Bro, at LCCT can take aerobus direct to genting at rm 35, if book online get 10% off. Confirm 2 hrs reach genting if no jam.

Book the airasia 9.10am flight, 10.10am reach LCCT then take the 11am bus to genting. By 1pm, u on 避暑山庄 liao.

Magic show quite entertaining but not very fanciful. Whole show is only 1 hour 15 mins. Kinda short. Was there on last Saturday.

It is my first trip to Genting highland and my hubby will be driving. We are bringing our 3 yr old boy, so I have a few queries.

1) May I know how long does it takes to drive from Singapore to Genting highland?

2) I am thinking of having breakfast in JB cause we are leaving our house at 6am in the morning. Any suggestion on where we can have breakfast in JB? Preferably along the way to the highway.

3) How much will the toll fee cost in total (To genting highland & back to Singapore)?

4) I heard that from KL onward, it is easy to miss the exit to genting highland even with GPS. Is it true? How can I avoid missing the exit? Any landmark which I can look out for so that I know the exit is near?

5) How long does it take to drive from base to the highland to the peak? Is it tough to drive the winding road?

6) Are all the attractions like strawberry farm, mushroom farm, etc along the road up to the peak?

7) Any place where we can stop for lunch while driving up to the peak?

Sorry for my many questions cause when I bring my 3yr old, I would like to be more prepared. I am a worrisome mum.

Thanks.

Sincerely

Annie

1) May I know how long does it takes to drive from Singapore to Genting highland? - JB to toll - 3+- hrs with avg speed 120-130..beware got speed trap

2) I am thinking of having breakfast in JB cause we are leaving our house at 6am in the morning. Any suggestion on where we can have breakfast in JB? Preferably along the way to the highway. - can stop by A&W about 200km from JB

3) How much will the toll fee cost in total (To genting highland & back to Singapore)? woodland one way - 2.9+2.1+41.3+5 all in RM

4) I heard that from KL onward, it is easy to miss the exit to genting highland even with GPS. Is it true? How can I avoid missing the exit? Any landmark which I can look out for so that I know the exit is near? after toll turn into cheras/Kuantan highway and go straight...travel about 24KM and keep left...the signage is very big....no way you are miss

5) How long does it take to drive from base to the highland to the peak? Is it tough to drive the winding road? try stopping at gohtong jaya for a short break when going up or down.... I only driving 1.1 pica and with my family of 4...so no problem....up around 45mins but beware of sharp turning

6) Are all the attractions like strawberry farm, mushroom farm, etc along the road up to the peak? yup....strawberry farm at gohtong jaya...alternative can take cable car and catch a free shuttle bus there

7) Any place where we can stop for lunch while driving up to the peak? - Gohtong jaya... my fav BKT "Mu qing" just had mine yesterday

Sorry for my many questions cause when I bring my 3yr old, I would like to be more prepared. I am a worrisome mum.
