Playtopia World Sdn Bhd has officially launched Malaysia’s first HarborLand indoor theme park at KLGCC Mall in Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, marking a new milestone in family entertainment in the country. The grand opening ceremony took place on Saturday, showcasing a sprawling 25,000-square-foot indoor playground with a 30-foot ceiling and 44 unique attractions designed for children of all ages.
HarborLand, a popular indoor theme park brand originating from Thailand, brings a thoughtfully designed play environment aimed at promoting holistic child development. The Malaysian outlet features multiple themed zones catering to different age groups and interests. HarborTown is a role-play city designed for children aged five and above, encouraging imagination and social skills. Little Ville & Toyland offers premium toys and interactive learning activities for toddlers and preschoolers, blending play with early education. Mainplay & Kid’s Island is a large-scale adventure playground for children aged seven and older, encouraging physical activity and problem-solving skills. Additionally, an Arts & Craft corner provides a creative space for artistic expression, while a communal area, including a mini mart cafe, allows families to relax and socialize.
“The vision to bring HarborLand to Malaysia began two years ago when we discovered HarborLand Thailand’s readiness to expand internationally,” said Jane Leong, CEO of HarborLand Malaysia, during the official launch. “We visited six outlets in just one day and were impressed by the meticulous design of each playground and the joy radiating from every child. It became clear that HarborLand is more than just a play area — it’s an environment intentionally created to support children’s physical, creative, and cognitive development.”
Leong also emphasized that safety is a top priority for the Malaysian theme park. “HarborLand Malaysia has been designed to comply with EN-1176 international safety standards. All materials used are non-toxic, free from harmful metals, and built to last, ensuring a secure and safe environment for our young visitors,” she added.
Sharing the origins of the brand, HarborLand Thailand CEO Prakarn Nokhong explained that the concept began from a personal need. “I struggled to find suitable places where my children could have fun safely. That challenge inspired HarborLand, which we started 10 years ago to provide children with a clean, safe, and hygienic environment to play and learn.”
HarborLand Thailand now operates 28 indoor playground branches and one waterpark, with plans to expand to 36 playgrounds and five waterparks next year. “Our expansion reflects our commitment to creating spaces where children can grow, learn, and enjoy themselves safely,” Nokhong said.
With the launch of HarborLand Malaysia, families in Kuala Lumpur now have access to a premium indoor play experience that combines fun, learning, and safety, setting a new benchmark for child-centric entertainment in the region.
