The school holidays have come again, and the children are already asking you about the agenda. The car is ready to go but where can you take them?

Why not keep them happy with some fresh air and educational fun in the nature?

Here are some Malaysia holiday destinations where you can spend quality time with your children, without the added stress of breaking the bank, that will be fun for the rest of the family too!

1. Waterfall in FRIM Kepong

What to do: Located in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, FRIM is one of the best Malaysia holiday destinations in Klang Valley. Being the country’s largest secondary forest, this lush forestry would be an ideal place to take the kids for some adventure among the trees. There are several interesting activities to do in FRIM such as camping, birdwatching, jungle trekking, jogging, and cycling. If your goal is to give the kids an educational experience, you can visit the insect house and herbal botanical garden.

We recommend you take a cool dip in the water and have a relaxing picnic with the bunch whilst enjoying the sounds of nature. Or perhaps you could challenge the children to a stone-stacking competition!

What to note: As the monsoon season is heaviest in November, we suggest you check the weather report and be careful when you’re in the water when you visit this Malaysia holiday destination. There are many shallow parts you can safely dip in but it’s best to be safe!

4. Cameron Highlands, Pahang

What to do: Get away from the city and enjoy some green views of the tea plantation hills in Cameron Highlands. It is one of the best Malaysia holiday destinations due to its beautiful scenery and comfortable weather. The journey will take a while, but with the Rest Reminder feature of your Mitsubishi Outlander, you know you and your kids are in reliable hands. Sipping tea may not be your kids’ idea of fun, but you can enjoy a cuppa while they play in the open gardens.

Then, head over to the strawberry farms to pick some fresh berries, the bee farm for some sweet honey, and the Mossy Forest for a short trek. This will be an unforgettable experience for the young ones!

What to note: Check the suitability of tours and activities in Cameron Highlands based on your children’s ages. Also note that the Mossy Forest can get very slippery during the wet season, so if you plan to go, make sure your family brings the right footwear.
