting Highlands a new and almost unaware entertainment hotspot. So here are some of the things you can do at Genting now that it's been given a significant facelift and upgrade if you're not one for gambling!

1. Go on shopping spree in Genting Highland Premium Outlets

Genting was never known as a shopping haven, but the game rules have been changed with the new Genting Premium Outlets. Renowned brands such as Michael Kors, Coach, Hugo Boss, Kate Spade, and many others may be found on sale, up to 70% off. A new transit hub for buses and cable cars strategically located near SkyCentral's Awana station, getting there is quite simple.

Genting Highlands Premium Outlets is a great place to spend a day shopping, with everything from designer fashion to shoes and more. When you're weary and hungry from shopping, there are plenty of places to eat, whether it's the large food court or one of the many restaurants and cafés.

2. Check out Genting Skytropolis, the Indoor Theme Park

Although the new outdoor theme park may be shelved temporarily, we still have some great news! The new and enhance indoor theme park, Genting Skytropolis has recently opened. You absolutely will appreciate the newly renovated Skytropolis Funland if you missed that enjoyable indoor fun. Recently unveiled many new attractions and fun rides, it’ll surely keep you occupied for a few hours.

3. Haven for coffeeholics - Malaysia’s unique "Starbucks in the Sky"

Your journey to Genting isn't complete without sipping on some good old Starbucks coffee in the cool breeze. Although there's a handful of Starbucks stores up in Genting, this one's a unique one on the list - located inside the majestic Chin Swee Caves Temple! This store's architectural style is designated to fit into the overall look and feel of the Temple of Chin Swee Caves, surrounded by mountains and a dreamlike mist.

4. The doors of the most immersive virtual experience - The VOID

The VOID offers a complete realistic VR experience, by combining Hollywood characters and storylines with cutting-edge technology, physical stage, and multi-sensory effects, you can truly believe-even consider yourself as a hero in a parallel universe. The VOID Resorts World Genting is Asia's first of its kind, and unlike any other VR experience, you can see, smell, touch, and experience the impossible - it's genuinely groundbreaking technology.

VirtuGlobe, XD Theater, Vortex, RoboCoaster, and SkyGlider VR are among the five incredible Sky VR experiences. It includes everything from interstellar adventures to family-friendly forays into the unknown.

Disguised as a Stormtrooper and battle in the Star Wars VR attraction, sneak into the world of the Internet with Wreck-It Ralph, be part of the Ghostbusters, and more at The VOID!

5. SkyAvenue - The high street on top of the mountain

The former First World Indoor Theme Park is now a complex integrating multi-story shops, restaurants, entertainment attractions, and services. You will see it the moment you descend from the new cable car at SkyAvenue station.

With plenty to eat, see, and do, in Genting Highlands’ brand new lifestyle mall, this is undoubtedly bringing high street shopping to an entirely new level! Time is like a fleeting show while wandering around the massive new shopping mall.

P/S : Burger & Lobster, The Italian Motorino Pizzeria, La Fiesta and Park Avenue Lounge is a must try experience!

6. Explore the Ripley's Believe It or Not! Adventureland

The brand new Ripley's Believe It or Not! Adventureland is located at the top level of SkyAvenue. The entryway with its massive armored elephant on either side is difficult to miss. You may visit Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium, Zombie Outbreak, and Jurassic Research Center.

Go through the fascinating world of weird and wacky in the Odditorium, get scared in your dreadful Zombie Outbreak, and greet the Jurassic Center dinosaurs. Rustic carts selling local delicacies and artifacts also appear outside the sites.

7. Challenge Your Buddies At PlayTime!

For those who LOVE the arcade at Genting Highlands, don’t worry, you won’t be deprived of your video games. In the Adventureland area, there’s also an arcade, PlayTime!, complete with all your usual gaming favorites. Expect classic games like Pac-Man and Street Fighter to uncover your inner child, while newer additions like Time Crisis 5 offer an immersive first person laser-shooting experience for those who are up to the challenge.

Who can relate to the dreaded “Out of Service” service sign for that one popular game most of the old arcades? Since everything is still new, you most likely won’t have to encounter that at PlayTime! 

8. Theatre of Lights and Sound - The SkySymphony

Spreading across the mall’s atrium are massive LED displays and every hour, you can witness cinematic visuals combined with specially composed music. Free to watch for the patrons of the mall, the SkySymphony also has a four-story-high winch installation made of 1,001 winch balls.

Watch how this theatre of lights and sounds brings stunning visual storytelling together. It is also unforgettable whether you are looking from the bottom floor or the top.

9. Did you know Genting had become a new foodie paradise?

Are you up for a food marathon? In Genting? We all recall how inconvenient it used to be to choose where to eat in Genting. With limited options and long queues, enjoying your meal was the last thing on your mind.

You'll be relieved to learn that you now have more food selections than your stomach can handle! You can eat at the much-hyped Burger & Lobster London, the much-lauded Beauty In The Pot, the Brooklyn favorite pizzeria Motorino (with a wood-fired oven and all), or simply have a cup of coffee at Cafés Richard, a historic French bistro.

Apart from that, there is a slew of local favorites and familiar places, including Nyonya Colors, Madam Kwan's, Absolute Thai, Go Noodle House, and a slew of others. For those who prefer a food court, there's Malaysian Food Street, where you can gorge yourself on all of your favorite street foods.

10. Glamz At Genting - A millennial lodge offers a unique experience.

Up for experiencing glamping instead of spending your night in a hotel? Here's a fantastic alternative for you! Glamz At Genting is a glamping-style lodge shrouded in refreshing mist every dusk and dawn, nestled beneath sparkling stars in the cool slopes of Genting Highlands.

It provides a one-of-a-kind, laid-back glamping experience for people seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it's ideal for a get-together with friends, romantic vacation with your significant other, or even a family adventure. This nature-inspired glamping resort is surrounded by lush greenery, with a calm environment ideal for reuniting with loved ones.
