Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur & Johor Bahru Malaysia

kuala lumpur family vacation

Our family trip to Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru was taken place in 2014, but I want to re-write it; at least it can be a reference for people who might need it.

The trip to visit this cultural country occurred from January 22-25, 2014. I called it one culture country because Indonesia and Malaysia had the same culture, namely Melayu/ Malaya and many descendants from Indonesia resided in Malaysia. They even said that there was government control in Malaysia.

Here’s our itinerary while in Malaysia.

Day # 1 KLCC (Petrosains & Aquaria)

We depart Jakarta by Air Asia with a promo price of IDR 100,000 / USD 7 per seat, which is very cheap. There is little difference between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, as the State Capital City. The Malaysian Government Center itself is located in Putra Jaya.

In Kuala Lumpur, we stayed two nights at V’la Garden Hotel, No. 170 Jalan Pudu Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 55100, the current rate of IDR 776,000 / USD 54 for two nights.

Petrosains is similar to the Pusat Peragaan IPTEK Taman Mini Indonesia Indah Jakarta. It contains informative and educational games for children. It’s more complete here than in Taman Mini Indonesia, Indah.

Aquaria KLCC

At Aquaria KLCC, there are 283 species on display. But it could be more impressive; Indonesia also has a similar place called SEA WORLD in Ancol, North Jakarta. But never mind, we can still take a few photos here.

Hola senora…

Central Market

Central Market is located at Jalan Hang Kasturi, City Center, 50050 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Central Market was built in 1888 and initially served as a wet market. Since then, the place has been considered a Historic Building.

Many tourists visit the Central Market to shop for Malaysian handicrafts, arts, kebaya, songket, and souvenirs. We visited Central Market in the afternoon and just bought it by and tasted the snacks there

My itinerary in Johor Bahru will be written in a separate post.
