Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms is a trendy destination for a day trip from Kuala Lumpur. Most day-trippers to Genting Highlands stop over at the farms for an hour before catching Awana Skyway Cable Car to Awana Resorts. The Strawberry and Lavender Gardens offer a pleasant retreat from the concrete jungle of Kuala Lumpur. The children can enjoy strawberry picks and learn about amazing plants and flowers grown in the region.

PLEASE NOTE THAT STRAWBERRY FARMS ARE CLOSED PERMANENTLY AS OF APRIL 2024
Most tour desks at the hotels in Kuala Lumpur offer a day tour to Genting Highlands which is one of the most popular day trip destinations near Kuala Lumpur. These tours sometimes can be expensive as the tour operators charge per person. The cost can add up for a family of 4+ or bigger groups. If you are travelling
Gohtong Jaya offers a nice stopover on the way to Genting Highlands
Another alternative is to catch a Go Genting Bus which costs a very nominal amount and offers a round trip from Genting Highlands. The bus ticket includes a lunch coupon as well as a ticket for Awana Skyway Cable Car.
The bus stop is located at the Skyway Station in Gohtong Jaya. The Strawberry Leisure Farm is located within walking distance of the Bus Stop.

Most visitors to the Strawberry Farms visit this location as a part of a day trip to Genting Highlands which includes Awana Cable Car, Genting Highlands Casinos, and Fashion Outlets in Gohtong Jaya. Most of these locations can be covered easily in a day trip.
However, if you are staying in Genting Highlands for a weekend, the locations can be easily accessed by Awana Skyway Cable Car or a taxi from First World Hotel, etc.

Make a pit stop at one of the many charming restaurants along the way for a spot of tea or a light lunch. You'll find that dining in Gohtong Jaya is not only delicious but also budget-friendly compared to the eateries in Genting Highlands Casinos.

Self-Driving to Genting Highlands
Kuala Lumpur to Genting is probably the most enjoyable road trip in Malaysia. I have driven extensively in the region and always book a car from Kuala Lumpur Airport to explore the region. Long-term car rentals are very cheap and give a very affordable and enjoyable option to plan day trips from Kuala Lumpur.
If you plan to explore other attractions in Berjaya Hills like Bukit Tinggi and Bentong, self-driving is the best option. Plenty of free parking is available at the Awana Skyway Cable Car Station at Gohtong Jaya.
Alternatively, you can park at the First World Hotel, which is paid parking.
Note: If you are planning a budget trip, Gohtong Jaya offers cheap accommodation and plenty of budget food outlets, coffee shops, and all basic amenities in one place. Staying at Genting Highlands Casinos can be quite expensive.
How much does it cost to visit Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm?
Adult entry tickets are priced at RM 15, while child tickets are RM 10. The Farms boast a stunning plantation of local flowers and lavender, known for its versatile uses in teas, medicine, and skincare products. Visitors can browse through a stall offering an array of lavender-based products at affordable prices. Additionally, the farm showcases locally harvested honey, a plentiful delicacy in the region.
Locally produced products at the Strawberry Farms
If you are travelling with children, this can be a delightful activity. Take a moment out to enjoy the serene atmosphere with multi-coloured flowers, roses, and lavender fields.
Indulge in some light snacks and refreshing hot drinks at the cafe, and don't forget to browse through the variety of souvenirs and local treats at the stalls near the park's exit.
Take your family on a fun adventure at the strawberry parks where you can handpick ripe strawberries and fill up your basket with the juicy fruits.
For just RM 8 per 100 grams, you can enjoy the excitement of harvesting fresh strawberries straight from the farm, providing a unique experience for city kids who don't often have access to such activities.
In addition to fresh strawberries, you can also find a selection of strawberry products like jams and jellies, as well as strawberry-shaped candies for a sweet treat.
Other places of interest in the area?
The Strawberry farms are located very close to the Awana Skyway Cable Car station which offers free parking if you are planning to visit the casinos. Finding a parking slot at the Genting Casinos can be a challenge. Free parking is not available anymore to the day visitors.
Therefore, one option is to park the car at the Ghotong Jaya Station and catch the cable car to visit Awana Casinos and Genting Resorts World.
