The team had great fun learning up new skills & attempting to "kill" each other in the few modes of games that the marshals helped to conduct! Special thanks to Arthur, Wyendee, June and Shawn for their kind assistance & numerous tips. The team enjoyed themselves thoroughly & certainly wouldn't mind returning despite the fact that everyone was really tired & aching all over the next few days :D Oh yes, the place was clean & air-conditioned as well (but it was still quite stuffy with all the running around, sweating & wearing the helmet makes it even hotter).

It was definitely a fun experience and worth the time! The Escape crew members/instructors were all friendly and courteous and that definitely made the experience a lot more fun and memorable too. Among the highlights for me was first the trapeze session with Usman and Julkifli. Damn, there was a lot of excitement and also pressure, the fun kind, to perform the aerobatics, swinging mid-air from bar and ropes. Would do this all over again, thank you Usman & Jul! Other than that, the Atan's leap was definitely thrilling! If not for the long walk up, I'd have gone for the 5th attempt. The banana flip and wall climbing were fun too! Overall, all the different challenges had something unique to experience and will bring the inner-child in you outside. Looking forward for the next Escape session to further conquer some of the challenges and myself in the process. Fun, fun, fun!!!

Had a wonderful onsen experience at Urban Retreat! The front desk was very attentive and explained the different benefits of the onsen salts before the treatment started. The ambience was great and the onsen was a nice relaxing treatment. The ginger tea given at the end was also a nice treat :)

It's a great place for hiking. Do check for the weather if you are planning to hike here. As the trail is slippery after it rains.

FRIM -Forest Research Institute of Malaysia

Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on the nature trails. Then enjoy a bird's-eye-view of the trees by crossing the Canopy Walkway. This unique conservation facility is located 20 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur.

Reviewed By Travel_V0rtex

Johnson, our guide, was very knowledgeable and interesting, explaining all about seed dispersal, plant species, rainforest ecology and the local history of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM). The hike was great (although definitely bring mosquito repellant and wear long clothing and hiking boots for protection) and we learned a lot about the different species of trees and that the FRIM is a completely man-made rejuvenated forest of over 1,500 acres which used to be open-cut tin mines. Our favourite part of the hike was observing the "Crown Shyness" - a beautiful mosaic caused by a mysterious natural phenomenon where the leaves of the canopy layers "shy" away from each other. You need to book a guide in advance if you want this experience. We also did Batu Caves in the morning and then tagged on FRIM in the afternoon which is doable for a whole day trip.

The Secret Garden Utama

Reviewed By georgiovalentino - Hyderabad, India

It is located on the top floor of 1 Utama shopping mall and it has a huge collection of plants and flowers. I visited it along with a friend in the afternoon and it was hot, so could not explore it fully. It's better to go there in the evening. There is no entrance fee but there are very few visitors inside when we went there.
