All you need to know about Genting SkyWorlds and Skytropolis
Which Genting theme park to choose, you may ask? Well, for your next trip to Genting Highlands, you can take your pick between this popular resort’s two theme parks: the outdoor Genting Skyworlds and the indoor Genting Skytropolis.
Genting Skytropolis and Genting Skyworlds are two of Malaysia’s best theme parks.
Genting Skytropolis is an indoor theme park with plenty of fun activities. Step into a futuristic world reminiscent of your favourite cyberpunk movies as you tackle 20 rides and attractions in the park. Within this neon-lit world, the attractions are divided into three categories: Child, Family, and Thrill.
On the other hand, Genting Skyworlds is an outdoor park with nine themed zones inspired by adventure and your favourite films: Andromeda Base, Central Park, Unnamed Bison, Epic, Ice Age, Liberty Lane, Rio, and Robots Rivet Town. There are a total of 26 themed rides, including roller coasters, immersive 3D experiences, and an outdoor carousel. Just take note that for certain rides, kids must be at least 90cm in height.
Also, there’s no need to worry about a thunderstorm raining on your parade. If bad weather hits during 11am to 2:59pm during your visit, the park’s Rainy Day Guarantee will be activated, so you’ll get a free return visit ticket for your next visit. If bad weather hits between 3pm to 4:59pm instead, you can enjoy a discount of 50% off your return visit ticket.
