Taman Eko Rimba KL is located near the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The park is home to flora and fauna unique to Malaysia’s tropical rainforest. The best part is it is free and suited for family outdoor activities where you can camp and hike. Kids can explore and increase their knowledge about the real world.
Your child will be inspired to learn more about the world around them, from trees to flowers. This activity can also help release stress while creating beautiful memories together.

Taman Tugu is a public park and conservation site that is free of charge. A fascinating activity you can do with your kids here is to join their Nature Educational Program (NEP). It is a 2-hour session where you and your kids create a moment to learn about the environment, join a gardening workshop and take a short jungle walk.
Taking kids close to nature can teach them awareness about conserving mother nature. Exploring nature will also stimulate their creativity and imagination because it is an unstructured style of play that allows kids to interact meaningfully with their surroundings.
Discover these outdoor nature places with your families and create this monthly routine for your family to encourage the young ones to become nature lovers.
