There are 2 types of activities here, namely wakesurfing and wakeboarding, so what is the difference? You may ask. The biggest difference would be with and without holding onto a rope but of course, there are other differences too, such as the type of boards used, speed, difficulty and techniques. With a skilled and patient instructor, this will be an amazing place for beginners to start 🌊wakesporting!

📍 Jalan Dulang, Mines Wellness City, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor

Get up close and interact with animals like alpacas, rabbits, guinea pigs and many more. You also do not want to miss out on getting a closer look at exotic animals like fennec foxes, falabella horses, marmosets and others. Besides animals, there are also vegetable and fruit farms that you can visit. With so many attractions here, you can easily end up spending a whole day here.

Well, who doesn’t know Sunway Lagoon! This is one of the best theme parks to bring your family! Ever since their reopening on the 7th of October, 3 new attractions have been brought in!

Visit some cute 🐦birbs at Malaysia’s largest bird paradise. With more than 3000 birds from 20 species, 90% of the furry winged friends here are from Malaysia, whereas 10% of them are imported from countries like Australia, China, Holland, New Guinea and others.

This bird park is a good place for both adults and kids to learn more about birds that we don’t hear much about often, like the scarlet ibis, asian fairy bluebird, purple swamphen etc. Be prepared to spend up to half of a day in this large enclosure.

📍 KL Bird Park, 920, Jalan Cenderawasih, Perdana Botanical Gardens, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

One of the largest butterfly parks in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park has over 5,000 butterflies, exotic plants, butterfly-host plants and ferns. If you think that all you can see are butterflies, then you are wrong. There are also other attractions such as Japanese koi fish, freshwater turtles and insects from around the world.

📍 Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park, Jalan Cenderasari, Taman Botani Perdana, Kuala Lumpur, 50480 Malaysia

Bukit Broga is one of the most famous hiking spots in KL. It’s only 400 metres high and you can easily hike it in an hour but its steepness makes it quite a challenge to hike. Many people choose to hike in the early hours to catch the beautiful view of 🌄sunrise on top of the hill, in the middle of the city.

📍 Bukit Broga, 43500 Semenyih, Selangor

Just a 35-minute 🚗drive away from Kuala Lumpur is the Wet World Water Park in Shah Alam. This water park is a great place to relax and have fun for the whole family. If you are worried about the hot scorching sun, there are lots of shades and trees!

This place is suitable for small kids aged around 3-7 because the slides aren’t very challenging and are pretty much kids-friendly, plus the water level isn’t very high either.

📍 No. 3A, Persiaran Dato Menteri, Seksyen 14, 40000 Shah Alam, Selangor

If you like Paragliding, you don’t have to go far. There is one here right at Bukit Jugra, Banting. When the weather is good, you get to see the Strait of Malacca from here. This is a tandem activity, so there is no prior experience needed and no age requirements too!

Glide over the historic part of the Klang Valley as you salvage the beautiful views of the greenery and river. All you have to do is sit comfortably in the harness while your instructor navigates the way.

📍 Bukit Jugra, Jugra, Banting, Selangor, Malaysia

If you are a nature enthusiast and extreme sports lover, then this activity is for you. Get ready as you drive your ATV in a jungle, down the terrains of mud. There will be guides to guide you throughout the adventure, so you don’t have to worry about not having any prior experience with this. There are also chalets and homestays if you choose to spend a night here. This is a good weekend getaway from the buzz of the city.

📍 Rimba Kemensah, 19, Jalan Taman Zooview, Kampung Kemensah, 68000 Ampang Jaya, Selangor
