    This is a must-visit place every October because it's my child's birthday. The hotel environment is the same as before, full of themes and fun, a bit old, and the toys are a bit dirty. The service was good this time, and I prepared a surprise for my child. We must give it a good review. There are 3 parks across the street, and the theme park is still the first choice, followed by the water park.

    Had an amazing day exploring Johor Zoo! A hidden gem in the heart of Johor Bahru — perfect for families, animal lovers, or anyone looking for a fun, budget-friendly outing. The animals were lively, the environment was clean, and the staff were super friendly. Loved seeing the majestic tigers, playful monkeys, and colorful birds up close. It’s not the biggest zoo, but it definitely has heart.Great place to reconnect with nature and create memories.Highly recommend checking it out if you’re near.

    Had a fun time at Adventure Waterpark! We bought the tickets online as it was cheaper but we still had to queue at the online counter to get the wristband, but not a long waiting time. Lockers were convenient and also the staff there were friendly! We can rent the lockers for the whole day at a single price (able to re-open the lockers for an unlimited time). Crowd was not too bad, the lifeguards and staff on duty were helpful. Enjoyed the lazy river however the floats were very limited, we had to wait to get one. Food was also a bit pricey but there was delicious waffles that we were glad to have (11rm for a piece). Note that some rides would require you to remove loose articles and handphones with straps. Overall would recommend!

    Last year, I was visted Johor Ancient Temple, located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It is dedicated to five deities worshipped by different Chinese dialect groups, symbolizing unity. The temple’s red-and-white architecture stands out amid modern skyscrapers, offering a glimpse into the city’s heritage.In my opinion, its peaceful atmosphere, intricate carvings, and annual Chingay Parade. However, some find it small and crowded during festivals.Overall, it’s a must-visit for history and cultur

    One of the standout features is the cleanliness and organization of the park. The staff members are attentive and ensure that safety protocols are strictly followed, which made us feel comfortable throughout the visit. The park is well-maintained, and the facilities are top-notch.

    The island is so picturesque with its stunning beach, lush jungle and clear waters – it’s worth taking the time to hike up to the hilltop view to witness the amazing views over the South China Sea. Since the island is tiny, you can get everywhere on foot and really two nights is more than enough time to explore it all. Our kids had great fun zipping down the big orange slide and the smaller blue one, splashing into the sea and playing on the beach.

    legoland sealife is a great experience especially if you have kids with you. They have lots of different sea life marine species and have loads of hands on experience for everyone.The sealife park is together with the legoland park, like a all in one fun. Also, if you think 1 day isn't enough? Book a hotel at legoland and spend the weekend there too!
