GENTING SkyWorlds opened its gates for a soft opening on February 8. The theme park is currently offering a 20% discount from its published rates for bookings until March 31. During this period, some attractions, rides, and offerings will be operating on a limited-basis, while some remain unavailable as they are still in the final commissioning process. 

To help visitors get the most out of their visit, here are seven quintessential tips to maximise your Genting SkyWorlds experience:

Book tickets in advance for guaranteed entry

Park capacity for Genting SkyWorlds during the soft opening period will be limited. As such, guests should plan their trip ahead and secure tickets as early as possible. Guests can book their tickets online via the official website at www.gentingskyworlds.com or via the Genting SkyWorlds’ Mobile App (downloadable via Google Play, Apple App Store and Huawei AppGallery*). 

*The App will only be available on the Huawei App Gallery in April 2022

Download the Genting SkyWorlds Mobile App

The Genting SkyWorlds Mobile App is an absolute essential for visitors to the theme park. With real time information, the app enables guests to navigate and experience the park. They can also check wait times for rides, attractions, and shows, as well as receive promotional offers and vouchers. Guests can also discover dining, shopping, skill games, photo services, and locate amenities. 

The app also integrates with the Virtual Queue (VQ) - a attraction reservation and Itinerary Planning service. This feature allows guests to make reservations for selected attractions and experiences prior to and during their visit to Genting SkyWorlds. The VQ experience also allows guests to:

  • pre-book preferred time slots for rides and attractions, 
  • create and edit boarding groups for multiple ticket holders, 
  • view recommended itineraries from personal preferences, and 
  • receive real-time alerts for bookings, among other features.

Plan your visit

To maximise time at Genting SkyWorlds, utilise the app to familiarise yourself with the park and identify preferred rides and attractions. 

There are numerous ways to get to Genting SkyWorlds. From the Klang Valley, the quickest way is perhaps by car. Other convenient ways of getting to the resort include bus, e-hailing rides or the Awana SkyWay cable car from Genting Highlands Premium Outlets.

Pack all essentials

For the best experience at Genting SkyWorlds, wear comfortable clothes and covered shoes. Perhaps bring a jacket or cardigan as the weather in Genting Highlands can get chilly. A spare change of clothes may be necessary, as there are a couple water-based rides. Locker facilities are available for rent for guests to store their personal belongings. 

While outside food and beverages are not allowed inside the theme park, there is a selection of food and beverage outlets to cater to a variety of taste buds, dietary needs, and budgets. 

Cashless Theme Park

Genting SkyWorlds is a cashless theme park, hence, it is recommended to prepare a Genting e-Wallet to make any purchases. All that is needed is to set up the e-Wallet through Resorts World Genting’s mobile app or the GeMCard to make purchases in Genting SkyWorlds. E-Wallet kiosks are available in-park for new purchases, reload and/or refund. Genting SkyWorlds also supports other contactless payment methods such as,

  • Credit / Debit Cards
  • QR Pay or E-wallets provided by T’nG, Alipay, WeChat, Maybank, Grab Pay & Boost Pay

Safety first

The theme park is open to fully vaccinated guests. Non-vaccinated guests who are 12 years old and below and from the same household are allowed to enter the theme park accompanied by fully vaccinated guests. To ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience, it is essential that guests adhere to all rules, regulations, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) such as wearing a face mask at all times, MySejahtera QR scanning for contact tracing, using contactless or cashless payment as well as practicing physical distancing.

Be prepared for a fun-filled adventure

Built across 26 acres at an elevation of 6,000 feet above sea level, Genting SkyWorlds features nine movie and adventure-inspired ‘worlds’. Even during the soft opening period, there is plenty to experience and with the unique cool climate, it can offer an escape from work, school and the heat. – The Vibes, March 2, 2022
