<![CDATA[Travel: Malaysia - Genting]]>Planning for a short getaway to Genting (3days 2night) in Aug…Besides my family (hubby, Me, 3yr gal, 2 yr son & maid), my in-laws and relatives will be coming along…Can you share your experience with me? Is Genting "child-friendly"? What about First World Hotel? I’ve got some concern becoz:


1) I am 4 mths preggy now…dunno whether i can tahan the 6hrs drive to Genting in the coach? ever since my pregnancy, i have not travel more than 2hrs but i look at preggy mummies flying to Hongkong, Japan, etc at ease, if they can do it, i think i shld be able right ? Any preggy mummies to share your experience?

2) I am bringing my maid along, is there any special permit, etc that i need to take out before she leave Singapore with us?

3) My son is still drinking formula milk, not sure whether First World Hotel include electric kettle to boil water? Those who has stayed at this hotel before, pls share your experience with me…like things to request from hotel before hand, what type of room, etc…

4) Which theme park, rides more appropriate for my 2 children? is it worth it to get the day pass?

Thank you in advance & have a fulfilling and stress free Monday ahead!!

Genting outdoor theme park will be closed from 1/9/13 for 2 years to undergo major redevelopment.

That's good news but then new ticket price will go up too..

We took a cab from the bottom main station at rm10 per car. The shuttle charges rm2 per pax so if you have more people taxi mayb more worth it. The shuttle doesn't come often.

The farm is pathetic but for my kids first time, I think it's still worthwhile to make a trip down.

Hope you will enjoy.

what is \"bottom main station\" ar? The one at genting hotel there is \"top station\" right? Then there is the \"mid hill\" that I heard many people talking about. I heard there are some shops and a bus terminal nearby.

Really hate the idea of taking cable car. The sg one, which I took recently, was ok although I hardly moved at all (scare la). I think the genting one would sure be worse...

There shd be 5adults and 1 kid for my group. Would need to split cab...

So when u take cab, u don't take the shuttle anymore right?

Sorry, so many qns. Never been there before and dont really know genting well.

2 yrs back when we went there, the cable car could stop at the temple. This time we went, we realised only two stops. From genting to thr ground main station. Initially we were quite confused whn we saw only one stop, the staffs there dun speak decent eng but since we are not going to the temple again, we didny care much.

When you reached the ground station, look for the sign that says to strawberry park, I think 2 floor down. There will be people trying to ask you to take taxi. You can try bargain if you want. He quoted us rm10 and since we didny want to wait for the shuttle we hopped into the cab. We got four pax 2a and 2c. The cab will bring you to the farm.

Anyone been to the strawbbery farm? How do u get there?


Thinking of going somewhere near by but cooling in July. Genting and Cameron highland came to mind.

Go down from Genting by cable car. There is shutter bus at the cable car station (RM$2 per pax). Or can take taxi (of course more ex).

Wow great, thanks for sharing. I assume the other places of interest in their web are within the same farm?

Will you be taking a cab down or from the bus terminal.

Years back, we tried taking the cable down to the terminal and did see a farm signboard that says within vicinity. But we roamed around by walking only saw the stable and gave up.
From what I read from other blogs, it looks like all the farms are next to each other. Eg. http://cavinteo.blogspot.sg/2013/01/genting-strawberry-leisure-farms.html

Not sure about taking the cab or the cable car. Shall see how when we get there 😉

Anyone knows any fruit picking farm around genting area?


Or any interesting place to visit outside Genting?

Read somewhere about the strawberry farm. The blog mentioned that can take the cable car down to the bus terminal and the strawberry farm has a buggy pick-up there. If not, just take a cab down from the hotel.

We will be dropping by during the june holidays 🆒

Both my kids didn’t like the rainforest splash park as the water was too hot for their liking. My boy commented it was like soaking in a hot spring.

We didn’t get the annual pass as we usually only stay for 2 nights max. 1 full day is sufficient for the outdoor theme park. Night time is usually reserved for indoor theme park and arcade.

We found it quite OK to stay at Theme Park hotel as we could return to the hotel easily for afternoon naps and lunch when we visited the outdoor theme park. It is not that far to First World plaza if you take the sheltered internal route.
