The night’s celebration went beyond merely turning lights off for a memorable night of entertainment and togetherness.
Sean Choo, General Manager of Sunway Lagoon commented, “Earth Hour is not just about conserving energy but to disconnect from gadgets and reconnect with people. We have our local artists on board to this event for an extra special night, aside from the fun and interactive activities to get public outdoors with their family and friends.”
As starters, the blackout event kicked off o a high note with life-sized board games of 4-D Twister and Giant Jenga, water activities such as the FlowRider and inflatables games namely the “Dome Bouncy House” and “Gladiator Challenge”.

Besides that, guests can also expect to savour Malaysians favourites such as “char keoy teow”, “roti canai”, “roti john”, fresh coconut water, “teh tarik”, and more.
