3 PLACE THATS YOU GOT TO GO IN ONE UTAMA!!!

Station Bandar Utama is the 23rd station from Kajang - Sungai Buloh MRT line. It took me about an hours from Station Kajang to Station Bandar Utama. Station Bandar Utama is the station which can take you to the massive shopping mall called "One Utama". One Utama slogan is "It's all in one", why? because it almost contain any thing you can think of, mainly entertaiment, eg: Wave Surfing, movies, foods, skydive, babysize swimming pool, hotel, garden, buffet and many many more!!

After the station check point.

 As you reach the station and walk out of the check point, you'll be greed with a sign pointing to One Utama and various attraction.

Another sign

Tunnel from the MRT

On the way to the mall, you can see a wall of tea leaf container within glass wall.

(Great place to take picture for you Instagram-ers!)

When the tunnel ends, this is where most people get lost because there is no sign indicate where you should go. 

There is a glass door next to the Chinese Restaurant which lead you to the mall through "One World Hotel"

Chinese New Year decoration

Interior of the hotel

After entering the hotel, walk straight from where you enter and go through another hall wall and you'll reach the exit of  One World Hotel and enter One Utama.

Right after the exit is tailor

I was wondering if people will get lost on the way to the station as the route is kinda confusing.

One Utama is a great mall to kill your afternoon because its a massive mall, the sole walking around and explore without entering any shops can kill your entire afternoon easily. The mall is different then other mall I seen before because if its unique shops that it have. I am going to show you what I found interesting.

1. Air Rider

(2nd floor, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Lot SS601)

The air rider is for All Ages! (almost) You can't be an infant to play it. Basically it allow you to experience how it is to feel to be free falling from miles in the sky.

 It can be kinda expensive but its totally worth it once in your life! You got to feel the free falling without the fear of malfunction parachute ! wow! It cost RM89 for a person, it only last for 90seconds. Its cheaper if you come in group of 5 as it cost RM64.90. Quick and worthy way to burn your money within 2 minutes.

Some kids is experiencing free fall. (with instructor)

 2. Flow Rider

 If there is Air Rider, there have to be "Flow" rider.

This is a great way for people to learn surfing in an artificial controled environment.

(LG floor, 1 Utama Shopping Centre)

 It looks amazing for me as I never actually see this before! I was amazed and stayed and watch for an hour.

Some Safety instruction.

We only realize this when we look down from the Air Rider's window

Here are the price for all occasion.

Drinks!

Small kids pool for kids to mess around

I wasn't sure if they are allow until I see this sign on the wall.

 3. Kaison

(LOT S335A, LEVEL 2 , ONE UTAMA Shopping Centre (New Wing))

Kaison is a great place for people who cannot decide what present to buy for their love ones as they have tons of affortable stuff, eg: Birthday Party accesories, presents, flowers, stationary, wrappers, cute stufffffff ...
