A Finnish-designed indoor activity park where the whole family actually plays together — trampolines, a skate and scooter area, climbing walls, ninja obstacles and a big sports zone. One ticket covers a few hours of non-stop moving, and it's right opposite the Petronas Towers. Perfect for burning off the kids' energy on a rainy KL afternoon.
