Parks in Malaysia

Here are some notes of interesting parks in Malaysia that I would like to visit with the children.
1. Taman Tamadun Islam Terengganu
  • Bring MyKad to get Malaysian rate - Probably RM15/adult or RM35/family
  • Close on Tuesdays
  • Educational activities: some monuments provide shows. There's Hajj virtual tour in the monument of Masjidil Haram
2. Tropical Village Air Hitam Johor 
  • hosts replicas of monuments of the world
  • Admission fee RM8/adult + RM5 if driving inside the park
3. I-City Shah Alam
  • Open until 1am on weekday nights, and until 2am on weekend/holiday nights
  • Snowalk: RM25/adult and RM20/child (before 6pm), RM35/adult RM25/child (after 6pm) - fees include rental of winter outfits
  • RM5 per ride in the forest of lights (many things to ride including cable cars)
  • Enjoying the lighted plastic forest only is free (but parking charge may apply)
  • Activities may cost hundreds $$$. But the Bukit Nenas forest underneath is more inviting (also FOC). But heard that it's closed until Sep 2013.
5. Many agro parks / resorts
  • Dusun Eco, Bentong Pahang
  • Taman Pertanian Negeri, Sekayu, Terengganu
  • Peladang Agro Resort, Setiu, Terengganu
  • .. and many more..
  • Apart of educating visitors about agriculture, these parks may offer activities such as water sports, fishing, picking up vegetables/fruits, milking, jungle trekking, camping, waterfall, etc
