Not only is there an 8-metre rock climbing wall in the mall, but once you reach the top – there is also a Sky Trail obstacle course hanging off the ceiling! Perfect for all the adrenaline junkies, the Sky Trail hangs 13 metres above ground, and involves zip-lining, climbing up cargo nets, swinging on a rope, walking on wobbly platforms, and more.

5. Catch a 4DX film
Upgrade your regular movie experience and choose a 4DX film instead!
