COMING SOON (Episode II)

Two months later, we will have our first CITY OF KIDS in Petaling Jaya!!!

IMAGINE a replica of real city equipped with buildings, shops, theatres, streets as well as businesses and services, made and run by children!!!

KidZania Kuala Lumpur at The Curve in Petaling Jaya is 80% complete on schedule to open its doors to customers in mid January next year. Unlike other theme parks, KidZania KL will not feature any rides or arcade games. Instead, it will feature a child-size replica of a real city. It is aimed at children aged between 4 and 14, who will learn about the adult world as they get involved in role-playing over 90 different professions at more than 60 establishments, including pilots, television anchors, surgeons, chefs, firemen and policemen.

It is built like an actual city, with the buildings and amenities scaled down to children’s sizes. Each building in KidZania represents a real establishment in the community. When kids go into these businesses, the fixtures will be child-sized versions of the real business operations. Therefore, they are presented with an exact replica of how these businesses are run in real life!

Just Imagine - Your child arrives in KidZania via the airport and goes straight to the bank to redeem 50 Kidzos, the currency used in the city. With these 50 Kidzos, your child then starts exploring the city and its various shops. He/she can use the money to buy things, take lessons and such. When the money runs out, there’s no top-up option like many entertainment establishments. So what do they do? Well, go out and earn more kidzos! How’s that for an education in life?

This is an educational theme park that helps the kids to learn how to be independent and think out of the box. They will have to make all their own decisions, which helps them develop self-esteem and social responsibility.

This theme park has added Dell, TM, Nippon Paint and Hoya to its growing list of marketing partners. With this agreement, these partners are commited to set up a creative design centre, a telecommunications centre, a paint school and an optometry centre, respectively, at the theme park, introducing the notebook engineer, telecommunications engineer, painter and optometrist professions. Seven other companies are expected to join the list of marketing partners - AirAsia, CIMB, Honda, Media Prima, The New Straits Times Press, Pos Malaysia and Fitters Diversified.

Kids learn best when they play. Be sure to bring your kids to this ultimate play land!

Orang Utan - Bukit Merah Laketown Resort

Here’s an amazing Orang Utan fact: 97% of the Orang Utan’s DNA is identical to that of a human! In fact, the name ‘Orang Utan’, when translated from Malay to English literally means ‘person of the forest’. Not surprisingly, they are extremely intelligent creatures that have the ability to think, feel and express emotion the way we do. And, you have a chance to observe these primates' behaviour up close and personal at Orang Utan Island at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort!!!

The world's first Orang Utan conservation and rehabilitation centre - Orang Utan Island at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort was set up as an Orang Utan breeding sanctuary as well as conservation, research and education center to better understand this endangered species.


At the island, you will be taken through a 100-meter steel walkthrough 'cage tunnel' to come up close and personal with these primates. In a twist, you will be enclosed in a 'cage' as you observe the Orang Utans roaming free in their natural habitats.


The island can be reached via a 10-minute boat ride from the main jetty at Marina Village. The ferry departs every 45 minutes.


Let's explore....

G-FORCE X - Sunway Lagoon

Let’s try the feeling of being catapulted up to 120 km per hour, in 2 SECONDS rising to the height of 65 metres!!!

Want to experience the acceleration, complete weightlessness and the very exciting ‘ground rush’? If you are a truly trill-seeker, G-Force X is definitely the best ride for you to explore at the Sunway Lagoon’s Extreme Park!!!

Touted as Asia's highest and fastest slingshot, G-Force X is a reverse bungee jump inside a capsule which can be described as an anti gravity machine. It operates by restraining the participants in a seat that supports the rider in a comfortable reclined position leaving the rider looking skyward.

For those who are wondering to try for the first time…please BE PREPARED!!!
