[poppy15]

okay, i hv been to Berjaya Hills - Colmar Tropical Resort... french/dutch buildings...


other than a rabbit farm, a stable, a japanese garden... we find it rather boring.

as for ipoh lost world of tambun, we spent a full day there - they hv various pools like wave pool, big splash, lazy river & also a pool for kids with slides & splash...

and apart from that, they hv carousel rides, games stalls, mini animal safari, gardens & yes, they hv hot springs too. even saunas...

we went there during the cny period this yr, so they hv alot of events gg on like lion dance, acrobatic shows, etc...

Angelight:

Vevey, how did you go to Berjaya Hills Resort? You drove or took coach/plane?

And is it really worth going there? Am planning the family year end vacation...

We drive. To us, the journeys r part of the hol, not just the destinations.

Other than the 1st time when we visit Bkt Tinggi specifically, the rest of the visits r just as stop-overs & detours from Penang, KL etc.. for the fresh air, rabbits, \"castle\". It's nice to c the kids being so excited.

Worth it? Hmmm...it's definitely not my 1st choice for Highlands, as I prefer Cameron Highlands (on weekdays) but that's not what u want, rt?

If it's me & have to meet the requirements & constraints that you had set, then I'll go KL shopping for a night or 2 b4 going to Bkt Tinggi for a night. :evil: But that's me lah~

Thanks, Vevey.

Hi Angelight,
Was re-reading the earlier pages & just realised it's not u but SP Mummy who requires shopping & cooling climate but not genting & cameron. Sorry abt the mix up.
U like highland? Then i highly recommend Cameron Highlands but try to go during weekdays as its much less crowded & won't jam on the way up or down. Century Pines is value for $ & just 10min walk to town w food options.

Which is better for shopping, food and relaxation (not theme park), Sunway Lagoon or 1-Utama?

Thanks.

I prefer Sunway bcos the shops that I like (mainly kids') r clustered together so it's much easier & faster to shop. There's an indoor playground that adults can sit & supervise the kids w/o much hassle.
I think more food options too even tho we prefer to dine out of the malls. Can't rem the name but I like the food in a Din Tai Feng style restaurant there.

1-Utama used to hv a supervised kids' play area (not sure abt now) when it was 1st opened, so adults can shop in peace. But it's a v long building!

:thankyou: Vevey. I have been to Sunway Lagoon and like you, I enjoyed the shopping there for the same reasons. I have not been to 1-Utama yet and so am consisdering between the two for my next trip. Thanks for your advice.
