Mommy Post : Kids-friendly Places in Klang Valley

Places we went to in Klang Valley after the lockdown was lifted:

Note : Most of the places we went to are outdoor, we also opted for weekday and at the earliest time possible (right when it is opened) to avoid the crowds. Usually people start coming in around noon (11am+).

*

1. KL Bird Park ★★★★

• Ticket : RM 35 (adult, Mykad) , RM 15 (children + senior, Mykad) , below 3 is free
• Opening Hours : 9 am - 6 pm, open daily

Extra notes :

• Wear light & airy clothes, it is hot, some places are shaded, some are open under the sun
• Drink water, there is also several little cafes/shops inside.
• The place is huge, we spent almost 3 hours inside the park

You can see the clip starting from 8:30 - KL Bird Park Outing from this video. During this time, it was our first proper outing and we didn't make any dedicated video for it :

2. Farm in the City, Seri Kembangan ★★★★

• Ticket : RM 39 (adult, Mykad) , RM 32 (children + senior, Mykad) , below 90 cm is free
• Opening Hours : 10 am - 6 pm, closed every Tuesday (except on public & school holiday)

Extra notes :

• Wear light & airy clothes, it is hot but mostly shaded. 
• Drink water, there is also an indoor cafe in the farm to rest.
• You can have direct interactions with the animals so wash your hands frequently, there are a lot of sinks in the farm.
• You can buy foods for the animal/birds/fishes 
• We spent 2 hours at the farm.

So far, this is the best farm/zoo experience that we had. It is not too big and not too small, it is hot but mostly shaded, there were a lot of direct interaction (we were in the huge cages with the animals), it is near our home, it feels very interactive and personal.

3. KL Tower Mini Zoo & Blue Coral Aquarium ★★★

• Ticket Zoo : RM 45 (adult, Mykad) , RM 35 (children + senior, Mykad) , below 3 is free
• Ticket Aquarium : RM 15 (adult)
• Opening Hours : 10 am - 9 pm,  Monday - Sunday

Extra notes :

• At the zoo, wear light & airy clothes, it is hot.
• Blue Coral Aquarium is a small aquarium, it is a bit depressing and dark, indoor but no aircond. 
• Prepare yourself for the toy shop in the middle of the zoo
• Love the entrance, direct interaction indoor petting zoo, that was fun

We didn't really like it. It was hot and Sofi didn't cooperate much. There was a shop in the middle of the zoo and you know how kids react to toy shop - it was her biggest distraction and she started to throw tantrum because she wanted something. Usually toy shops are the last stop before we go out and it should be, with that exact reason. 

Well, it wasn't a good experience for us.

4. Aquaria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur ★★★

• Ticket : RM 52 (adult, Mykad) , RM 42 (children + senior, Mykad)
• Opening Hours : 10 am - 7 pm, closed every Tuesday (except on public & school holiday)

This was one of the place that we went with 'many people', even though we went on weekdays at 10 am and after the school holiday ended. We couldn't avoid the crowd, so most of the time, we walked fast and didn't enjoy as much as all the other places that we went to before. But Sofi enjoyed the experience so far, there were a lot of sharks and huge fishes and it was her first big-tunnel aquarium experience. 

Unfortunately we only spent around 40 minutes inside.

5. Kidzoona ★★★★

• Ticket : RM 14 - RM 18 (kids, weekday) , RM 22 (kids, weekend & holiday)
• Opening Hours : 10 am - 7 pm, closed every Tuesday (except on public & school holiday)

Extra notes :

• Need to bring your own socks, or buy at the entrance
• Fill in a form before entering
• Guardian can enter for free
• Maximum 3 hours per entry

We went to the IOI Putrajaya one, right after it is opened at 10 am. The place was empty, no kids except for Sofi. It was her first time so she explored the place first. The place was clean & very organized, all toys were arranged neatly, we even put them back nicely after play. I looooooved it and Sofi seems to enjoyed it too. We spent around 1.5 hours in there, oh, there is a massage chair inside as well, so I had the chance to get a short 10 mins massage when Sofi was playing.
