5 best places to go during the school holidays

December 07, 2015

Whether it’s the lovely outdoors, or something with a little more air-conditioning comfort, holidays don’t need to be stressful if you have a list of things to do, and places to see. – December 7, 2015. We’ve less than a month before the school term for 2016 begins. Here are five fun places to bring the kids if you’re living in the Klang Valley.

1. Check out a magic show at Resorts World Genting

Resorts World Genting is never short of entertainment and programmes for the young ones, especially during holiday season. Make a weekend trip up to the mountain-top resort for Ed Alonzo’s Psycho Circus of Magic and Mayhem, a family-friendly magic show that is bound to enthral the young and old alike.

Imagine a delicious, chocolatey drink that is packed with goodness. – December 7, 2015.For the car ride, you don’t want to be packing too much food in case the winding roads cause a mess, so we recommend bringing along MILO® UHT packet drinks that are convenient, fuss-free and bound to keep you and your young ones satisfied until you reach your destination.

2. Feed animals at Farm in the City

Who doesn’t love animals, especially when they’re fluffy, cute rabbits! You’ll get lots of bunnies, and many other animals, at Farm in the City , a relatively small but well-run petting zoo located in Seri Kembangan. Your kids will have hours of fun feeding the animals, which include giant land tortoises, birds, chickens, deer, goats and of course, rabbits. There’s even a pony ride station.

Even though there’s a small snack station inside, we encourage you to bring along healthy snacks and MILO® UHT packet drinks so you and your kids can continue to enjoy the animals while having delicious and energy-boosting snacks on-the-go.

3. Sleep with sharks at Aquaria KLCC

If a trip to the beach has stoked your child’s love for sea animals, then sign them up for Aquaria KLCC’s Sleep with Sharks, a programme specially crafted for kids aged 6 to 13. This is essentially a sleepover with one of the ocean’s most majestic creatures as your slumber mate!

Be sure to pack warm clothes and the all-important midnight snack into your child’s bag for the night. With a MILO® UHT pack, he or she will be able to enjoy the familiar flavours of home while on this deep-sea adventure.

4. Enrol for traditional dance classes

Do something a little different, while educating your child on Malaysia’s dance heritage. – December 7, 2015.Do something a little different this holiday by signing your kid (and yourself!) up for traditional dance classes. You don’t need to have fancy footwork or any prior experience in dancing; all you and your child needs is a healthy curiosity for traditional Malaysian dance forms and of course, lots and lots of energy. For the latter, we highly recommend a cup of MILO® right before classes to power up that body for a dancing good time!

You can find out about the interesting holiday programme classes available at Tunas Tari, a newly-opened dance school with several branches around the Klang Valley.

5. Take a short drive to Morib Beach

Morib is a great place for taking a stroll, flying a kite in the strong breeze and for building sandcastles! – December 7, 2015.Morib Beach in Selangor is just a short drive away for most of us living in the Klang Valley, and though most of the beaches here are not ideal for swimming because of the shallow waters, it’s a lovely place if you and the kids want to enjoy the sea breeze or some wide open and windy beaches perfect for flying kites.

While there are food stalls along the beach, we recommend packing a picnic from home so you get healthy, energy-boosting and delicious food. There’s really nothing more convenient than MILO® packs for a picnic, or if you like it hot, pack a hot tumbler filled to the brim with rich, chocolatey MILO®. Either way, it’s the perfect accompaniment to any meal. – December 7, 2015.
