i-City SnoWalk would be an interesting place for a drop in for a nice cool (cold?) off from the hot humid tropical heat of Malaysia. Definitely a tourism attraction place for me to drop by one day. It would be draw for local tourist as most of us don't get a chance to visit a temperate country during winter and see snow. So this theme park would be it!
Happy Family in i-City SnoWalk enjoying some fun snow!
I remembered the Mines in Balakong had one of this Snow attractions, I wonder if it is still on or scrapped. Anyway, now that I know i-City has this snowing place, would chalk it up as one of the place to visit. Besides it is easily accessible makes it one of my quick short travel destination to head out during the weekend!
SnoWalk re-opens to a bigger crowd
Thursday April 12, 2012
THE refurbished SnoWalk at i-City, Shah Alam, opened its doors to visitors late last month and the new set-up is expected to draw in more visitors to the city of digital lights.
New ice sculptures and lights have been installed in the 50,000sq ft Arctic area to include educational and interactive elements to the icy-themed park in conjunction with the 2012 science theme.
I-Bhd, the developer of i-City, spent about RM3.5mil to do up the new SnoWalk as well as to relocate the i-Walk to where the theme park is.

i-City draws in about 90,000 visitors every week and about 70% of these visitors drop by SnoWalk. The newly refurbished park targets to draw in 500,000 students within the next six months.
On average, SnoWalk can accommodate about 500 visitors comfortably at one go. The theme park has extended its opening hours on weekdays due to overwhelming response.
The management team flew in 50 expert ice carvers from Harbin, China, specifically for the task of sculpting the ice structures.
Dinosaur exhibits will also be set up at the 10,000sq ft lobby of SnoWalk to enhance the educational experience for visitors. The structures are expected to be up in two weeks time. -- Metro
