Fun and play available for all ages

1. The Immersive Studio - Malaysia's highest altitude interactive light and audio experience

There's no need to travel thousands of miles to visit dream-like digital worlds when there's The Immersive Studio at Genting Skyworlds Studio Plaza.

Situated 6,000 feet above sea level, it is literally Malaysia's highest altitude immersive attraction. Impressive height aside, its insides boast interactive audio and visual installations, where visitors get to explore digital art and surreal worlds through breathtaking visuals and storytelling.

2. Eufloria Gardens & Sculpture Park - Largest floral glasshouse in Malaysia

Nature lovers, you must jot this down in your itinerary. Spanning a massive 12.5 acres in the mid-hills of Genting Highlands, the Eufloria Gardens & Sculpture Park - Malaysia's largest floral glasshouse - is set for a sneak preview in February 2026.

This green wonderland blends horticulture and artistry into a walkable experience filled with native and exotic plants and flowers, all set against Genting's nature-led backdrop.

3. SnowWorld - Refurbished winter wonderland with real snow

It's always oddly fascinating to witness snowfall in the tropics, and the revamped SnowWorld Genting Highlands is where you can experience wintry magic three degrees north of the equator.

But just because we're in the tropics doesn't mean you won't feel the cold. Winter coats are provided with each ticket purchased, which you'll have to wear to bear the bone-chilling six degrees below zero temperature SnowWorld is kept. The icy cold temps are necessary to keep the real snow the attraction uses from melting.

As you step inside SnowWorld, find a picturesque winter village complete with igloo houses, colourful cottage-style huts and castle-inspired structures. It's the perfect opportunity to snap a pic to fool your friends into thinking you've travelled to the Arctic in the middle of the year.

Once you've taken enough photos for your feed, make sure you hop on a Toboggan or sled to whizz down snow slopes and slides.

Ticket price: Adults, $39/pax; Children and Seniors, $29/pax

Eat local favourites and dine at luxurious buffets

4. The Lodge at Resorts World Awana - 18-hole golf course and al fresco dining with panoramic views

A perk about holidaying in Genting Highlands is getting to enjoy cool temperatures of 20 deg C all year round. You'll want to take advantage of this weather by playing a round of golf at their 18-hole golf course situated in the mountains. The course offers a challenging landscape of undulating fairways and tricky water hazards that make for exciting gameplay.

After you've tallied your scores, have a meal at The Lodge at Resorts World Awana, which offers al fresco dining against panoramic views of Genting Highlands.

The menu features crowd-favourites like kari kepala ikan (fish head curry), classic Hainanese chicken chop, and grilled lamb kebabs paired with mint chutney. It's the perfect spot to treat your family to signature comfort foods while admiring a view that makes you want to linger after a day of activities.

5. Park Avenue Restaurant - Seafood buffet from $46/pax

Voraciously hungry after a long day of fun, or believe that no holiday is complete without a lavish spread of food? Then bookmark Park Avenue Restaurant at Sky Avenue for a generous seafood lunch buffet.

Think never-ending refills and fresh catches of sashimi, prawns, mussels, oysters and even lobsters that you may want to loosen your trousers for more.

Buffet price: Adult, $46/pax; Child, $26/pax

Available on Sundays, 11am to 3pm
