Looking for an exciting way to celebrate the holidays with your loved ones? Check out Immersive Winterland, a new attraction at i-City in Shah Alam, Selangor.
The edutainment centre is said to offer visitors a first-of-its-kind immersive experience, through the use of innovative multi- sensorial technology. There are several sections with different themes here, such as the Immersive Ski Simulator, the 360° Immersive Explorer, Exploration Cave and Blossom Odyssey.
Folks who wish to experience “winter” in tropical Malaysia can check out the Skii Scape and Snowballing sections.
At Blossom Odyssey, there are digital projections of flora and fauna which respond to touch, while at the Cave Exploration space, visitors can “see” and “hear” the sounds of ... prehistoric animals!
At the recent launch of Immersive Winterland, I-Berhad chairman Tan Sri Lim Kim Kong said that the centre “... marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of interactive edutainment. It’s not just about entertainment, it’s about crafting a dynamic, immersive learning environment that sparks imagination and fosters engagement.”

Five-in-one
The InterContinental KL is taking guests on a wonderful gastronomic journey. With the theme “An InterContinental Christmas Around The World”, the hotel is offering different culinary experiences at five of its spaces.
Get “transported” to Japan at Tatsu, and to China at Tao, while those who prefer to explore more of Malaysia can make their way to the Serena Brasserie.
Savour a typical English Christmas at Bentley’s Pub, and check out “Santa’s Workshop” at the OneSixFive Lounge.
Each of these outlets is currently running a special dining promotion, so head to the hotel’s social media pages (@intercontinental.kualalumpur on Facebook and Instagram), or log on to kualalumpur.intercontinental.com for details.
Additionally, the hotel has teamed up with HiiChiiKok Foundation, a Klang Valley orphanage, for the “Wishes Do Come True” toy drive for underprivileged children. Wishes have been handwritten by the children and placed as ornaments on the hotel’s Christmas tree.
Guests and visitors are welcome to pick up one of these ornaments, and make a child’s wish come true.
InterContinental KL is currently accepting new and unused toys too, as well as pre-loved children’s books from guests, which will then be distributed to charitable organisations and homes.
