Skytrex Adventure's High Ropes Action in Shah Alam

Julien Repellin and Azlan Idrus of Skytrex Adventure have created an unusual high elements adventure in the Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam Agricultural Park (Taman Pertanian Shah Alam) located in Shah Alam. This brand new activity revitalises the park's long forgotten attraction as the Malaysia's first agricultural park (built 1986) and quite possibly the world's largest at 1290 hectares.

New SKYDECK! Things just keep getting better here!

It's even more convenient to hold a little party at Skytrex! Watch your family, friends or children enjoy the high elements on a hardwood raised platform. A cement BBQ pit with a grill is available for use. There are 10 tables with benches (not movable), seating 8-10pax Adults. The platform is free for Skytrex guests to use however they are also available for private rental at Rm30 per table per day (if you don't rent, its first come, first serve! - includes the monkeys!) Click on the image on the left for larger size.

*Guests bring own food, cooking/eating utensils, charcoal/fuel and do own clean up.

Whats next? Maybe gourmet coffee and baguettes! We'll badger Julien & Azlan on this

3 Courses

These courses will have you standing, climbing, walking, swinging and zipping as high as 22meters off the ground! A good point to note is that there are several exit points should you find the challenges too much to handle or if there's an emergency and you need to get out.

BIG THRILL Duration to complete 1.5 to 2 hours
Booking Time slots: 0830 - 1000 - 1130 - 1300 - 1430
Requirements: At least 1.4 meters. Maximum weight 100kg.
There are 23 challenges with names like 'Bermuda Triangle', 'Happy Hopper', 'Wobble Trouble' and 'Wild Revenge' which you may find humourous, that is, until you stand before them. I kid you not, the trail will sure to serve you that fear factor

Requirements: 16years above. Physically fit with good upper body strength. At least 1.5 meters. Maximum weight 80kg. * If you have never tried Skytrex, we suggest you take up the Big Thrill.

LITTLE ADVENTURE Duration to complete 30-40mins
Booking Time slots: 0830 (9am - 11am), 1030 (11am-1pm) and 1230 (1pm - 3pm). Half an hour allocated for 'gearing up'. Participants have unlimited rounds within 2 hours
Requirements: At least 1.1 meters. Maximum weight 100kg. Participants age below 18 years require indemnity forms signed by a parent/guardian. Children below 12 years will require parent/guardian present and have the indemnity forms completed for them.

The childrens' course is lower to the ground. The highest platform will be about 10 feet. The young ones will develop hand and eye coordination as well, body balance on the trail. Being in an agricultural park, the sights and sounds is a humongous classroom for them, feeding their inquisitive minds on nature's diversity. All this is provided in a safe environment with a trainer/guide keeping a close eye but not too close, allowing the child to explore his or her own abilities. Parents or Guardians can even follow them! (free on the ground) There are 15 Challenges.
