A few months ago, I visited i-City, which located in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. i-City is one of the best leisure parks in Malaysia I have ever been. It has a very interesting concept: a huge theme park that offers several attractions like Snowalk (biggest snow theme park in Malaysia), Trick Art Museum, Red Carpet, Water World, Ice Adventure, House of Horror, Under the Sea, and a few more to mention.
To reach i-City, you may take KTM (one of the rail operator in Malaysia) to ‘Padang Jawa’ station and take a taxi straight to i-City. If you are coming from Kuala Lumpur, you may take Rapid KL Bus U80 to ‘Shah Alam Bus Station’, and change to Rapid KL Bus U605 from ‘Shah Alam Bus Station’ to i-City.

I spent half day there and it’s clearly not enough time to visit all the theme parks. I was too busy taking pictures with every single painting in Trick Art Museum and Red Carpet.
Entrance fee to Trick Art Museum is only RM 10 per person, which in my opinion, really worth it. Trick Art Museum, as the name implies, is a museum to show optical illusion art that turns two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional images. To get better idea, let’s take a look at some of my pictures below:

Next, still located in the same theme park, I visited Red Carpet, which is the first wax museum in Malaysia. The Red Carpet exhibits a collection of wax sculptures representing famous people from history and contemporary personalities exhibited in lifelike poses and wearing real clothes. You are allowed to touch them too! The entrance fee is a bit expensive, RM 35 for Malaysian, and RM 100 for non-Malaysian.

And many more famous people that I don’t post it here.
For those who plan to go to Snowalk, it is advisable to wear a trouser or a long pants and bring your own socks and gloves. Of course, there is a mini shop selling those, but it would be much cheaper to bring your own. You don’t have to bring your own jacket as you can rent it for free (actually it is included in entrance fee). They say it’s around 5 degree Celsius inside and the more you go in, the colder it will be.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know that they have Snowalk. I was wearing short pants and wasn’t prepared for that. Lesson learned. I should have done some research!
Ah never mind, next time I might come again!
