Have fun on a budget 😎
How many times have you heard someone say “let’s go out and do something fun”, only for the conversation to go nowhere? It could be because you can’t think of anything to do or anywhere to go, or it could simply be due to the rising costs of, well, everything. What if we told you that planning a family excursion on a budget is possible? Here are some of our favourites:
The prices in this list represent the entrance fees for 2 adults and 2 children.

1. Batik Painting at Jadi Batek
Sure, you’ve worn batik, but have you made batik before? The creation of an original piece may take a while; first you’ll have to come up with a design, then draw or stamp the motif on with wax, and only then can you move on to dyeing the fabric.
Skip the hassle and take the fast track with this Batik Colouring Workshop where you and your family get to paint your own batik! Play artisan for a day; choose from their wide selection of premade designs and stain the canvas with vibrant dyes to create your own masterpiece.
- Price: RM38 (Canvas colouring)
- Total: RM152 (4 pax)
2. MinNature Malaysia
At MinNature Malaysia, the entire city can fit in the palm of your hands. Your walk through the museum begins with displays of itty bitty hawker stalls ‘selling’ local delights. Visitors will then walk into room after room of miniature sculptures highlighting Malaysia’s architecture and culture.
Other than the fun facts scattered around the museum, MinNature keeps guests vigilant with their scavenger hunt. Your mission (apart from admiring the craftsmanship that goes into creating these detailed miniatures) is to look for special characters, like the Hulk, hidden amongst the realistic landscapes.
- Price: RM27 (Adult), RM22.50 (Child, 6-18 years)
- Total: RM99 (4 pax)
3. Utama Farm
Another unique spot you can go to with your loved ones is Utama Farm! Utama Farm isn't your usually city farm - in just one place, you can take part in activities like fishing and baseball batting. The fun doesn't stop there, as you can even pick fresh leafy greens to bring home! There's even a petting zoo for the animal lovers in your family.
One of their most unique activities is prawning. Similar to regular fishing, prawning requires a rod, bait, and a whole lot of patience. However, unlike traditional fishing, you won’t be sitting at the side of a lake under the hot sun, hoping for a fish to swim by. Instead, you get to chill in a shaded area and catch prawns from a pond that’s full of them.
- Petting zoo: From RM14.25 per pax
- Tiger prawn fishing: From RM36.10 per pax
- Freshwater big head prawn fishing: From RM42.75 per pax
- Fishing: From RM31.35 per pax
- Baseball batting cage: From RM9.50 per pax
4. Roller Light
Fun music, fluorescent lights, laughs, and the rush of moving with great speed— that’s what you get from a day at Roller Light. If you’ve been wanting to introduce your kids (and maybe yourself) to a thrilling new activity, consider roller skating! Not only will roller skating teach you balance, it’ll also elevate your confidence, especially after you get the hang of it.
This skating spot allows children as young as 4 years old to participate, and you can even rent skating aids to ease them into this challenging sport. Parents, if you’re not in the mood to skate for 2 hours straight, don’t worry. Guests who aren’t planning on skating can enter for RM8.
- Price: RM29.05 (With skate shoe rental)
- Total: RM116.20 (4 pax)
5. Farm in the City
We believe that Farm in the City is one of the best places see animals and also interact with them. The animals at this farm are extremely friendly, and not to mention, simply adorable! You can pet and play with the likes of birds, guinea pigs, giant tortoises, racoons, and many more.
The farm sells animal food too, so you can use that to beckon some fluffy friends to come closer. If you or your kids have any questions regarding the animals, there are staff members all around the park who’ll gladly help, making a trip to Farm in the City both fun and educational. As always, do make sure that you’re being gentle with the animals so as to not harm or scare them.

With attractions like Super Hurricane and Kiddy Typoon Lagoon, there’s definitely something for everyone.

8. Aquaria KLCC
The ocean is a mysterious place. Did you know that we’ve only explored 5% of it? Well, Aquaria KLCC is home to over 150 species of aquatic life, so just imagine what else is out there. That being said, Aquaria is a great place to introduce your little ones to the ocean’s diverse ecosystem, and who knows, maybe your kid will feel inspired to be the next discoverer of a new species.
The attraction’s underwater tunnel will make you feel like you’re swimming along with the fish. Here, you can watch these graceful creatures go about their lives and see how they interact with one another. Aquaria KLCC isn’t just about observing, it’s also about experiencing; there’s a dedicated area for visitors to touch sea cucumbers and starfish!

10. KL Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Bus
The longer you’ve lived in the same place, the more likely it is that you’ve found your go-to places. For those of you who want to try new things, we suggest checking out the KL Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Bus. It can be quite fun to play tourist in your own city— you get to introduce your children to KL’s most popular attractions while also reintroducing these places to yourself! Think about it, when was the last time you paid a visit to Central Market?
The bus route comprises 26 destinations including KLCC, Sultan Abdul Samad Building, and Chinatown. There’s a 30 to 40 minute interval between each bus, which means that you get to determine which stops you want to go to, and how long you want to be there.
- Price: RM30 (Adult), RM20 (Child, 5-12 years)
- Total: RM100 (4 pax)
11. Zoo Negara
At the end of the day, nothing beats a classic trip to the zoo. Zoo Negara has been a top destination for Malaysian families and tourists alike for over 60 years now. The national zoo is home to over 450 species of animals including reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, and amphibians. Zoo Negara is also where TikTok celebrity Oyen resides with his capybara friends.
You won’t just be walking around and looking at animals, either. Zoo Negara has a couple of exciting shows that take place daily: the Multi-Animal Show featuring clever sea lions and macaws, as well as the Animal Feeding Sessions.
