For many of us, growing up meant weekend trips to Genting Highlands. Throughout the years, the place has pretty much remained unchanged – until now.
Now that the Resorts World Genting’s Outdoor Theme Park is closed for renovation, why go down to Genting Highlands this June? If you thought you had outgrown Genting, think again, because 2015 sees the outdoor theme park at Resorts World Genting undergoing a complete overhaul. In its place, a new Twentieth Century Fox theme park with bigger, more exciting rides will open in 2016.
But from now till then, why would you visit RW Genting? Here’s a list of ideas including a super exciting light show you won’t want to miss this June.
Road trip movies are always fun to watch because of the heady sense of adventure they leave you with when the credits roll. This holiday, make your road trip dreams a reality by travelling across the causeway. For the less experienced, Resorts World Genting is an achievable destination, being only 5 to 6 hours away from Singapore.
You’ll find yourself amidst the clouds, looking down at nature in its unadulterated form. This is a breath-taking experience that you definitely want to include in your RW Genting to-do list.
Think lights – lots of flashing neon lights. Think songs accentuated by reverberating bass beats. Now imagine all of that going down in pitch darkness, occasionally illuminated by the blinding flashes of strobe lighting.
Nope, it’s not a club we’re describing, you party animal. It’s something way better, a) because you won’t have to do any actual dancing (yay for not being all sweaty and gross), and b) because you’ll actually be sober enough to remember how much fun you had
Best known as the dance troupe that finished third in the 2011 season of America’s Got Talent, iLuminate is a New York-based entertainment technology company that marries cutting-edge technology with electrifying dance performances.

Remember when you were younger and you weren’t allowed to visit the casino along with your parents? Now you can skip the $100 surcharge at Singapore’s casinos and try your hand (or hands) here. Play your cards right, and you might leave richer than before.
As a hardcore music buff, you’re always looking to get a feel of the music scene wherever you go, in hopes of discovering new artists to add to your Spotify playlist.
This June, take some time off from retail therapy at Genting to scout for cool live gigs that will get you acquainted with the local music scene. As with Singapore, several up-and-coming local artists seem to be dominating the Malaysian music scene – keep an eye out for names like Hujan and They Will Kill Us All.
If you need help finding live music gigs in Malaysia (or even back home in Singapore or Philippines), check out Bandwagon to locate the nearest music gig near you.

On one side, the place modelled after a quaint little village in the midst of wintertime. On the other, things take a turn for the whimsical with a castle, an igloo and several adorable penguins that you can pose with. Kids will also enjoy sledding down the slide.
