Spanning more than 6,500m2, District 21 is the largest indoor adventure park in Malaysia. It is fully air-conditioned and located within IOI City Mall in Putrajaya.
Concept The year is 2066. The world has been almost destroyed by war. The décor is rust coloured and props are made up of old tyres and oil drums to symbolise the after effects of war. District 21 is the boot camp of the future where teams go through obstacles that has them climbing, jumping, riding and sliding.
MICE application Teambuilding activities usually take three to four hours, revealed the park’s manager Kent Siew, and is suitable for group sizes from 20 to 120. The team is divided into groups, where each group has a maximum of 15 people. There is a briefing session followed by 10 minutes of warm up-exercises, before starting on the activities.
Activities include free falling from a 9.1m-high platform; having a go on the roller glider which is a hybrid of a zip-line and coaster; as well as an interactive climbing area – where many of the walls require problem solving as part of the climbing challenge.
There are also eight meeting rooms spread over two floors. Planners can book these rooms to hold private events or for participants to have their lunch break. Food from the F&B retailers within the mall can be delivered to District 21.
The entire place can be booked at a rate of RM8,000 (US$1,802) an hour. Group packages costs RM53 and RM58 per pax on weekdays and weekends respectively. Moreover, having an indoor event in an air-conditioned setting means organisers do not have to worry about bad weather.
Service I was lucky because on the day I went, a corporate company was holding their teambuilding activity. The participants were happy with the guidance and encouragement shown by the trainers when the going got tough. They also appreciated that safety was always a top priority.
I also noticed that all participants were given gloves and socks to use, as some activities required them to remove their shoes.
Operation hours: 12.00 to 20.00
