If your kids have ever watched you drive and asked, “When can I do that?”… you might want to keep reading.
We visited VroomTown™ last weekend with our daughters, Little Miss R (six) and Baby S (one), plus my nephew (three) and niece (five).
On the way to Damansara, I told Little Miss R we were doing something that’s normally only for adults.
She thought about it for about three seconds and guessed it: she was going to drive a car.
She was absolutely right, and from that moment, the excitement was off the charts, especially because she got to do it with her cousins. All three of them, ranging from three to seven years old, got behind the wheel with a parent alongside.
This VroomTown™ Malaysia review covers everything you need to know before you go: what it is, how it works, what’s included, ticket prices, and our honest take on whether it’s worth it for families in Kuala Lumpur. Including the bits that surprised us, and not all of them in a good way.

What Is VroomTown™ Malaysia?
So what exactly is VroomTown™ Malaysia? Picture a mini town built indoors, with real streets, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, intersections, a ramp, and a car wash. Kids drove bumper-style electric cars through the whole thing, and unlike a simple loop, there’s actually somewhere to go.
Beyond the driving circuit, there’s a drive-through cafe (the Vroom Drive-Through), a gas station (Vroom Pump), a supermarket, a post office, a pet hospital, and a separate play area for younger kids. When we walked in, the kids didn’t need any convincing. When we walked in, Little Miss R was already scanning the cars and making her pick before we’d even finished signing in. She picked a pink one, naturally.
To us, It’s one of the more original indoor playgrounds in Kuala Lumpur we’ve visited, and we’ve visited a few.
Where Is This Indoor Driving City in KL?
VroomTown™ Malaysia is located on the second floor of Atria Shopping Gallery in Damansara. It’s easy to find once you’re in the mall. We drove and parking was straightforward; Atria has plenty of mall parking. My brother and his family used Grab to get there, which worked just as well for a drop-off.
How Does a Session Work?
Each session runs for one hour, on the hour. So if you book the 1 pm slot, you’re driving from 1 pm to 2 pm.
Before the kids get behind the wheel, there’s a quick briefing. VroomTown™ says it’s a 10-minute driving and road safety lesson; ours took about three minutes because everyone was way too excited to absorb anything. Staff run through how the cars work and the rules of the road, and there’s a rules board at the entrance covering everything from traffic light etiquette to what to do if you need the bathroom mid-session. (Yes, really. Rule 8.)
Because it was our first visit, an adult had to be in the car with each child. At the end of the session, each child receives their own VroomTown™ driving license, which means on your next visit, they can drive solo if they want to. Little Miss R is already asking when we can go back, largely so she can use hers.
Things to do at VroomTown™ Malaysia
The Cars and the Town
The cars are the main event, and they delivered for all three of ours. They’re low to the ground, easy enough for a three-year-old to steer, and move at a pace that feels exciting without being unsafe.
The town layout means there’s actually somewhere to go: stopping at traffic lights, navigating the Vroom Wash (our lot’s favourite part of the whole session), and pulling up to the Vroom Drive-Through, where a drink and portion of fruit are included with the ticket.
The streets, signage, and intersections are properly set up. This isn’t a bumper car ring with a coat of paint; it genuinely looks and functions like a mini town, and it’s one of the more original things we’ve done with the kids in Kuala Lumpur.
VroomTown™ also makes for a great option when you’re on a rainy day indoor activity hunt.
The Stores and Role-Play Area
At the back of the venue, there’s a whole section of shopfronts that younger kids can explore on foot. Baby S made a beeline for the pet hospital, where she proceeded to hug every single plush cat and dog she could find. She then wandered into the supermarket and discovered a plush squid, which ultimately ended up at the hospital. (We assume he needed treatment.)
The supermarket has play food, shelves to browse, a freezer section, a seafood counter, and even a checkout. Baby S was utterly absorbed by it. She didn’t want to leave, which says more about how well it’s put together than anything I could write.
The Playground
There’s also a separate play area for younger kids, with a slide, climbing structures, and a ball pit. Baby S gave it a go; she climbed up, came down the slide, and had a dig around in the ball pit. But she was far more interested in spotting her sister and cousins on the track than anything the playground had to offer. That probably tells you everything you need to know about how exciting the driving circuit is, even from the sidelines.
VroomTown™ Ticket Prices
There are two ticket types, depending on whether your child has a VroomTown™ driving license or not.
Vroom Learner Pass (first-time drivers): RM85
- 1 child + 1 parent/guardian entry
- 10-minute driving and road safety lesson
- Dedicated dual-passenger electric car
- Student registration and official VroomTown™ photo license card and lanyard
- Free surprise gift at the Vroom Drive-Through
- Exclusive birthday party discount offer
Vroom Drivers Pass (licensed drivers only): RM75
- 1 child + 1 parent/guardian entry
- Dedicated dual-passenger electric car
- Free surprise gift at the Vroom Drive-Through
The drive-through gift is included with both passes.
We paid RM85 per child on our visit as it was everyone’s first time, and we thought it was fair value for a full hour plus the license card, which the kids were genuinely thrilled about.
What to Know Before You Go
- It can get bumpy. The rules say no banging, but in practice, not everyone follows them. During our session, there were kids (and adults) who ignored the traffic rules entirely and treated it more like bumper cars.
There were collisions; nothing that caused injury, but enough to be jarring. If you or your child has back issues, or if your child is on the younger or more sensitive side, be aware that the experience may not match what’s on the tin.
- Staff don’t actively intervene on the floor. This was the one thing that genuinely fell flat for us. We tried to model good road behavior for our kids, which made it a bit disheartening when others were doing the opposite with no consequences. The concept is strongest when everyone plays along.
- Crossing the streets as a non-driving parent requires some caution. I had Baby S with me while the others drove, which meant navigating the streets on foot. The crossings are marked and the traffic lights are functional, but whether approaching cars actually stop is another matter. Keep an eye out.
- Book in advance, sessions fill up, particularly on weekends.
- Parking is easy. Atria Shopping Gallery has ample mall parking. No stress there.
Is VroomTown™ Worth It?
Yes, but with one caveat.
We’ve done a lot of indoor activities with our kids in KL, and VroomTown™ stands out because it actually gives them something purposeful to do. The Vroom Wash, the drive-through, the driving license — these details make it feel like a thought-out experience rather than just a space to burn energy. Our kids had a brilliant time, and doing it with cousins made it even better.
The caveat is this: if you’re hoping for a structured, rule-following experience, manage your expectations. The concept is at its best when everyone plays along, but you can’t control other visitors. Go in knowing it might get chaotic, and you’ll have a great time.
VroomTown™ is worth it for families looking for something different. Little Miss R is already planning her return visit, and this time she’ll be going in as a licensed driver.
