MyTown Shopping Center – A Great Shopping Mall for Kids

Have you been to MyTown Shopping Center? It is located right next to Ikea Cheras (It’s actually connected to Ikea).

There are hundreds of shopping centers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor and I have been to some of them (not all yet 😅) but what I can share is, MyTown is one of the most kids friendly mall we’ve been to.

Why did I say kids friendly?

Because at almost every floor, there will be a mini playground for kids. So they won’t get bored!

Here is an example of a playground available in the mall. They have a few similar playgrounds available, so you can take a break and rest at every floor while your kids play.

This one is located right in front of Toys R Us. They have another one with bigger structure and higher slide on the ground floor, right in front of Ikea entrance, but unfortunately I totally forgot to take a picture. The first time we went to MyTown, my kids spent almost an hour playing with the slides.

They also have a Molly Fantasy and an indoor park (I don’t remember the name, but it is not Kidzoona. I think Wau wau park maybe?) at a really reasonable price. RM10 for 30 minutes and RM20 for 2 hours of entertainment. Your kids are gonna love it.

They put some nicely designed “treehouse” with balls pool. There is also an area that they design to imitate outdoor playground.

They also provide some costumes for kids who like to play pretend (look at the picture above). Although at the time I take this picture, not much can be seen as few kids already wear those costumes merrily!

This is my daugther, Ameena, posing as a pirate of the day!

Have not yet been to MyTown? Try it out. You will not be dissappointed. =)

Taman Tasik Cempaka, Bandar Baru Bangi

Taman Tasik Cempaka is the main outdoor recreational center in Bandar Baru Bangi. Usually there are many people including grandpas, parents and kids exercising, jogging and play at the playgrounds available at Taman Tasik Cempaka.

The above picture shows one of the large play structure available at one of the playgrounds at Taman Tasik Cempaka, Bandar Baru Bangi.

If you like, you can also rent bicycles and electric cars and motors for your entertainment. The price range is usually between RM10-20 for 20-30 minutes. There are many vendors to choose from. Your kids will be very happy.

Or you can also jog around the lake which many of the people love to do as well to get good exercises needed.

On Saturdays and Sundays morning, there are also carboot sale in which you can shop for various items. Sometimes you might even find a gem or two! Last time I scored beautiful blazers and jackets for just RM2.50 a piece. Absolute gems!

Besides getting good exercises and outdoor family time, it’s gentle on your pocket as there are lots of activities you can do without having to fork out money. Love it!

Semenyih Ecohill Playground

If you are looking for a new playground with different sets of play structures for your explorer kids, you can go ahead to Semenyih Ecohill Outdoor Playground.

It is quite new, well-maintained and complete with different and creative play structures when compared to normal playgrounds.

This is tons of fun. They can climb and slide all day long.

This one is for the younger kids.

Looks fun, right?

I brought my kids there the weekend before Ramadhan this year and they enjoyed their playtime for few hours and did not want to go home!

Hours of play and exercises is good for the kids. Mamas and Papas can do a little jogging around the playground while watching the kids.

Moreover, it’s free!

They’ll love climbing this.

It’s located just about 5 minutes away from Tesco Semenyih. Just drive through the Semenyih Ecohill neighborhood road and you will see this playground on your left (if you are coming from the Tesco Semenyih direction).

Your kids will be very happy and have plenty of exercises here.

And here is Adam, enjoying his drink before going off to play – again. When we were there, there were a few stalls (or more accurately, carboot style stalls) opened that sells drinks should you and your kids become thirsty.

If you’re living somewhere near to Semenyih, I suggest you checkout the playground. Your kids will love it while being kind to your pocket! 😊

An evening at Kidzoona IOI City Mall, Putrajaya

Today I brought my 3 kids to Kidzoona at IOI City Mall Putrajaya for them to enjoy indoor playground. It’s been a while since we last visited an indoor playground – so I decided to bring them so they can release their energy.

Alhamdulillah since they all have grown up a bit (Adam is 7, Meena is 6 and Azmi is 5), it’s easier to manage them when going out on my own since Afiq is working today. Previously it was a nightmare if I have to manage all three of them alone at a shopping mall 😅.

Kidzoona is located in Molly Fantasy, near to the ice skating rink at IOI City Mall. Entry feea is RM18/pax for unlimited playtime during weekends and public holidays.

Kidzoona has various types of games and toys such as bouncing castle, magnetic sand and more. Suitable for younger kids but might be a little boring for kids that are more than 8 years old.

At Kidzoona the kids can also play pretend as shopowners and doctors. I remember I used to play pretend at home with diy stuff 😅

What I like about indoor playground is that I can have a rest while they play as much as they want. I don’t have to worry about them running off somewhere like during playing at outdoor playground. And hopefully once they have played their hearts out, they will sleep earlier at night (haha).

My kids love Kidzoona and the price is quite reasonable when compared to other indoor playground. It’s been 3 hours now and they still don’t want to leave yet. Haha.
