Have you visited the newest shopping mall in Johor Bahru? We popped by Paradigm Mall, which is just a 20-minute drive away from Singapore, and came back with utterly sore legs. And to think we didn't even had time to try out the ice skating rink!
Billed as the largest mall in JB - and even bigger than Singapore's VivoCity (!) - Paradigm Mall is seven floors of shopping, eating and playing heaven. In fact, not only does it boasts the first ice skating rink in the city, it is also bigger than the one at Sunway Pyramid at 20,000 sq ft. The mall is also home to the largest cinema in Johor and a 12,000 sq ft indoor climbing gym.
But what made me promise the monkies to return to the mall soon was the ice skating rink.
Primarily because of the price.
Weekdays cost RM25 while weekends are priced at RM30 per entry. YES, PER ENTRY which means you can skate ALL YOU WANT for one entire day at only S$8.30 on weekedays or $10 on weekends! Super worth it man. You can bring your own socks and gloves so that you do not have to buy them.
The ice skating rink opens from 10am to 10pm daily and is located on Level 3 - it is actually on the 5th level of the mall because the mall's levels start from G, then UG, followed by Level 1 and so on.
If the kids demand more action, head to the Climb5 climbing gym located on the 7th floor of the mall.
The indoor rick-climbing gym offers a wide variety of climb walls, from novice to intermediate to expert.
The Novice Wall is a 9.5m top-rope wall fitted with SlowGo ground-anchored belay system perfect for new and novice climbers.
The Toprope Wall consists of slab and aretes which make this ideal terrain for easy grades and technical routes for advanced climbers.
More advanced climbers can head to the Autowall (above) and Mixed Wall (below) which offer more climbing challenges.
Prices for a one-day visit pass is RM36 for Adults, RM25 for Youths (13-17) and RM 16 for children (8-12). Kids below 8 years old enter FREE. And yes, the pass is valid for ONE ENTIRE DAY!
Got younger kids? Then head to the Milkyway Playspace indoor playground on the 6th level of the mall.
I didn't enter the playground but it looks pretty decent from the outside with the usual slides and play structures. Best of all, the entry price is pretty wallet-friendly - RM80 (S$27) for 5 entries!
Did I mention there are plenty of shops like Uniqlo, H&M, Toys 'R' Us and Popular too? Looks like families will be able to spend an entire day at the mall!
