Skyrides Festivals Park - The Sky's the limit!

I’ve watched Ninja Warrior a couple of times but little did I know we have similar training ground located here in Pricint 2 in Putrajaya. I was surprised to see a few guys having fun at this site.
Have your tried?

Here was what I gather during my trip here… Skyrides Festivals Park covers Skyrides Balloon, SkyWarrior, SkyGallery, SkyCruise, SkyKids amusement centre for children, and obviously SkyTaste and SkyCafe. This is definitely a great place if you want to expose your kids (and yourself) to some good and safe outdoor activities. And I highly encourage families to come and spend some quality time here….

One I personally like would be the Skyrides Balloon whereby an adult MyKad holders are charged RM38 and children for RM30. The other activities worth spending your dollars and time would be the SkyWarrior (for those highly energetic few), it’s RM10 with unlimited tries. Meanwhile for the Skycruise, it costs RM20 per person. I guess the question boils down to why I favour the Skyrides Balloon? For a very simple reason as below:

Why

• This is the closest to a hot air balloon I can get
• It is in Putrajaya, approximate 30 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur
• It’s afforadable (MyKad – Adult RM38, Kid RM30, Non-MyKad – Adults RM68, Kid RM60)
• I get to view the whole Putrajaya from the height of 150 metres
• I feel like a Queen looking at my land/country (muahhahahhaaa…..)

Few tips that might be of help to those planning to do one the above few excursions.

#TravelTips

• If you are scared of height – forget about it (it’s wobbly too)
• Bring sunblock/sun screen!
• Apply sunblock/sunscreen (jangan pulak bawak then tak pakai *wink*)
• Hat or cap is a must!
• MyKad for the discounted rate (obviously)
• Change of clothes if you plan to experience the SkyWarrior.
• A bottle of water as you’ll get dehydrated
• Camera! The view update there is fantastic (and the view you falling down while SkyWarrior-ing will be hilarious)

Modern Craft for the New Generation in Selangor

In building Selangor as the state of craft center, we; the media was educated with few types of craft during our Kembara Kraf Selangor. With the little knowledge I had earlier, I learnt that one should not only limit herself to what traditional available, always be pro-active and curious, learning new craft and venture to new frontier. And I did just that, embracing to new arts and craft, starting with traditional craft earlier (read more HERE), and now, paving to the Modern Craft area.
