Skytrex Adventure, Taman Botani Negara

National Botanical Park Shah Alam

Skytrex High Ropes Bukit Cahaya Agricultural Park: Flying Fox over the 'Moat'!!

Skytrex Adventure is an unusual high elements jungle canopy adventure in the Shah Alam National Botanical Park  (Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam) located in Shah Alam a few years ago. The zipline challenges activity have revitalised 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. The park's name has changed several times along with several revitalisation plans throughout the years. It had once been known as Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam Agricultural Park and at another point Bukit Cerakah Agriculture Park.

Skytrex has 3 Courses
These courses will test your balancing skills as well as your strength and mental confidence. The unique challenges found along the 3 courses will have you standing, climbing, walking, swinging and zipping as high as 22meters off the ground! There are several exit points should you find the challenges too much to handle or if there's an emergency requiring your immediate evacuation.

The Skytrex adventure for little tots and those elders who want a sampling of the zipline fun!
The childrens' course is lower to the ground. The highest platform will be about 10 feet above ground. 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 the children, feeding their inquisitive minds with nature's bio-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 for free from the ground. There are 15 Challenges.
Is Skytrex open 7 days a week?
Skytrex operates on weekends (Saturday, Sunday) and Public Holidays only. Operation time is between 0830 and 1700hours.

Do I need to pre-book or can I just walk-in?
