Blog 6 Staycation Ideas for School Break
22 Mar 2019
A good holiday usually requires at least three days away from home to really have a break, relax, and get your mind off work. That makes staycations an ideal choice for families in Malaysia. To help you plan an amazing staycation for your kids to remember, here are six ideas you could consider for each location including hotels that would be great for you and your family to stay at:
Kuala Lumpur: A Day With Furry and Feathered Friends

Start your morning at the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park where everyone in the family can encounter over 3,000 species of birds within one of the world’s largest covered bird parks. If cuddling animals sounds more exciting, head over to the KL Tower Mini Zoo and get acquainted with monkeys, little bunnies, turtles and other small creatures housed in a nice, clean space.

If your kids are familiar with the Pirates of the Caribbean series, they’re probably dreaming of sailing the seas on a real wooden ship. Make their dreams come true at the Maritime Museum & Naval Museum in Malacca! This 34-metre high ship museum doesn’t sail, but it will give you the opportunity to bring them on a historic journey of all things relating to life at sea almost a hundred years ago.

Johor Bahru is the land of amusement parks! Notable ones include Legoland, Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark, the Angry Birds Activity Park and Future Land Fun Zone - which is more than enough to keep everyone entertained for a week at least. Parents would also appreciate the variety of kid-friendly shopping malls in Johor Bahru including Danga Bay which has its own snow world theme park for children to run around the giant playground.

Sabah: Get in Touch with Nature
Sabah is home to seas teaming with marine life and we recommend diving straight into it with an island-hopping boat ride! Get to know your Malaysian wildlife and stay up to watch the fireflies dance at night with a guided trek in Kota Kinabalu. If your kids love train rides, give them an authentic steam engine experience on the North Borneo Railway which includes a Continental breakfast and tiffin lunch - a very British-Malaysian experience.

Make your hotel booking at Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa. It’s a number one family choice with its mini water park that has big and small slides at the pool and a Kids Club!

Penang is a city-island that’s rich in history, food, and nature. Bring your family for a guided eco-tour among the peaceful hilltop trees at The Habitat on Penang hill - where a percentage of your ticket sales goes to funding their research and ongoing education on nature. For lunch, head towards the heritage trail of Georgetown, which is also a good place for street food. When you’re done with the day in town, enjoy the rest of the evening in the cool breeze of Batu Ferringhi beach!
