M alaysia is a great choice for a family holiday, especially if you want to combine a few days of sightseeing with theme parks, wildlife and some time on the beach. There is plenty to keep children of all ages entertained, and with so many different places to visit, you can make the holiday as busy or as relaxed as you like. Kuala Lumpur is a good starting point. The Petronas Twin Towers are always impressive, while KLCC Park gives younger children space to play. Aquaria KLCC and Petrosains Discovery Centre are also worth visiting, particularly when the weather is hot or rainy. Batu Caves is another popular stop, although be prepared for quite a climb up those colourful steps!

Theme Park Days A family favourite is Sunway Lagoon, just outside Kuala Lumpur. With its water slides, wave pools, roller coasters and adventure attractions, it is easy to spend an entire day here. There is something for younger children as well as teenagers, and it is often one of the highlights of a family trip. For LEGO fans, LEGOLAND Malaysia in Johor is another excellent option. The theme park, water park and themed hotel make it worth an overnight stay, particularly for families with primary-aged children. It is also a good addition if you are travelling between Malaysia and Singapore.

You can make the holiday as busy or as relaxed as you like.
