LOOKING for a touch of winter magic in Penang? Visit Antarctic Snow World at Straits Quay, where you can step into a snowy paradise featuring stunning snow sculptures, exhilarating ice slides, and freezing temperatures.
Launching the indoor snow park today, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow highlighted its significance in diversifying Penang’s tourism offerings.
He noted that the park complements the state’s reputation not just as a hub for food and culture but also as a destination for family-friendly attractions.
“Attractions like Antarctic Snow World keep Penang competitive by drawing visitors from near and far.
“On behalf of the state government, I thank the visionary entrepreneurs and investors who continue to believe in Penang’s potential,” Chow said.
Located in a prime area, the park could stimulate new business opportunities, further enhancing the state’s economy, Chow expressed hope.
Antarctic Snow World is the brainchild of Angel Amusement Park Sdn Bhd, led by shareholder and director Leonard Leong, who shared impressive details about the park’s development.
“We used 2,700 blocks of ice, each weighing 112kg, to recreate the snowy experience of Northern Europe.
“To enhance the experience, we have incorporated the latest snow-making technology. The snow is made from pure water, free of chemicals, making it safe for families,” Leong said.
The park can accommodate up to 300 visitors at a time, providing a unique recreational experience for both locals and tourists.
Leong added: “We are committed to developing more family entertainment outlets in Penang and across northern Malaysia.”
After the launch, Chow, dignitaries, and members of the media toured the snow park, marveling at its immersive winter environment.
Among those present at the ceremony were E&O board director Datuk Seri Tee Eng Ho and Lau Keng Ee, the political secretary to the Chief Minister.
